[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 36047, member: 250"] You need three wires e.g. 3core+E between each pair of two-way switches (excluding the earth wire!) and two wires e.g. twin+E from one end of the 2-way to the light fitting, (assuming the power is looped at the light fitting.) If you want FULL two way switching with a double gang two-way switch in the hall and another double gang two-way switch on the landing There will be two 3-core+e between the switches, and a Twin+E from landing light to upstairs switch. and a Twin+E from hall light to downstairs switch. So again assuming power is looped in and out at the ceiling roses with all of the above cables pulled in you can have two completely independent pairs of two-way switching on on the downstairs & one on the upstairs light circuits.
