Good fun. I come up with two solutions to the second column.

Fairly easy, but most of the stations are my side of town. Column two and the first 2 took longest for me to figure out.

I fell into the trap you set in column 2, but felt uneasy about it. I corrected it after 5 minutes, but before checking the map.

This is easy, I thought - but it's deceptive. Be careful with options!

where "tube stations" is strictly those with at least one London Underground line, yes? and so not those that are only Overground, TfL Rail or other National Rail services?

8 out of 8!
Once you figure that <snip>, the rest of the 2nd column kind of fell into place.

I thought there wasn't a unique solution to the second column, until I read the question properly.
I don't think it's giving anything away to observe that none of the stations in the second column are actually under ground.

Failed by not reading the question carefully.
Always wondered why the compass point sometimes comes before and sometimes after the name.
kev | 02.11.18 - 10:47 a.m. | #

Some names only <snip> so modt probably start with them IMHO.
I only need to double check the last one to ensure 100%. All others... I recite them often.
I only passed two of these stations and stepped on absolutely zero.

Using process of elimination and what sounds right - 100%!

All correct. It's interesting how some nondescript suburbs of London can have SO many stations named after them, giving them an importance completely out of scale with the reality!

I got them 🙂

No problems with the first column. I live locally to a place in the second column, so I knew one compass point. Thought I got the rest of the column right, checking the tube I found that I got it wrong. A station I remembered as being very ‘West’ wasn't!

100% Enjoyed the checking of the second column.

Got 2 compass points the wrong way round in the first column, but got the second column right!

Having memorised Jay Foreman's "Every Tube Station" really makes this a little easier ;)
Muzer | 02.11.18 - 1:41 p.m. | #

The first column took me about 15 seconds, the second about 30.
I think it's safe to say that my knowledge of the Tube map is pretty good... ;)

I got the left column correct, but I messed up the right one (<snip> don't count).

All correct in less than 2 mins but then I regularly play quizzes like "commonest words on tube map" or "fill in this blank tube map with all the stn names". This gives me a ridiculous advantage when doing a quiz like this one.

Grrr... only 6. The second column's a bit of a Rubik cube so it's easy to be misled.

Yes - all correct - but I am a bit of a fan of the London Underground, so easy for me.

Answers
Clapham South
Hounslow West
Aldgate East
Lambeth North
North Ealing
South Ruislip
West Hampstead
East Acton
(in the 2nd column, South Hampstead is on the Overground, so doesn't count)

100% without looking at the map - woohoo!!

what do you have against Hounslow East ?!

@ADS
Aldgate has to be East as there is no other choice there, so to use all four directions it then has to be Hounslow West.
I don't think DG has any particular vendetta about parts of Hounslow!

I expected 100% but was incorrect with Clapham and Ealing..
Frank F | 03.11.18 - 9:29 a.m. | #

Aldgate and Hampstead were the "keys". As they could only be one thing, it then makes the rest fall in to place.

I got the north and south mixed up in the first column. A rookie error!
Cornish Cockney | 03.11.18 - 11:47 a.m. | #

The first column completely right, the second column wrong except for North Ealing. (I got confused by South Acton mainline and West Ruislip tube, and concluded that East Hampstead was the correct choice.
I didn't use a tube map though.

No smugness from me. Berked the last two....
Chris | 04.11.18 - 6:30 p.m. | #

100%, no tube map. But I'd have been disappointed if I didn't.
I went about it by filling in the ones with only one possible answer first, then working back from that - e.g. Lambeth North and West Hampstead.
