I have not examined this too carefully as my eyesight has recently
worsened. I thought of a quiz question.... Q: On the 12 main Tube lines [i.e. not DLR or overground, although I think they could be included] there is only one occurrence of a station ending in Street being adjacent to a station ending in Street. That may not be clear. What I mean is that on one of the major London Tube lines there's a _____ Street followed on the same line by a ______ Street. If I'm still in a wifi area I'll give what I think is the unique answer in an hour, ie at about 17:15. |

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. |

I suppose this would rule out Gate on the Central. |

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-) |

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