	I thought the east london line was more orange, and the waterloo and city more green

	@Paul: The line is called the 'Waterloo & City' line because it connects the stations of Waterloo and Bank (one of the largest stations close to the City Centre).

	The East London line has now been closed to be incorporated into the new London Overground network. It too is also an orangey colour so maybe they could just be swapped?

	pberry:	Feb 17th, 2009 at 21:59 GMT	10 points
	East London no longer part of the Underground (even though the old parts /are/ under ground): will be part of the Overground when reopened.

	I lived in London for almost two years and I never heard of the East London line.

	The East London line must be taken off because it is becoming part of the London Overground System

	@queenofnerds: I've lived in London for almost 18 years and never heard of the East London Line.

	London underground is the best subway system in the world.

	DeeJay:	Aug 10th, 2009 at 14:32 GMT	15 points
	I think maybe DLR should be a bonus answer?

	Kitimat88:	Aug 23rd, 2009 at 20:29 GMT	2 points
	@DerKomissar Yes, the East London line is currently just bus services and when it reopens it'll be part of the London Overground network. But London Overground and DLR could be bonus answers.

	Never heard of the East London line and agre about DLR

	lwfc:	Sep 21st, 2009 at 17:48 GMT	4 points
	Very easy for a Londoner, I got them all in 35 seconds. But I thought DLR was part of the tube?

	rum:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 17:59 GMT	3 points
	Colours could have been a bit clearer though got answers pretty quickly. Definitely heard of the east london line...

	lived in london for 6 weeks this summer - i'd say 8/12 isn't terrible for an american

	Got all these, but shouldn't it be in Geography rather than Entertainment

	Dudfoot:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 15:15 GMT	2 points
	I'll get marked down savagely for pedantry, but strictly speaking not all of these are tube lines. "Tube" refers to the smaller diameter circular tunnels used by the physically smaller trains - the Victoria and Northern lines are examples. The lines with the larger, square-section tunnels (and larger trains) such as the District and Metropolitan are underground railways but not, officially, "tubes". Having said that, "tube" is a common catch-all term for the entire network, and I don't think that the quiz needs amending. Just being a smarty-pants.

	fryslan:	Apr 13th, 2010 at 16:22 GMT	3 points
	The East London line isn't in service anymore.

	gowhere:	Apr 15th, 2010 at 18:22 GMT	3 points
	I tried the Drain, before I thought of Waterloo and City.

	chrispaz:	Nov 10th, 2010 at 12:20 GMT	1 point
	DLR should be a bonus at least.

	planetmutty:	Nov 24th, 2010 at 19:27 GMT	1 point
	I thought the DLR was psrt of the Tube? Technically it isn't underground (like many parts of the Tube) but it is always shown on Tube maps.

	@conio: The whole quiz is about London underground lines. If you want one so badly about New York subway lines, go make one yorself and stop moaning about this quiz.

	37 seconds =D But I did live there for three years.

	freekernow:	May 25th, 2011 at 21:26 GMT	3 points
	East London is now officially part of the tube map, as I believe is the DLR :)

	Feags:	Jun 17th, 2011 at 17:17 GMT	2 points
	Only been to London once. As a Yank I'm pretty proud of the four I remembered. And yes, The_Snakes, I agree. London's mass transit system is the best I've ever been on.

	squirrelito:	Jun 17th, 2011 at 18:05 GMT	1 point
	@freekernow, yup, East London, DLR and Overground are all shown on the TfL Tube map. With East London now being lumped in with Overground and not all Underground being underground at all, seems like a typically British wheeze to confuse the innocent :D

	squirrelito:	Jun 17th, 2011 at 18:10 GMT	4 points
	ps: the London Underground map must surely be one of the most beautifully conceived pieces of public information ever. I've seen it copied around the world, but it never quite seems to come off quite so perfectly. It's a work of art.

	Kitimat88:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 19:07 GMT	2 points
	As a native Londoner I'm amazed anyone thinks London's mass transit system is the best in the world...it's TERRIBLE, for a wealthy Western nation! Off the top of my head, Paris, Madrid, Toronto, and Washington D.C. all have better systems. I suppose it depends on your comparison point though...(Athens' is fairly bad, for example.)

	gvigary:	Dec 24th, 2011 at 16:54 GMT	1 point
	Missed the Drain, despite taking it to work regularly for a couple of years (albeit 20 years ago!). Can't take seriously a "line" with only two station on it!

	gvigary:	Dec 24th, 2011 at 16:58 GMT	1 point
	BTW it's hard to distinguish between underground and overground when some central sections of overground are underground (eg Finsbury Park to Moorgate), while more than half the length of the "Underground" is actually above the surface.
