Here's something a bit different for you. eleven questions on the London Underground.
1. Which line has the most stations - 60 in all ?
2. Which has the second most - 52 in all ?
3. Which has the least - just the two ?
4. Which has second least, just nine ?
5. In which year was the London Underground first opened ?
6. What used to be the end of the Southernmost point of the Jublilee line before it was extended ?
7. What station has the deepest lift shaft on the underground ?
8. Which of these is the odd station out - Rayners Lane; Stockwell; Marble Arch; Holborn ?
9. Where is the Metropolitan Line's main depot ?
10. Where is the longest continuous tunnel on the underground ?
11. Where is the longest escalator on the underground ?
It's a tough one, so good luck !

8 Is that they all serve two lines except Marble Arch which is only on the Central and thus only serves one line?

Tony Tony, your earlier five were all correct, and this one also with half-point bonus for a good explanation. Wolfman, 1pt each for correct answers to 1,2,4 and 9. 7 was already answered correctly but you get a half-point for providing the data. The answer to 6) is Charing Cross (it was angled across before the line was extended to a more southerly route). Quiz concluded. 1. Barbelman 6.5pts 2. Wolfman 4.5pts Well done to both !
