Competitions


Talks aimed at averting a 48-hour Tube strike have broken down

Test your Tube knowledge

Our competition to identify the underground stations on this page to win a family day out at the London Transport Museum, courtesy of News Shopper and Transport for London, has finished.

The picture quiz testing people's knowledge of the Tube proved to be very popular, with nearly 350 entries coming in.

Many people managed to name at least eight of the stations but getting all 10 right from looking at the photos and clues was elusive for most, with only a small number of 100 per cent correct answers being submitted.

The five winners drawn from the entries which identified all the stations correctly are: Christopher Dodd, Eltham; Stuart McTeer, Bexley; Glen Rollings, Bermondsey; Thomas Wood, Carshalton; Ed Callow, New Ash Green. They will each receive two adult tickets to the museum in Covent Garden.
