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. |

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

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

Unless you think there's a town/suburb/district in London called Gate. -- Richard J. (to email me, swap 'uk' and 'yon' in address) |
