I got six, which is a lot better than I was expecting seeming as they were just guesses.

I am really suprised about Leigh-on-Sea and Shoeburyness. They were the two I was most sure of not being served by underground trains.

Barry | 12.11.12 - 7:22 a.m. | #

Eight, didn't know about the Windsor trains.

Gordon | 12.11.12 - 7:32 a.m. | #

10/10...although I wonder, pedantically, whether "London Underground" is really the correct term for the Slough/Windsor service - wasn't that the District Railway, and the time that the service ran a few decades before "London Underground" branding - or even concept - entered into general use?

(The Shoebury line service, I think, did run into the 1930s, so probably doesn't require any such qualification)

Dominic H | 12.11.12 - 7:33 a.m. | #

I managed 8, like Gordon above I was unaware of the Southhall/Slough District line service.

John | 12.11.12 - 7:35 a.m. | #

I agree with Dominic above regarding District trains west of Ealing, but I did get all 10. I know, I should get out more...

| 12.11.12 - 8:00 a.m. | #

Six, but just by guessing, I'm afraid.

allotmentqueen | Homepage | 12.11.12 - 8:27 a.m. | #

Another 8/10 here, and with the same omissions for the same reason as John and Gordon above.

Nightmale | 12.11.12 - 8:38 a.m. | #

8 out of 10

The Slough & Southall ones, Dominic, being two of the five which "have never been London Underground stations".

HoosierSands | Homepage | 12.11.12 - 8:45 a.m. | #

9, spottted Rotherhithe, but not New Cross. Doh.

Lorenzo | 12.11.12 - 9:05 a.m. | #

HoosierSands,

nope: those five are Clapham J, Ilfrod, Fenchurch St, Ally Pally & High Wycombe

Dominic H | 12.11.12 - 9:09 a.m. | #

Wow I got nine. I really am geekier than I think. I knew about Slough but forgot Southall would have been en route.

Peter G | 12.11.12 - 9:12 a.m. | #

10 but I would have been really embarrassed if I hadn't have got them.

Pedantic of Purley | 12.11.12 - 9:37 a.m. | #

8/10 but not being too hard on myself as apparently Slough and Southall were only served by the District Line for two years in the 1800's.

Whiff | 12.11.12 - 10:02 a.m. | #

10. 9 were straight forward, but it took me a while/process of elimination to remember was Drayton Park (doh). Also not entirely sure the Windsor trains were technically tube trains, rather they just happened to run over tube lines.

Rich | 12.11.12 - 10:24 a.m. | #

Missed Leigh on Sea, even though I spotted Shoeburyness. (Although I was doubtful about that one, as I thought the excursions only went as far as Southend)

timbo | 12.11.12 - 10:40 a.m. | #

Mile End once carried "LMS" on the exterior canopy presumably on the strength of these through-trains to Shoeburyness.

Kim | 12.11.12 - 11:31 a.m. | #

5/10...I'm embarrassed!

Bernie | 12.11.12 - 12:26 p.m. | #

I got seven. To be honest, I've never knew that the District line ever went to Southall or Slough, although I heard that the other end of the line used to go deep into Essex (meaning I correctly guessed Leigh-on-Sea and Shoeburyness).

Andrewh | Homepage | 12.11.12 - 12:31 p.m. | #

7. Didn't know about Leigh/Shoebury and got Slough but missed Southall.

Fun.

David | 12.11.12 - 1:38 p.m. | #

Ditto "Another 8/10 here, and with the same omissions for the same reason as John and Gordon above."

Philip | 12.11.12 - 8:09 p.m. | #

9/10. Didn't get Shoeburyness, even though I spotted Leigh-on-Sea.
Oh well...

ChrisMitch | 12.11.12 - 8:20 p.m. | #

9/10 Like ChrisMitch I missed Shoeburyness, I didn't think the excursions went beyond Southend.
I also thought that the Met used to serve High Wycombe, but obviously not.

Chris M | 14.11.12 - 1:49 p.m. | #

I got them all right, and I didn't peek

Charles | 15.11.12 - 12:43 p.m. | #

9/10 - I also hadn't thought the District trains ran beyond Southend.

Tom B | 16.11.12 - 8:28 p.m. | #

I'm the opposite of Peter G, I thought they terminated at Southall and didn't go as far as Slough. Still, I got 9/10 (why did I think Ilford was ever on the Tube?!?!)
