Underground Movement with hint - 05/02/13 06:06 PM

Came across this filed under "To be recycled when eveyone's forgotten about it" . It first saw the light of day in 2006, so hopefully you'll have forgotten the answers by now.

How well do you know the London Underground? Figure out the following Underground stations from the clues given (including a few devious ones grin ). If you’re unfortunate enough not to have been born in the UK, or are not that familiar with the Underground, feel free to Google "List of London Underground stations"

Plenty to go around, so take 2 or 3.

-1. Was bad news for Napoleon
-2. Shrubbery for the herdsman?
-3. Royal route
