Brilliant quiz. And I thought 10 minutes was going to be too generous. Wrong!

Test name did not indicate the map as I first saw it, and it made me think that the top three would be in a tie: "Mind the gap"

I was a bit floored when I saw that some of these "words" aren't words.

@darth_shrimper I know. There's Edgware and Edgware Road, but apparently a third one exists too

There are two 'Edgware Road' stations. Peculiar, I know, but there is no interchange between the Bakerloo Line station and the District/Circle Lines terminus.

Excellent quiz. Though I was hoping that "mackerel" would be a bonus answer :)

@WestEndLovely: daft isn't it. Similar to when there were two stations called Shepherd's Bush about 500yds apart and on different lines (one now being called Shepherd's Bush Market of course)

A great quiz. I kept thinking "King(s)" and "Queen(s)" should be on there, but you're right (Kings Cross St Pancras and King George V but Kingsway / Queen's Park but Queensway and and Queensbury). "Circus" and "Victoria" are ones with only two that I expected there to be more of as well. I don't understand why "&" and "the" aren't separate though.

@Thryduulf: I think I've fixed that now. I had checked the box to filter "a, and, the, &", which means entering "the" gave you the answer "&", when "the" doesn't feature as an answer

always think of rail station names and thought it was a tube station. Good quiz and are you including London overground ?

@ddplok - Overground must be being included as there is no way that there can be 4 instances of "Hampstead" without it: "Hampstead" (Northern Line), "West Hampstead" (Jubilee, Overground), "South Hampstead" (Overground Watford DC Line) and "Hampstead Heath" (London Overground North London Line).

After New Cross and New Cross Gate, I was a bit surprised to find there wasn't a third "New" anywhere.
