There is a question set for today, but as we're in Maintainance Mode and only staff can access the forum I don't see the point in 'wasting' the question.
If all the work is finished early on, then it will appear here!

That's because there isn't anything to see! I ran the quiz on the test forum, and that thread is reproduced below. I advertised this on my facebook page and tagged several forum members who I have as friends there to try and get it into people's news feeds. If I had thought about it far enough in advance (i.e. before I saw this forum had been placed in maintenance mode) then I might have been able to think of other avenues. Sorry. There were two guesses: Tiling - Vauxhall Picture - Wimbledon looking over SWT platforms [/quote] The tiling is at Vauxhall, so Astock5000 gets those points. Specifically, it's a closeup of the platform motif. The background picture is not Wimbledon though, so here is a clue version: There were no attempts at why Vauxhall was chosen for 16 February.

Nope, you can't get direct from Battersea Park to this station.

Is the background not also Vauxhall? When you said it was a single part question I assumed that Astock's answer of Vauxhall would cover both the main and background.

The background is indeed Vauxhall mainline, seen here in March 2008 (click for a larger version) A "single part question" means that there is only one version of the question picture posted on the day of the quiz. Mutlipart questions were common in the early days of the quiz, whereas clue versions on the following day are much more common these days (and you don't get to see the ones you don't need). Multipart questions are the norm for the bonuses at meets though still though. For those that like statistics: | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | Multi-part questions | 77 | 45 | 31 | 10 | 2 | 1 | Questions with clue versions | 0 | 19 | 104 | 123 | 129 | 163 |

So just to clarify, if the background/ inset and main is of the same question, we still have to answer twice?

As the only bonus mentioned was why the station was chosen, and the background (which I actually worked out was Vauxhall before I even noticed the tiling) was at the same station, isn't the background part of the main 'question'?

No, because Vauxhall mainline and Vauxhall tube are different stations (the former is not on topic, the latter is). I don't normally mention backgrounds/insets as bonuses - do you want me to start doing so?

Perhaps it would make things easier, it's just previously you've given us two photos for one location and on this occasion despite them being two stations they are both named the same and are in the same location so it's easy to assume you've done that again.
