Okay an easy underground question. You're sitting on a tube train and looking out the window you notice that the station you're at starts with 'H'. And for the next 9 stops every station also starts with 'H'. Where did you start?

Right second time (I saw the original of "Heathrow Terminal 5" before you edited it:)).

I'd like to 'represent' my 'man dem (them)' and give a 'shout out' to the 'shit hole' that was Ponders End with a Tottenham Hale.

I have lived there and am one of very few survivors.

The furthest distance (in miles) you can travel on the tube without changing lines.

As a bonus point the furthest you can travel on a single line without seeing daylight.

The central line end to end covers 34 miles.

Just underground it's a journey on the northern covering 17 miles.

Must mentioning that most of the underground isn't.
