remember the last 2 no longer exist maybe you should look out those old diaries :lol:

[Edgemaster]

British Museum?

Just a random guess from the TfL Tube Infrastructure map :)

[Edgemaster]

Hmm, no wonder I couldnt find the croydon one, I googled the question, found the answer, and found the station STILL exists. :huh:

Just it&#39;s got a different name.

Actually, it&#39;s had 3 different names before the current, and is also a mainline station.

Oh, you may need a 1968 map to catch it, too.

[nobbynobbs]

could that croydon one be aldwych???

what are we missing now?

[Tiger-Eyes]

These are the ones we are still loooking for

Bigger than big
Women’s lib ends here
Channel Crossing for many
England Expects
Entrance to a Croydon store or tree

the Croydon one isn&#39;t aldwych sorry
:D

[Mrs Blorenge]

What this Quiz has done is make me look in detail at the newer line developments of the Tube Map: Who on earth decided that Mudchute would be a nice name for a Tube station? :blink: :P

Is "Channel crossing" Westferry? (I mean, it is for all those French people...)

[slimey]

Okay, Barbican used to be called Aldersgate, so that must be the Croydon one...

Erm, we got the bigger than big one right already = wapping

[t.a.folk]

England Expects

Waterloo?

[Roving Rangies]

Entrance to a Croydon store or tree = Aldwych??

Alders is the big store, and store or tree= which

Ops&#33; I made a mistake by not checking all the previous answers, but I do have a valid point though&#33;&#33;

[lost it]

The channel crossing is very obscure so I&#39;ll change the clue to
Change direction with envy

[perth pathfinders]

Change direction with envy - Turn Ham Green?

[Tiger-Eyes]

Originally posted by perth pathfinders@Jan 30 2007, 03:37 PM

Yes :D
I still can&#39;t work out how they make that the answer for Channel crossing for many

[KathyXB]

Some of the channel crossings I&#39;ve had turned me green...

[perth pathfinders]

Womens Lib ends - Tuff Nell Park?

[keehotee]

Womens Lib ends - Barbican (Barbie can....) ????

[Tiger-Eyes]

extra clue for womens lib ends here - does it echo?

extra clue for englands expects - battle it out

[nobbynobbs]

:D

[keehotee]

Didn&#39;t think Trafalgar Square was an underground station anymore?

[perth pathfinders]

Sorry it was on the same post as the last one I missed :(

So only one to get then
women&#39;s lib ends here or does it echo

keehotee the last two of the quiz were for stations that no longer exsist hence the trafalger one

[Roving Rangies]

When this quiz is complete, can we expect a complete run down of clues and the correct station names next to them??

[Tiger-Eyes]

I might just be able to manage that ;)

[zaphod b]

Googled it and have the answer.......yes I know I&#39;m only cheating myself......the original clue is clever though.

[perth pathfinders]
