Re: The Sunday Quickfire quiz! 5
Is there any reason why this quiz happens at a time when a lot of people are in bed?

Re: The Sunday Quickfire quiz! 5
Two things I will point out:
1: you didnt specify either geographically or on a map for question 1. On the map, hounslow east is further west and I'm sure that's the idea we all had for that question. How are we able to know or guess if the question isn't clear enough?
2: unless it's me, question 2 was a bit vague as I thought you were asking to name a/any station that was closed in that period, not for the one specific station.

1. All question based on geography will be based on real life rather than the geography of the tube map.
2. I should have put "and reopened in 1998"

Re: The Sunday Quickfire quiz! 5
With question one, you didn't even specify the London Underground, hence my previous question. You should therefore have allowed the furthest west station named.
