I think DD is leading up the garden path - a bit of Googling shows two stations with all five vowels but neither of them are in order

AlexAshman Posted Feb 16, 2005
What are the stations? I don't think that DD wanted the vowels in order...

Sorry, that's the wrong entry - I meant this one A673517. Sadly U187964 hasn't posted for about eighteen months 
I think she might have sent me a link for downloading the London Underground Johnston font which I now have installed on PC

The 'Way Out' map seems a good idea, except for the fact that I have all the important stations memorised...

Whoops I do apologies for leading you path I knew I was looking for Mansion House didn't realise there was a second one. But there you go. I'm still not counting Heathrow Terminal Four though.

Huh? I got tired of trying to work it out and looked at a tube map and found the station...with all the vowels in order.

Caledonian Road And Barnsbury?
Or am I missing something?

I'm not sure if it's a tube station or not, but it still has trick question potential if the question asked is
"What station on the tube map has all the vowels in correct order?"
