And on the District, we have
St Marys, South Acton, Earls Court (the old one), & Mark Lane

Also, can anybody name the disused station on the Jubilee Line? PM me if you know the answer and i'll reveal it here soon.

True. I did leave one out to see if you knew. Ok, what about the Circle Line?

The Circle line has no unique stations so it won't have any disused stations.

I did mean what staions that are on the Cirlce/Met etc but never mind. You're right about Shoreditch. It was the latest to close. Ok, what is so special about North End?

It's the only station excavated at tube level but not connected to the surface by tunnels.

Correct. Now lets see if you know this. What health hazard was cleared up in the 1970's (I think) and what is the local nickname of the station?

I think some prep work was also done for a Heathrow Terminal 5 when the T4 loop was put in during the 80s. North End was known as Bull and Bush after a pub that is near (but not that near) the station.

Some work was done for a station for T5 but the present T5 is no-where near the planned location so all there is is aboiut 200m of enlarged tunnel.
Also, Bull & Bush / North End is correct.
