The server that hosts the quiz is currently offline for an upgrade that appears to be taking longer than planned. This means the quiz is not available and I wont be able to upload tomorrow's quiz until it returns (which may or may not be before I go to bed - I don't have any information). Sorry for any inconvenience, but it's out of my control.

A isn't Romford, but I can see why you think that. This version may help. (click for a larger version) Inset A: Newcastle - High Level Bridge [ howda62] (click for a larger version) No attempts at location B, but you do have the background: Background B: Mail Rail tracks [ londonstuff] (click for a larger version) Tom gets points for C: Location C: Between Hanwell and Southall - Road-rail access point east of Southall [Chris M] (click for a larger version) No attempts at location D, its inset, the link or the odd one out

B is indeed Shadwell (ELL). I'll post the unmodified version when I'm back on my computer

Is the link to do with the stations beginning with 'Sh' except for location C?

Is the link to do with the stations beginning with 'Sh' except for location C? With C being chosen as it's between stations beginning with S and H. I'm not sure what that makes D though...

Ah of course! Didn't think of that. The only other 'Sh' stations I can think of are: Shepherds Bush (Central Line) Shepherds Bush (LO) Shepherds Bush Market Shepherds Bush Market is the only one of the three that I've never been to so I'm going to go with that one for D?

Location B: Shadwell (ELL) - top of stairs from southbound platform to lower lift lobby [Chris M] (click for a larger version) You are mostly correct with the link, C is the odd one out and that is why that location was chosen. D is not any of the Shepherd's Bush stations

I think I've worked it all out but this has led me to believe the location D may potentially be my photo.

Post by xplaistow on Nov 19, 2018 9:36:33 GMT
Well, the only other location on the Tube map beginning with 'Sh' is Shoreditch.

D is neither Shoreditch nor Shoeburyness (it is a TfL station) B has already been identified as Shadwell (ELL) and the background as Mail Rail. ducatisti I very often don't know when I'm going to bed - the Internet often happens!

the dangers of replying to earlier posts... I hadn't seen the Shadwell post.

At least you didn't guess the location and get it wrong - more than one person has done that!

I've just had an idea for D. Instead of "Sh___" it might actually be "S___ H___" in which case I'm going to guess Stamford Hill.
