Poplar is not a London Undergrouynd station. It is on the DLR.

I have responded to questions in the past headed "London Underground Stations" where the answers were not stations on the Underground system. The response was that the stations are shown on the maps of the Tube/Overground/DLR systems displayed in Underground stations. Not quite the same thing.

I have found in the past that "cryptic" clues can sometimes be a bit silly but at least the compilers should get the heading correct under which their clues are set.

Ah, ignore mine then

Of course it's Poplar! Most people consider DLR part of the tube system, right or wrong.

Thank you for your answers. Can't decide whether to give best answer for poplar to scorpiojo, or to jackdaw for Wyvern,(vauxhall) because I would never have got either of those.If you are going to be pedantic, I didn't get the Heathrow answer, because on my map it is marked according to Terminals1,2,3,0r 4 or 5, so could be considered as more than 8 letters,but I'm not joining any more arguments there, just content to finish the quiz. thanks.

Wrong then, Quizmonkey.

The Docklands Light Railway is a completely separate entity to the London Underground. It shares no history with it, shares no lines, staff or stock with it, is run in a completely different fashion by completely different means. It is classified as a "Light Railway" (which London Underground Lines are not). It is run under a concession from TfL by Keolis and Amey plc. The London Underground is operated directly by TfL and that body makes no asumptions that the DLR is part of the London Underground. The only similarity between the two systems is that both provide trains for passengers.

I have used the London Underground extensively for more years than I care to remember and nobody I know considers the DLR to be part of the London Underground. Nor do they consider the London Overground to be part of it. They are separate systems that happen to appear on the same map for convenience sake.

More pertinent for the sake of this question is that stations on these other systems are not "Underground" stations in any sense of the word (other than some of them might be situated under the ground) and to compile a quiz where the answers are supposed to be "London Underground Stations" is simply confusing.
