Default Two "Street" stations in a row: prospective quiz question

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".


Too difficult to explain I think.

Anyway, hasn't the District got two Dagenhams, two Upminsters and Two
Ealings?

------------------

Ah, but that's three twos and I was asking for two twos ;-)

So that makes 3 in a row, sort of; maybe that is unique

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?

The third I think probly was intended to the the Northern. Can't
think of anything else that comes close.

I'm wondering whether the OP mis-remembered the question. If you substitute
'Road' for 'Street' then I think (BICBW) that there is only one adjacent
pairing.
