Easy

[Starkey7]

Yeah, this was fairly easy once you recognise the (lack of) curvature of the tracks.

[tangy]

Despite me having difficulty in obtaining this shot (finally got it how I wanted it after 10 takes), you had no problems identifying it as Edgware Road (Circle)

Where is the next quiz then? Chop Chop.

[tangy]

You are slow aren't you, it is now online. Admittedly a few minutes late...

[Sam]

You assured us it would be online within half an hour and it is LATE.

How do I go about claiming a refund?

[tangy]

Delays under 15 minutes are not covered by the TTB passenger charter, sorry to disappoint you.

You can't do that. The official names of both stations is simply Edgware Road; you can read that on the station roundels, the maps and all literature and web-based material. The practice of stating which Edgware Road, which Paddington etc is simply something we do on this forum when ambiguity is likely. Here there is no possible ambiguity since the other station's platforms are fully underground. I deserve a full point.

(This is quite different from National Rail's practice of putting the word "London" before the names of the major termini in the capital.)

[tubeguru]

He's right. I'd argue for that too.

[jamesthegill]

Same here.

In fact, given that in the past we've nitpicked and stated that it must be exactly as written on the map, Starkey should get one point and the others (myself, scrxisi, jbom, garion24wales, jonny, tubeguru, steeevooo) should all get half.

[tangy]

After some consideration by myself, I believe I was being a tad harsh and award Starkey the full point for this particular quiz. The platforms are clearly in the open air thus can only be the Circle Line station but where there is two stations that share the same name it is always best to specify which one to avoid any confusion.

Cheers Tangy! You know that it makes sense.
