I would like clarification on my incorrect answer here...The Orange One wrote:Results!! A four-way tie, as well. Jamesthegill, you were in first place, but tubeguru's late entry bumped you down there. The latter parts of this quiz were written just to see how people cope with easy questions.
1st= tractakid - 64
1st= greatkingrat - 64
1st= Garion - 64
1st= TC95 - 64
5th: jamesthegill - 192
6th: tubeguru - 372
7th: A2 - 6144
And the bit you can argue over - lots to argue about here! If you can convince me, I will change the results, but you'll find it pretty hard.
3) Name a forum member who has written all the questions for more than one "Rare Entries Quiz" thread on this forum, started before today.
Correct answers:
TRACTAKID - tractakid
jamesthegill - jamesthegill

Wrong answers:

One of those three threads had Hopeful Traveller creating the questions, one of them had no questions at all, so only one thread with questions done by Going Underground.

If you count Marylebone as two separate stations, I would argue that Finsbury Park and Kentish Town are two stations as well.The Orange One wrote:Marylebone is two separate stations.

I believed that was part of the Tube Challenge convention for stations. Since this convention is unclear, I have defaulted to my original convention, which is this:tubeguru wrote:Exactly, as it is a thorny subject, you should specify this in the question.greatkingrat wrote:If you count Marylebone as two separate stations, I would argue that Finsbury Park and Kentish Town are two stations as well.The Orange One wrote:Marylebone is two separate stations.
Different stations are behind different sets of barriers, with the exceptions of:
- Bank/Monument, where the bits called Bank are different to the bits called Monument
- Waterloo, where the Waterloo and City Line platforms are part of the tube stations
- The Mainline stations of Paddington, Waterloo, Victoria, Euston, Liverpool Street, St. Pancras International, where all National Rail platforms are grouped into one station, despite being behind different barriers
- Finsbury Park is two, despite both the National Rail platforms 1 and 2 and the London Underground platforms being barrierless
- Chalfont and Latimer, Chorleywood and South Kenton are each one station, despite partly having no barriers
This means Moorgate, Old Street, Kentish Town, Seven Sisters and Blackhorse Road are each a single station.

Re: Rare Entries XIII - another assortment
Just because they are behind different barriers does not make them different stations. If that's the case Victoria is two stations as platforms 1 - 7 are behind one set of barriers and platforms 8-17 behind another.The Orange One wrote:I believed that was part of the Tube Challenge convention for stations.

I'm really confused here! Can someone else explain this in a more simpler way?

Brixton and Balham have each always been two separate stations, Blackfriars and Cannon Street are considered to be as well.

As the question is based on the map- use what the map shows as a single station!
