London Underground (Tube) Stations

[markwh]

I have a quiz question where you have to supply the next 2 in the sequence. The sequence is;

Charing Cross, Tottenham Court Road, Goodge Street, Warren Street

The obvious answer would be Euston, Mornington Crescent as the next 2 stations on the Northern Line.

My concern is the omission of Leicester Square in the original list. Can anyone think of a reason for this omission which might change my proposed answer?

I am loath to think that the question setter has made a mistake (it's too obvious for this).

No - it could be an error, quiz/xword compilers are not infallible, as many ABers would attest.

My only other suggestion is to ask Samantha..

I can think of a tenuous reason.

The A400 runs north from Trafalgar Square. All the places/streets mentioned are on or join the A400. Leicester Square isn't - the station is, but the Square is a little to the east if I'm reading my ABC correctly.

This would make the next two Mornington Crescent and Camden Town - Euston being well off route.

Asking Samantha would invoke the Abercrombie paradox which is disallowed.

Maybe Leicester Square is In Nip??
