Shoreditch (pre-closure) or Farringdon
Most likely wrong, but if I answer Shoreditch for each and every question then the statistics suggest I should get it right eventually.

Shoreditch (pre-closure) or Farringdon Most likely wrong, but if I answer Shoreditch for each and every question then the statistics suggest I should get it right eventually. However the questions are not set by a random number generator and Chris M sets the answers up to four weeks in advance (he usually provides the junior quiz team with the question a few days before). So, for example, it could be that "Shoreditch" is not going to be the correct answer for over a year now. When you consider that I've just sent Chris a batch of pictures, none of which are Shoreditch, it decreases the likelihood of it appearing even further. Chris can even change the questions ad hoc so whilst I can say now that as it seems to me Shoreditch (neither of them) is not an answer this month, tomorrow when I look it might transpire that Shoreditch is the answer for the rest of the month! The question is only set in stone once it has been posted, but yes, answering Shoreditch will mean that you might get it right eventually, though it depends if you're still a member (or the forum still exists)[*] in fifty years! [*]Remember, Dave once managed to delete the entire forum by mistake and it was only through good fortune and Chris W's computer cache that we managed to get it all back! I'm sure the current Admin Team have arrangements in place to make sure it doesn't happen again in the same manner, but at the end of the day the "delete" button still exists. |

On average current stations appear 1.1 times a year, other locations (including closed stations) generally appear less frequently than that. Shoreditch last appeared in April.
Some locations suffer from a lack of easy to get pictures, for example I have only 2 photos left of the original South Quay station - unless someone sends me some more then once I've used them that's it and it wont appear again. As the station building for Shoreditch still exists I have more photos of that location (6 currently in stock) but the same holds true.
