(don't peek until you've had a guess)
(still further down) Answers as follows: » Watford Junction (used to be on the Bakerloo line) » New Cross, Rotherhithe (used to be on the East London line) » Shoeburyness, Leigh-on-Sea (used to be served by excursion trains on the District line) » Drayton Park (used to be on the Northern line) » Ongar (used to be on the Central line) » Southall, Slough (used to be served by Windsor trains on the District line) » Stoke Mandeville (used to be on the Metropolitan line) For more information, see here. (how did you do?) |
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. |
Eight, didn't know about the Windsor trains.
|
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) |
I managed 8, like Gordon above I was unaware of the Southhall/Slough District line service.
|
I agree with Dominic above regarding District trains west of Ealing, but I did get all 10. I know, I should get out more...
|
Six, but just by guessing, I'm afraid.
|
Another 8/10 here, and with the same omissions for the same reason as John and Gordon above.
|
8 out of 10
The Slough & Southall ones, Dominic, being two of the five which "have never been London Underground stations". |
9, spottted Rotherhithe, but not New Cross. Doh.
|
HoosierSands,
nope: those five are Clapham J, Ilfrod, Fenchurch St, Ally Pally & High Wycombe |
Wow I got nine. I really am geekier than I think. I knew about Slough but forgot Southall would have been en route.
|
10 but I would have been really embarrassed if I hadn't have got them.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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)
|
Mile End once carried "LMS" on the exterior canopy presumably on the strength of these through-trains to Shoeburyness. http://www.ltmcollection.org/photos/photo/photo.html?_IXMAXHITS_=1&_IXSR_=JekrJUwVJc8&IXsummary=results/results&IXsearch=mile end&_IXFIRST_=32&IXenlarge=9888803 |
5/10...I'm embarrassed!
|
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).
|
7. Didn't know about Leigh/Shoebury and got Slough but missed Southall.
Fun. |
Ditto "Another 8/10 here, and with the same omissions for the same reason as John and Gordon above."
|
9/10. Didn't get Shoeburyness, even though I spotted Leigh-on-Sea.
Oh well... |
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. |
I got them all right, and I didn't peek
|
9/10 - I also hadn't thought the District trains ran beyond Southend.
|
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?!?!)
