Q13, the other answer being Bakerloo.

The answer was correct until the East London Line was closed. One suspects that it is old quiz questions being copied with no consideration whether the answers are still correct.

I agree with GKR, the wording is "Which of the following lines is connected to all of the other lines?" on Q13, so the fact that there's another line that connects to all lines is irrelevant.

Q4 is dodgy, I picked Harry as that's more commonly quoted but Henry is accurate too.

I actually agree with Iain and GKR. Given the phrasing of Q13 my earlier comment is incorrect.

I'm switching allegiance to Q4. I think I probably had a 50/50 lucky guess on that one too.

The Beck question is messed up as both names are correct (like Prince Harry's real name is Henry) etc.
