#2Nice! It would be fun to include some of the other sounds on the tube like the door closing chimes or the sounds the doors make when opening and closing.

#3Incredible fun. I got every one wrong except the line I live on and use all the time. I couldn't tell any of the others apart much, but I knew my line instantly, without any doubt. Fascinating.

#4Enjoyed that. Not lived in London for 30 years, but some sounds never leave you...
I got 5/9 on the Tube Sound Quiz!
(better than random!)

#5Loved this!
A bit deep to put district and circle as options on the same question. Don’t they use the same rolling stock and cover very similar stations?
I found Bakerloo was the easiest to identify.

#6I got 6 out of 9 and haven’t lived there in 10 years. Felt some nostalgia hearing some of them though!!!

I got 6/9 and I've never been there.

Jubilee I found pretty easy too

The Bakerloo sounds are indeed pretty distinctive (I lived near Kilburn Park for a while and knew it well!). But I think the easiest of all is the Jubilee line. Those melodic sounds from the traction motors that rapidly change pitch when accelerating/decelerating are so distinctive and unique.

#10Elizabeth is the only one I use frequently so I got them mostly wrong.
