How about

Which is the only London Underground line which boasts two towns along
its' route where each town has precisely two stations? I believe the
answer is the Piccadilly with Ruislip/Ruislip Manor and Sudbury
Hill/Sudbury Town. The question may need tweaking to make it clearer. I
used the word "precisely" to eliminate the 3 Hounslows but I'm not sure
about use of "town".

There are several such station pairs on the District, namely Ealing,
Putney, Wimbledon, Dagenham, Upminster, Bow and conceivably Ham. Your
question doesn't specify that the line should have only a pair of pairs.

Putney doesn't count as Putney Bridge station isn't in Putney.

I knew someone would say that. His example makes it clear that he
considers a town to "have" a station if the town name is in the station
name. After all, Sudbury has no clear boundaries, and Eastcote is in the
Ruislip postcode. If you can't begin to understand his question, you
shouldn't comment on whether other people are answering it correctly. 8-)

So that makes 3 in a row, sort of; maybe that is unique

Tangentially, here is my underground quiz question (a 3 parter)
On which Underground line is only 1 station served by all* trains?
On which Underground line are only 2 stations served by all trains?
On which Underground line are only 3 stations served by all trains?

*at normal times of day, at least

Are the first two answers

District Line (Earls Court)
Waterloo And City Line (Waterloo and Bank)

I thought the third might be the Northern Line (Kennington, Euston and
Camden Town) but that does not account for the Mill Hill East shuttle.

For the second can you count the Metropolitan: Baker Street and
Finchley Road?

The third I think probly was intended to the the Northern. Can't
think of anything else that comes close.

Don't they all also call at Wembley Park and HotH? (once again, apart
from the Chesham shuttle).

There are also two Northwoods on the Met Line, and three Finchleys on
the Northern Line.

If you want to expand the thread a little further, how about stations
which "sound" as though they are very close, but in fact are far
apart?. I was thinking of Blackhorse Road (tube) and Blackhorse Lane
(Tramlink)

Right on all counts I forgot about Mill Hill East *sigh*

that's tricksy, as they might change the stopping patterns.
I thought everything stopped at Harrow at the minute.

OK here is another one hopefully better researched: everyone knows
there are two Tube stations which contain all five vowels, but which
station on the Tube map contains *six* vowels, a, e, i, o, u and also
y?
