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 ;-) |

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. |

If you substitute 'Road' for 'Street' then I think (BICBW) that there is only one adjacent pairing. |
