Following the same format as September's bonus quiz, there are 30 single part questions below. Three will be released every half hour from 1pm (assuming the technology works), until then the images will not display here. The thread will not be automatically updated when the images are released, so you will have to remember to look and may have to reload the page. The answers will be given in person at the meet when the images are identified, but will not be given online until at least the later of 00:01 Sunday and when they are individually identified (it depends when I am online!). 10 of the images have been modified, either to remove station names or make them trickier (I've tried to have a range of both difficulty and geographical spread, but they are presented in a random order), the unmodified versions will not be posted before they have been identified, regardless of the reason for modification. All the stations used are currently served by at least one TfL train (Underground, Overground, TfL Rail, DLR) a day (excluding engineering works). Finally, I am the only person who knows the answer so rincew1nd and Colin D can join in if they wish. 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) |

No it isn't. A bit late to the party, but I think 6 is Hampstead Not too late at all, but number 6 isn't Hampstead 11 Canarey Wharf? 19, I'm 99% sure is Westminster, 26 Kings X? 11 is Canary Wharf Jubilee - way out from platform level  (click for a larger version) 19 is Westminster - Emergency exit for able-bodied people only (the image above is not modified) 26 isn't King's Cross 7 is Manor Park 10 - Seven Sisters Overground? 13 - Harrow & Wealdstone? 23 is Highbury & Islington 25 is Chiswick Park Agree with @spinba11 26 is Kings Cross 10 is Seven Sisters - stay left signs on southbound LO platform. This one proved a lot trickier in the pub than I expected.  (click for a larger version) 13 is not Harrow & Wealdstone 23 is Highbury and Islington - lift from ticket hall to westbound NLL and northern ELL platform (the image above is not modified) 25 is Chiswick Park - heritage sign  (click for a larger version) 26 still isn't King's Cross. 12 must be the old Chesham Shuttle bay at Chalfont & Latimer. The two indicators being the tripcock testers. 12 is indeed the two tripcock testers for the Chesham Shuttle bay at Chalfont & Latimer (the image above is not modified) Yesterday, 15, 02, and 20 proved the easiest and 05, 04, and 01 the hardest. |

15 tastes like Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3. The queen opened the Heathrow extension on that day in 1977.
09 could be Hammersmith (District).

29 is Edgware Road (Circle and District lines) - door to signal cabin by peak time exit (the image above is unmodified) 15 tastes like Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3. The queen opened the Heathrow extension on that day in 1977. 09 could be Hammersmith (District). 15 is Heathrow Terminals 123 - plaque in ticket hall. I can't comment about the taste though.  (click for a larger version) 09 is not Hammersmith (District and Piccadilly lines). |

No 25 - what name has been patched over with "Tower Hill". Surely not Mark Lane? (The tube map archive suggests the name change was some time between 1945 and 1948, around the time the Circle made its first tentative independent appearance www.clarksbury.com/cdl/maps/tube48.jpg |

Apologies to Chris M and all you quizaholics, the bonus quiz 2015 Christmas social completely went off the radar when I was doing the updates. For those of you interested the following locations (by number) have yet to be identified: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 26, 27, 28, and 30.That should be enough to keep you busy for a while.  |

Can we ask for clues, if so, is the platform the photo is taken on step free to train?
Another guess Green Park?

You can ask for clues, but I'm not going to necessarily give the answer if it's too obvious.
In this case, the answer is yes.

I find it disappointing that there hasn't been more guesses on the quiz.

Assuming you are still talking about 26, yes:  (click for a larger version) Let's try Acton Town (the museum) for 4 and Goodge Street for 6. 4 is not the museum. All locations are stations that appear on the May tube map (the one that was current at the time of the meet). 6 is more than one stop to an interchange shown on the map, and thus not Goodge Street. |
