I was surprised to learn that there are currently 268 tube stations in London( place must be bigger than I thought ;D) and as we have a number of members who live in or around London, I decided to set a little brain teaser for you. While checking out all the stations on the old Internet, I was further surprised to learn a good number of stations have been closed down over the years and I found this great site that has many pictures of the old and disused tube stations. www.abandonedstations.org.uk/Anyway back to the brain teaser, as I said there are 268 tube stations in London and only two of them use all the five vowels in their name , so which ones are they? |

I won't spoil it for others, but I enjoyed solving this one a liitle while ago.
Was a bit rusty at the time, as I very rarely use the tube nowadays, a bicycle is quicker, healthier and less frustrating...and night buses are there for when i'm drunk (by which time the tube is invariably shut ;D )
