Tangentially, here is my underground quiz question (a 3 parter)
On which Underground line is only 1 station served by all* trains?
On which Underground line are only 2 stations served by all trains?
On which Underground line are only 3 stations served by all trains?


*at normal times of day, at least


Are the first two answers


District Line (Earls Court)
Waterloo And City Line (Waterloo and Bank)


I thought the third might be the Northern Line (Kennington, Euston and
Camden Town) but that does not account for the Mill Hill East shuttle.


For the second can you count the Metropolitan: Baker Street and
Finchley Road?


Don't they all also call at Wembley Park and HotH? (once again, apart
from the Chesham shuttle).

There are also two Northwoods on the Met Line, and three Finchleys on
the Northern Line.

If you want to expand the thread a little further, how about stations
which "sound" as though they are very close, but in fact are far
apart?. I was thinking of Blackhorse Road (tube) and Blackhorse Lane
(Tramlink)
