2017 Christmas bonus crossword quiz Dec 8, 2017 10:52:46 GMT superteacher and londonstuff like this

For those unable to come to the meet tomorrow, you can still play along online in this thread. The answer grid is live now, but you wont be able to see the pictures until 2pm tomorrow (Saturday) - there will be no automatic update of this thread and you might need to reload the page before you see them. Answers will be given at some point on Sunday or Monday (I have another Christmas meet on Sunday).

Fill in the crossword grid below using these images of stations which appear on the current tube map as the clues.
Notes:

Multiple-word station names may form more than one clue. Splits occur only at word boundaries.
Punctuation (hyphens, apostrophes, etc) is ignored.
If it appears, “Saint” is always “St”.
If it appears, “and” is always “and” never “&”
Bonus: re-arrange the highlighted letters to form the names of three stations.
The only modifications made to the images are to hide text/signs that are too much of a giveaway such as station names and signal numbers. + next to the question number indicates a modified image, - indicates an unmodified image.

Don't fret, our table had about seven incorrect guesses before cso came up with the correct three!

I like the way you have set them up as links in the above post. Are you going to publish the crossword solution (perhaps also as a link)?

I really enjoyed doing this, despite initial misgivings. I was able to identify only about three of the locations straight off, but with a few letters in place (and the TFL diagram open in front of me) the rest started to fall into place. Many, many thanks for the hard work which went into compiling it.
