I got 10 wrong taking x to mean cross.

Two things I will point out:

1: you didnt specify either geographically or on a map for question 1. On the map, hounslow east is further west and I'm sure that's the idea we all had for that question. How are we able to know or guess if the question isn't clear enough?

2: unless it's me, question 2 was a bit vague as I thought you were asking to name a/any station that was closed in that period, not for the one specific station.

Right, results:

6th garion24wales
6/10 in 17 mins = 50 points

5th soup dragon
6/10 in 14 mins = 52 points

4th jbom
8/10 in 26 mins = 59 points

3rd going underground
7/10 in 13 mins = 61 points

2nd jamesthegill
7/10 in 12 mins = 62 points

And in 1st place and the first person to get 10/10 is....
1st greatkingrat
10/10 in 26 mins = 74 points

Sorry for the lack of clarity
1. All question based on geography will be based on real life rather than the geography of the tube map.
2. I should have put "and reopened in 1998"

With question one, you didn't even specify the London Underground, hence my previous question. You should therefore have allowed the furthest west station named.

That would still be Eastcote. I wonder though what are the futhest north, west, east, south stations in the world in terms of latitude?
