Transport For London Moquette

 Here we are then. Far from extensive research has enabled me toto put together a set of 20 on Transport for London Moquette. I can’t guarantee that all me answers are right cos I just don’t know anything like enough about the subject. When I did something similar for a round on the Paris Metro it brought me 4 points. Whether it will get me any at all on Monday, time will tell.
