Mystery Route Quiz

Post by tangy »

Whilst I am working on some more cryptic station clues (which I must admit are a bit delayed), have a go at this...

1. From this mystery Jubilee Line station travel south 3 stops
2. Interchange to a diferent line
3. Travel west 3 stations
4. Interchange to a diferent line
5. From the station you are now at take a train 2 stations
6. Interchange to a diferent line
7. Now travel westbound for 7 stations
8. Interchange to a diferent line
9. Next, travel 2 stations
0. Interchange to a diferent line
11. Travel 5 stations east
12. Interchange to a diferent line
13. Now travel east again for 2 stations
14. Interchange to a diferent line
15. Travel 5 stations north
16. Interchange to a diferent line
17. Finally travel four stations
18. You should end up back where you started

What is the mystery station that you started and finished at? To preserve this quiz please PM me your answer and what you believe the route is

Have Fun

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

Ladies and Gents, I have recieved a correct answer. Well done to uefacup81 for getting the correct answer first.

The quiz will remain open for a few more days to allow others to have a guess at the route.

It stays in your sentbox until such time as it is read. Once it has been read then it moves to your outbox.

I can't get the answer, but I keep thinking that the first change is at Baker Street, and the final bit is on the Metropolitan line northwest from Kings Cross...

I've been looking at this too. I'm almost there. I hope his explanation doesn't involve any contentious changes :-)

I thought for a while that it involved switching from early morning to standard timetables half-way through... but was wrong!

Can I give it can I give it? :P
The first route I tried was immediately the right one. I don't know, I guess I had a feeling it was going to be the station that it is!
