Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which London station, which has both mainline and underground stations, gave its name to a bear in a famous series of childrens books?

Answer: Paddington Station

Paddington Bear, a character in the Michael Bond books, is named after Paddington Station. His favourite food is marmalade sandwiches, and he gets into lots of trouble!

Answer: Victoria

Victoria sends trains to Gatwick airport from the mainline station, not the underground. It is a large station, and you could get the Circle Line, the District Line, or the Victoria Line to get there.

3. The mainline station is extremely large, although it is at one end of the shortest Underground line, which only consists of two stations. Which station is this?

Answer: Waterloo

Waterloo is at one end of the Waterloo and City Line, which (as the name suggests) takes commuters straight under the River Thames into the heart of the City, at Bank Station. With only two stations, it is easily the shortest Underground line.

4. Which of these London Underground stations can be found on the Jubilee Line?

Answer: Stratford

Stratford was one of the most popular places in 2012, due to the London 2012 Olympics being held there. Stratford is also home to one of the biggest shopping centres in Europe, Westfield (not the one in Shepherd's Bush).

5. What do the letters DLR stand for, in the context of the London transport system?

Answer: Docklands Light Railway

The DLR is one of the more modern train lines, and opened in 1987, linking the City with the rapidly developing commercial and residential areas in the East End and Isle of Dogs. It is fully automatic, and does not require a driver. There is always a rush to grab the seats at the front, where you would expect the driver to sit!

6. Complete the London underground station name: Oxford ______

Answer: Circus

Oxford Circus is in the main West End shopping area of London, and first opened on 30th July 1900. It is now one of the busiest stations on the network.

7. The London Underground's Northern Line opened in 1870.

Answer: False

It actually opened in 1890. There are 50 stations on the Northern Line, and 36 of them are underground. When it was first built, it was called the City & South London Railway Train.

8. What was the original name for the Bakerloo line?

Answer: Baker Street & Waterloo Railway

It celebrated its Centenary on March 10th 2006. It was first built in... you guessed it! 1906.

9. On the London Underground map, is the colour of the Hammersmith & City line green?

Answer: No

The District Line is green, while the the Hammersmith & City Line is pink. It goes from Barking to Hammersmith.

Answer: Earl's Court

The first escalator was installed in Earl's Court in 1911, between the District and Piccadilly lines.
