As noted in the main thread about the meet, this quiz is different to previous bonuses. There are 30 questions in all, each a single part unmodified* image of a sign somewhere at a station currently served by one or more TfL lines or services. I anticipate that some will be more difficult than others, but they are arranged in a mostly random order not by difficulty. Starting at 1pm, three questions will be released every half hour (automatically if I have done the scheduling right) so before each time arrives you will not see the images (you may see broken links though). This thread will not show as updated unless someone posts in it (the release mechanism is that the file permissions on the server get changed from private to public) so please use this thread for your guesses. I will reveal the answers at some point on Sunday, depending when I get time. rincew1nd and Colin D have not seen the answers. 01 - 1:00pm  (click for a larger version) 02 - 1:00pm  (click for a larger version) 03 - 1:00pm  (click for a larger version) 04 - 1:30pm  (click for a larger version) 05 - 1:30pm  (click for a larger version) 06 - 1:30pm  (click for a larger version) 07 - 2:00pm  (click for a larger version) 08 - 2:00pm  (click for a larger version) 09 - 2:00pm  (click for a larger version) 10 - 2:30pm  (click for a larger version) 11 - 2:30pm  (click for a larger version) 12 - 2:30pm  (click for a larger version) 13 - 3:00pm  (click for a larger version) 14 - 3:00pm  (click for a larger version) 15 - 3:00pm  (click for a larger version) 16 - 3:30pm  (click for a larger version) 17 - 3:30pm  (click for a larger version) 18 - 3:30pm  (click for a larger version) 19 - 4:00pm  (click for a larger version) 20 - 4:00pm  (click for a larger version) 21 - 4:00pm  (click for a larger version) 22 - 4:30pm  (click for a larger version) 23 - 4:30pm  (click for a larger version) 24 - 4:30pm  (click for a larger version) 25 - 5:00pm  (click for a larger version) 26 - 5:00pm  (click for a larger version) 27 - 5:00pm  (click for a larger version) 28 - 5:30pm  (click for a larger version) 29 - 5:30pm  (click for a larger version) 30 - 5:30pm  (click for a larger version) |

29 - Kilburn?
27 - is it Mornington Crescent? (and does that mean I've won?)
25 - Hounslow West?
23 - Hackney Wick - not sure about this as you have to subtract the name of a borough to get the NR station:
EDIT no, it's Sudbury Hill
