Re: The Sunday Quickfire quiz! 3
Any existing station, open or closed is covered by this, as you have used the word "and" to join the two. After all, a closed station is still in existence, and is therefore "current".The Raven wrote:... and open and current stations

And I'm not sure about the line (as they were on both the Piccadilly and bakerloo if I remember correctly but definitely 1938 stock which replaced the older standard stock trains due to corrosion from the salt air.
