Hmm, no wonder I couldnt find the croydon one, I googled the question, found the answer, and found the station STILL exists. :huh:

Just it&#39;s got a different name.

Actually, it&#39;s had 3 different names before the current, and is also a mainline station.

Oh, you may need a 1968 map to catch it, too.

What this Quiz has done is make me look in detail at the newer line developments of the Tube Map: Who on earth decided that Mudchute would be a nice name for a Tube station? :blink: :P

Is "Channel crossing" Westferry? (I mean, it is for all those French people...)
