If they do (I can't remember about Chorleywood off the top of my head, and I've never seen more than one side open at Hoxton) then that is coincidental. You could be a lot further from the answer though.

Would the Quiz Master himself take a look at my answers and give their opinion?

Would the Quiz Master himself take a look at my answers and give their opinion? Not the Quizmaster, you did get D after Melikepie . You're guess for the link is not the right answer, we don't always comment on answers that are not correct. Having said that we do on occasion miss a correct answer, but usually another Quiz team member will pick up on a mistake and correct the error at some point. Hope this helps Colin D |

Just because someone doesn't acknowledge each of your answers directly it doesn't mean it hasn't been seen. Asking ChrisM to look again at your answers when two quiz staff have already commented on some of the correct answers smacks a bit of throwing your toys out of the pram, no? Don't forget that they do this from their own time for the enjoyment of members and that comments like that won't exactly go down well.
It's meant to be a bit of fun. |

Occasionally guesses do get overlooked - we are only human. If you think this has happened, you can politely draw our attention to it but the team have access to the answers the same as I do, so if one of them has already commented I'm not going to be saying anything different, especially after the answers have been given.
Over the years I've put a lot of my own time and money (travelling to take the photos) into producing this quiz, and I take nothing from it other than other people's enjoyment. Demanding things tends not to encourage me to keep on doing it.

And can I put on record, Chris, the Forum Staff's ongoing gratitude for the time and effort you put in as well as the other forum members who help you. I look forward to buying you a drink at Christmas.

To say nothing of the artistic ambience and beauty Chris consistently finds in everyday and unconsidered views and objects. The camera can't do that for you, only the photographer's skill can. I'm lucky enough to be married to someone with that same ability, so I know it when I see it in others. As the forum is doubly blessed-better make his a double! |

I'm wondering if the presence of ramps/lifts in the photos is anything to do with the link.

I can't remember whether that was deliberate or not, but keep thinking along those lines.

...from platform to street. I'm pretty sure the Northern & Met platforms do not line up with trains, do they?
