I'm not even gona lie I saw this and thought I can 25 no problem. Ohhh How I was wrong I was confused as to what side St James's Park was of Victoria, so I clicked Sloane Square by accident and got 24 out of 25 Tried again and had a few close calls had to find Elm Park but nearly clicked Dagenham Heathway. On Bakerloo Line I had to find Kilburn Park and nearly clicked Maida Vale. Got 25 on the second go. phew! It was fun !

The map seems to freeze when I tried it on my PC. On my phone, it's fine but a little fiddly - sadly, I'm bad when it comes to Overground stations so I've yet to get 25.

I got 17 out of 25, most of the wrong ones being on the Overground and DLR. Stepney Green I knew yet I got wrong because I didn't zoom in and hit Mile End by mistake. I must admit that about 30% of the undergrounds stations involved the northern line, which is the one I know the best.

iGot 21//25 - Sorry, But Where On This Earth Is HatchEnd?? iThought It May Have Been On The New OverGround Network North of Harrow and Wealdstone and south of Bushey. It's one that I dread getting in the quiz but I've always managed to find it (so far!). The core tube network I have no problem with - it's the bits of DLR and Overground I don't use much which are the killers. If you want an absolute horror of a quiz about the tube then there is one about the 50 commonest words on the tube map (how many times a specific word is mentioned). The 50 words are all referenced 3 or more times on the map (prior to the recent Overground additions). I can now get all 50 in under 10 minutes but it's a real mind bender. Lost track of the times I've got to 48 or 49 and been timed out. www.sporcle.com/games/pecheneg/london_underground_wordsThe other one is entering all the tube station names in under 5 minutes but by typing three letters which appear within a station name - e.g. "wes" appears in all station names with the word "west" in them. I can actually do this quiz in under 2.5 mins but it's only with a lot of practice and developing a method of appropriate three letters to tick off the names. The killers are those stations which are unique and need to be separately remembered. www.sporcle.com/games/Thryduulf/tube-by-any-3-letters

Yay, finally got 25 out of 25 - I got super lucky with guessing where Pontoon Dock is. All I knew is it was a DLR station and was on the Woolwich Arsenal line lol.

For Clapham North I accentially clicked Clapham High Street as I thought it would be the same button also managed to get Stoke Newington on the "new" Overground line wrong, but guessed Stamford Hill and got it right . Thought Hampstead Heath was the next one up from Euston on the Edgware branch and not on the NLL

First try; 17/25. I didn't knew where Kensal Green was, misclicked Shepherd's Bush for White City, didn't know where on Earth Crouch End was, mistaken Clapham South for Clapham Common and mistaken High Street Kensington for South Kensington, got lost with Warren Street's location.
Second try: 17/25 again
Third try: 22/25 with 4 lives...
[EDIT] Fourth try: 21/25 with 3 lives.

11/11 at the first attempt. I've been to several of the cities and am aware of system maps from looking at urbanrail.net which is an excellent resource about Metro and tram systems across the world.
