This is a few days later than I was planning, but here is a bit of fun for a bonus quiz for Christmas 2020. I'm the only person with the answers, so rincew1nd and Colin D can join in the fun if they wish. Identify these locations - if you can! All locations are on-topic for the quiz but I'm not sure how many (if any) are actually identifiable from the photographs. All images are unmodified so there are no clue versions available. There may be multiple photographs from the same location, and frequency or recency of appearance in the main quiz has no bearing on appearance here. I encourage you to share any thinking you have about where a photo might be of (it might help someone else) but please don't just make wild guesses that's no fun for anyone - explain why you think it is where you think it is. Any correct answers will be noted after about 24 hours, answers to any unidentified locations will be given in about a week or when it's clear everyone has stopped guessing, whichever is later. 01  (click for a larger version) 02  (click for a larger version) 03  (click for a larger version) 04  (click for a larger version) 05  (click for a larger version) 06  (click for a larger version) 07  (click for a larger version) 08  (click for a larger version) 09  (click for a larger version) 10  (click for a larger version) 11  (click for a larger version) 12  (click for a larger version) 13  (click for a larger version) 14  (click for a larger version) 15  (click for a larger version) 16  (click for a larger version) 17  (click for a larger version) 18  (click for a larger version) 19  (click for a larger version) 20  (click for a larger version) 21  (click for a larger version) 22  (click for a larger version) 23  (click for a larger version) 24  (click for a larger version) 25  (click for a larger version) 26  (click for a larger version) 27  (click for a larger version) 28  (click for a larger version) 29  (click for a larger version) 30  (click for a larger version) |

Is 11 Aldgate East? Seems about right for colour and detail.

25 is King’s Cross, I’d recognise that awful faux mosaic anywhere

West Ham for 21? Very modern looking brick is my thinking.

8 I feel like is on the JLE, guiding customers to points where they can have step free egress at stations further north. I'm going to suggest Westminster.
17 looks like building work "boxing in" a line - so I'm going to suggest between Bank and Shadwell on the DLR as it's somewhere with tall buildings near by for that vantage point.

8 is Heathrow T2&3, 9 could be Whitechapel, 15 reminds me of Paddington (B,C&D), 22 looks like Liverpool Street, 27 might be Earl's Court mid-refurb and 29 is Westminster?

It’s not Westminster as due to the platform edge doors it hasn’t got the bumps (don’t know the correct term). It could be Canning Town, West Ham or Stratford. Another place theses stickers are located are the Heathrow terminals. |

07 is the residence of beingcharley, based on the signal plate. Spot on: 07 Bush Hill Park and OZ 4B signs at MoreToJack's flat 8 I feel like is on the JLE, guiding customers to points where they can have step free egress at stations further north. I'm going to suggest Westminster. It’s not Westminster as due to the platform edge doors it hasn’t got the bumps (don’t know the correct term). It could be Canning Town, West Ham or Stratford. Another place theses stickers are located are the Heathrow terminals. 08 Heathrow Terminal 4 (LU) - Do not board here This is a H&C station but it isn't Whitechapel Is 11 Aldgate East? Seems about right for colour and detail. 11 Aldgate East - tiles on seat on westbound platform 15 looks a bit like Paddington to me. 15 reminds me of Paddington (B,C&D) The corridor at Paddington you are both thinking of is keep right so the arrows would be the other way round. This is a different LU/NR interchange station. 17 looks like building work "boxing in" a line - so I'm going to suggest between Bank and Shadwell on the DLR as it's somewhere with tall buildings near by for that vantage point. This is in east London and there are plenty of tall buildings around, but this was taken from street level. Is 19 Chigwell, the Hainaut Rd end of the platforms? You're in the right quadrant of London, but this is a London Overground station. West Ham for 21? Very modern looking brick is my thinking. 21 West Ham - east end of eastbound Jubilee line platform 22 looks like Liverpool Street 22 Liverpool Street (LU) - hoarding gap on outer rail platform 25 is King’s Cross, I’d recognise that awful faux mosaic anywhere 25 King's Cross St. Pancras - sign written by a calligrapher 27 might be Earl's Court mid-refurb This is an SSR station that was undergoing work at the time of the photograph, but it's not Earl's Court 29 Westminster - eastbound SSR platform |

17 - reminds me of Canary Wharf Crossrail box under construction. There's a reason for that: 17 Canary Wharf Crossrail - view from Upper Bank Street in October 2011 |

2 - going to say North Ealing or maybe on Rayners Lane Branch as Surface stock has to operate over sometimes restricted clearances, although their are I suspect numerous of these plates (as were produced by the track workshop at Lille bridge)
