I've written a little tube stations quiz game which I think might
appeal to some of the people here. Please feel free to take a look
at www.waitingforlunchtime.co.uk and have a play. Hope you enjoy it!

Be nice to have a drop down list to select the station from after you
start typing it in.


That would make it too easy, especially for stations like Finchley Road and
Frognal or Caledonian Road & Barnsbury, where people might remember that
there are two halves but not remember the second half.

Anyway, thanks Paul, it's a wonderful quiz which you will spend the next
forty years regretting ever having done, because you'll have to maintain it
every time LU change the network!

(I got every station correct except the DLR from Poplar to Beckton/North
Woolwich, Becontree, and Paddington H&C which I called Royal Oak for reasons
which are obvious if you look at the map.)
