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 didn't think it had to be in the same town. I suppose this would
rule out Gate on the Central.

"where each town has precisely two stations" must surely mean that the
town contains the two stations.

Correct. Unless you think there's a town/suburb/district in London
called Gate.

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-)

Ah, so this alleged definition would have Liverpool as a city wich "has"
a station called Liverpool Street? Hmm.

Maybe, but it's sufficiently well recognised to appear on maps, and it
looks to me as if Sudbury Town and Sudbury Hill are both in Sudbury. In
the absence of defined boundaries, you ask someone who lives next door
to Sudbury Hill station if he lives in Sudbury.

and Eastcote is in the Ruislip postcode.

So what? It's not a "Ruislip" station under his definition.

If you can't begin to understand his question, ...

Talking to yourself again, Basil? :-)

Poor analogy. No-one in Liverpool has Liverpool Street as their nearest
station. There are people in Putney who have Putney Bridge as their
nearest station. Putney Bridge station serves Putney, although obviously
it serves Fulham better.

Too difficult to explain I think.

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