8. How many LU stations only have one platform? 3 - Chesham, Mill Hill East and Heathrow Terminal 4

Surely thats 4? Kensington Olympia. It only has 1 platform at the LU station. Yes, the NR station has 2 further platform. Otherwise the answer is 3, as Heathrow Terminal 4 also has a NR platform.

Somehow I knew this question was up to debate! Next time I'll research and word my questions better!

[The Raven]

Pls do one at a time I can play eventually too

What time would be the best for everyone?

Also one idea I had was doing a personal quickfire quiz "mastermind" style.
- choose a specialist subject (London underground not allowed!)
- 10 specialist questions and 10 general knowledge questions
- choose a time and I'll PM the questions and you will have 100 minutes to answer!
