Printed myself out a large version of the tube map - with all 270 stations removed. How long will it take me - and is it possible? - for me to write in all the missing station names.

The obvious strategy is to sing the every tube station song and fill them in as you go, then you won't miss any! You're welcome :)

There's a whole row of stations on the MBTA Green Line in Boston that seem like they were specifically named to be funny when said over the PA system in a Boston accent: Lechmere, Science Park, North Station, Haymarket, Government Center, and Park Street. When I lived in the area, it used to brighten my day anytime I got to hear a harassed-sounding T driver announce "Gummint Cenna" on one of the older trains where the driver still had to do the announcements live. :)

Extremely impressive Geoff! 266 out of 270 is definitely something to be proud of. Something I'm going to try and do in the next few weeks is to travel at least one stop on each tube line in a day (maybe within a time limit). Should be easy. Good going with the tube map though, very well done. Cheers, Matt

Nice game. It could be a nice addition to the station master app. During boring commuting time people will check their underground knowledge with iPhone. It may have multiple choices and a score to beat. I don't think is difficult. I will do it for zones 1 and 2 in paper since I don't really visit anything outside them.

@nigelkingsley444 5 лет назад

Although this test has nothing to do with streets/roads, as such, perhaps using it for familiarisation, would be a good starting point for those who want to do The Knowledge. Also as the area of The Knowledge in only a 6 mile radius from Charing Cross, then the number of stations in that area falls well short of the 270 total, which makes 'Filling in a blank Tube Map' a lot easier!

@davidrobins1021 7 лет назад

Colindale and Burnt Oak the wrong way round was another one, but this is still impressive, despite a few mistakes. I could do pretty much the whole of the District and Victoria lines, but the rest of it would be bits and pieces.

@TCX757Pilot 7 лет назад

Hey Geoff, I'd just like to ask about Kings Cross and the 3-Letter code. In this video you stated it to be KXX, now, the national rail station uses KGX, so is this a different code for the LU station (in which case, that's rather confusing!) Anyways, lovely video, like normal from you, looking forward to seeing some more!

@TurboFintan 7 лет назад

My guess is that the mainline station at King's Cross is KGX and St Pancras is STP but the underground station King's Cross St Pancras is KXX.

Trackernet 3-letter codes are made up haphazardly by the team there. There are several sets of codes on most lines. The Jubilee and Central Lines' signalling codes are actually logical, most other sets are not.
