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

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.

Too difficult to explain I think.

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

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

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-)

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

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

There are also two Northwoods on the Met Line, and three Finchleys on
the Northern Line.

If you want to expand the thread a little further, how about stations
which "sound" as though they are very close, but in fact are far
apart?. I was thinking of Blackhorse Road (tube) and Blackhorse Lane
(Tramlink)

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, ...

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.

All Metropolitan trains stop at Baker Street, Finchley Road and
Harrow-on-the-Hill except for the Chesham shuttle. However from December
there will be through trains to Chesham all day, so hang to your
questions as they will be right soon!

Vowel letters, please.

Most accents of English probably have fifteen or more vowels (as in
meaningfully distinct sounds).
