Gah! I just remembered Warren Street and Goodge Street.
I was *thinking* of Baker Street and Bond Street!
Back to the attic!
How about
Which is the only London Underground line which boasts two towns along
its' route where each town has precisely two stations? I believe the
answer is the Piccadilly with Ruislip/Ruislip Manor and Sudbury
Hill/Sudbury Town. The question may need tweaking to make it clearer. I
used the word "precisely" to eliminate the 3 Hounslows but I'm not sure
about use of "town".
There are several such station pairs on the District, namely Ealing,
Putney, Wimbledon, Dagenham, Upminster, Bow and conceivably Ham. Your
question doesn't specify that the line should have only a pair of pairs.
Putney doesn't count as Putney Bridge station isn't in Putney.
I knew someone would say that. His example makes it clear that he
considers a town to "have" a station if the town name is in the station
name. After all, Sudbury has no clear boundaries, and Eastcote is in the
Ruislip postcode. If you can't begin to understand his question, you
shouldn't comment on whether other people are answering it correctly. 8-)
