Hello Paul, thanks for posting this - just got a couple of questions: Q2, when you say London General I take it it's not just the LBL operating unit but the parts that became Go-Ahead London General as well? Q5, when you say 'has' been operated by N garage, does this have to be a route previously run from there or are current ones ok? Q10, when you say LUL station - do you mean somewhere on the present LUL network, but was shut by another organisation (even LT is a different organisation to the current LUL  ) or somewhere the present LUL closed within it's time? Sorry to be picky, just don't want to get this wrong  |

Thank you paulsw2 for a nice quiz. The 25s garage question seems to have backfired quite badly, quite a few people seem to have gone after that short RM allocation |
