Full house! Answer: Location A: Bounds Green - south end of northbound [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location B: 315817 Transport for London arriving into Cheshunt [Chris M] (click for a larger version) No guesses as to what's special about today though, you're going to have to engage in some real blue-sky thinking to get it.

Full house! Answer: Location A: Bounds Green - south end of northbound [Chris M] Surely it's the north end of the northbound or the south end of the southbound.

There are Northbound and Southbound platforms at Bounds Green hounddog. Both platforms have north and south tunnel mouth ends or else the trains couldn't get out........

I think I understand what hounddog (welcome BTW) means, Bounds Green has a centre platform, so with the line on your left you are either facing north on the northbound or south on the southbound. If that was the south end of the northbound then the platform/line would be reversed, making at excellent Quiz question, but a less-good answer

In addition the monitor and signal indicate we're at the driver's end of the platform.

To clarify, the OPO equipment and which platform it is nothing to do with the bonus.

Lines through both stations opened in September (not the station itself in the case of Cheshunt)

Nope, like I said, "blue-sky" thinking on this one!

Full house! Answer: Location A: Bounds Green - south end of northbound [Chris M] Surely it's the north end of the northbound or the south end of the southbound. Possibly. I took this photograph on 6 July 2009 and would have named it shortly afterwards - getting my norths and souths mixed up is entirely possible. I can't remember at this distance anything other than what I labelled it, and I'm not familiar enough with the station to recognise the different ends. I guess I'm more likely to have got the platform correct than the end of it, but that is guess.

Bonus question, what is special about today's post. Quick reminder that the bonus is still up for grabs, if it helps it's not a question set by Chris M but Colin D!
