Both these questions together definitely rule out the Victoria line.

<spoiler>I'm assuming that Question 1 was the lie, thus leaving NR stations with an l in their name in Zones 1,2 and 5, that are east of Birkbeck, south of the river, and not on SWT...</spoiler> (copy and paste it somewhere to read)
Narrowing it down further than these 9 is harder.

I would say that too much time was wasted earlier asking lame questions such as "are you on X line?", "are you on Y line?". We had three of those in a row.

What can I say, my train of thought went off the rails.

Are you going to count this as a question? I think I might have just killed the fun for everyone else since there's only one chance left to ask a question.

I will let it pass. There are two questions left and I don't think anyone is going to get it unless someone has a wild stab at it.

This is why I think we either need to remove the lying rule OR allow more questions due to the larger number of stations available to the hider.

A quick update of what we have so far. Bear in mind that one of the facts below MAY be a lie.

1 - I am on the tube (LUL services)
2 - I am south of the Thames
3 - I am in zones 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7
4 - I am still south of the Thames
5 - I am not at South Wimbledon
6 - I am not on the Northern line
7 - I am not on the District line
8 - I am not on the Victoria line
9 - I am not on a tube line (i.e. non-SSL)
10 - I am overground
11 - I am not on the Wimbledon branch
12 - I am at a National Rail station
13 - I am not at Kew Gardens
14 - The station I am at has an "L" in its name
15 - I am not at a station served by South West Trains
16 - I am not in zone 3
17 - I am not east of Birkbeck
18 - I am not at Harrow-on-the-Hill (answers 2 and 4 rule this out by miles)

19. Are you in zone 5?

No (19/20).

One question left, so someone's going to have to have a stab in the dark I think.

YES! (20/20)

How did you work that one out? I thought I'd got you all for sure there.

That leaves 5.

I will try and read Neil's mind -

Are you at Loughborough Junction?

No (21/20). I am at Clapham High Street.

Here is a complete list of where I may or may not have been. The answer to question #1 was a lie.

1 - I am on the tube (LIE)
2 - I am south of the Thames
3 - I am in zones 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7
4 - I am still south of the Thames
5 - I am not at South Wimbledon
6 - I am not on the Northern line
7 - I am not on the District line
8 - I am not on the Victoria line
9 - I am not on a tube line (i.e. non-SSL)
10 - I am overground
11 - I am not on the Wimbledon branch
12 - I am at a National Rail station
13 - I am not at Kew Gardens
14 - The station I am at has an "L" in its name
15 - I am not at a station served by South West Trains
16 - I am not in zone 3
17 - I am not east of Birkbeck
18 - I am not at Harrow-on-the-Hill (answers 2 and 4 rule this out by miles)
19 - I am not in zone 5
20 - I am at Clapham High Street!

Hehe, CHS was going to be my guess also.

FWIW I got it down to 8 possibilities assuming Question 1 was a lie and having to ignore Question 10 as I don't know the network that well.

Despite messing up I quite like this game. Easier if you don't lie, and consensus seems to be we shouldn't lie for future games...

I had it down to:
Brockley
Clapham High Street
Denmark Hill
East Dulwich
Herne Hill
Loughborough Junction
North Dulwich
Waterloo East

Waterloo East is an interesting one. It is not actually shown on the London Connections map as a seperate station so I am not sure if it would be allowed or not.

Herne Hill and North Dulwich are both on the zone 2/3 border so were ruled out by Q16.
