Have just received answers to the Underground Station Quiz re Is Nick in this park (7,6)
The setter has apologized for the error the answer was meant to be Parson's Green so all answers have been marked as correct.
Thanks to help from all of you I am the happy Winner (luck of the draw), but nevertheless a lovely surprise.

Hi Puzzled - I'm delighted you have had a win! Don't mind TonyW but to a certain extent I think he has a point. Many (but be no means all) of the quizzes that appear on here are practically unsolvable by anyone other than the setter and I just wish setters would test them out on friends before inflicting them on the public who are buying them for charity (I hope!) I'm sure many of the people asking for help here have no idea how much time and effort (and enjoyment!)
goes into trying to help people who often dump 10 queries and disappear for a couple of days instead of getting the map out or rsearching the many lists on Google. The setter should have asked someone else to check the accuracy of his/her quiz.
Cheers Julie - surrounded by maps of Cumbria and enjoying it.

I don't understand, tonyw. Why is it shame on Puzzled when Puzzled has just told us the answer and the setter's mistake?

I am very sorry that I have upset a few people.
It was not my intention to be so rude.
But I think if you all looked at the original thread(and I can't find it either) you will see that we spent a lot of time on this question.
Once again,sincere apologies!
