please empty your brain below

Again, just one station each please...

OK Number 5 is Stockwell

2 is Euston

13 = Waterloo

10 = Archway

14. Brent Cross

15 = Morden.

9 = High Barnet

Nice one. Made my morning.

7 is Oval

No 1 Elephant and Castle

3 is Bank

6 is, of course, Angel - which used to be one of the very few Northern Line stations with a centrally placed platform - with both the northbound and southbound tracks on either side. Does anybody remember that? It's now completely refurbed of course - sometime in the mid 90s - and that design of platform no longer exists at Angel. However, there remain a few of these platform designs still left on the Northern Line - do you know which ones?

12. Kentish Town

11 Leicester Square

8. Borough

Well, I guess #4 (London Bridge) is the only one left. I'd have liked to show off a bit by getting one of the harder ones, though.

That's all 15 stations guessed correctly first time. (Are these quizzes getting too easy? I thought 9 & 11 in particular were really hard)

  1] Elephant and Castle
  2] Euston
  3] Bank
  4] London Bridge
  5] Stockwell
  6] Angel
  7] Oval
  8] Borough
  9] High Barnet
10] Archway
11] Leicester Square
12] Kentish Town
13] Waterloo
14] Brent Cross
15] Morden

I thought it was a good mix of the simple, the obscure, the hard and the funny.

But perhaps that's only because I got one of the harder ones...

Was no. 4 meant to be London Bridge as in "a London bridge"? Because it's Tower Bridge in the picture.

"the simple, the obscure, the hard and the funny" - rather like the people who read Geezer's blog

Clapham north, Clapham Common - in answer to Jag

And in answer to Alan - number 4 was 'a' London Bridge not 'the' London Bridge. Only an American trying to buy Tower Bridge and dump it in Arizona would ever make that mistake...

Of course, if you really want theat feling of insecurity that you get only from a centrally placed platform, travel up to Glasgow- most of the stations on its toy sized version of the Underground have single central platforms. Quite often,rather narrow ones (the trains are tiny, so are the platforms).
