London Train Station Quiz

[TerryFrancis]

A pub in my area has created a quiz in which you have to establish the names of 120 of London’s 318 train/tube stations via the clues given. No station can be used more than once. So far I have managed to solve all but ten of them. Any help with the remaining ones would be most appreciated.

25. Ollie in a curve! (6, 4)
Remaining stations: Camden Road, Camden Town, Canons Park, Devons Road, Dollis Hill, Grange Hill, Kensal Rise, Marble Arch, Queens Park (I think the answer is ‘Marble Arch’ because of the curve part of the clue, it’s the relevance of Ollie that is stumping me).

35. Gray and Lincoln are in here. (7)
Remaining stations: Archway, Beckton, Borough, Chesham, Chigwell, Fairlop, Holborn, Neasden, Oakwood, Wapping.

63. Bill Baker built here. (5, 6)
Remaining stations: Baker Street, North Ealing, North Harrow, Royal Albert, South Ealing, South Harrow, South Kenton.

Is 'ollie' a slang word for a marble? Do kids still play marbles?

[grasscarp]

109 wonder if this could be Fairlop (I was thinking of lop being Pol backwards and there was Pol Pot, or is that too complicated).

[grasscarp]

111 Loughton

[wiltsman]

I agree, 'Ollie in a Curve' is Marble Arch. Round these parts a marble is called an Alley, but sandyRoe says he knows a marble as an Ollie, so it has to be Marble Arch.

[Jules001]

An ollie is a skateboard move so agree Marble Arch would fit

[quinie]

Yes,sandyRoe,ollie is a word for a marble and no haven't seen children playing marbles for years.There was a season for marbles when I was young! We kept them in an old sock if we didn't have a bag.Skipping too seems to have gone out of fashion.

[grasscarp]

well if marbles come back in fashion, I have quite a few in the cupboard. I havent lost my marbles!

[quinie]

Lucky you,grasscarpThink sometimes I'm beginning to lose mine! I have an old skipping rope but don't think I've the energy to skip! Sorry for hi-jacking the thread.
