Do you good people want me to run the quiz again in April or would you rather it took a break? Answers by 11pm on Friday 30th please.
Regardless of whether it runs in April or not I will not be running a quiz in May for personal reasons, but I do have enough material for it to continue again later in the year if people want it.
Also if you have any photos you would like included in this quiz then email them to me (my address is in my profile). If you want them in the April quiz (if people want it) then get them to me my Wednesday evening please, but I'll take them for future months any time. Also let me know whether or not you want to be credited as the photographer when I give the answer (if you don't say, I will assume you do want crediting).

apologies  I reckon a break as it will be Easter and people on holiday as well as having a quiz for all these months running will just not make it particularly special. |

Chris:
I've been absent for 25 years and I'm 3,000 miles away from London; believe me, nostalgia is what it used to be!
I'm enjoying reading every bit of these quizzes, and I appreciate the amount of work you've been putting into them. I think it's your choice when to run them - beware of burning yourself out, and take a break when you need to.

Keep it going.
I've been exciled for 24 years, and some of the pics really bend my mind. Good fun, so keep it going.

Like eeyore I've been away for a long time, 30 years for me, and seeing the pictures you post brings back a lot of good memories. It's fun trying to figure out the different locations, most of which I can't recognise until the anwser is posted. So my vote is keep it going Chris, and lets hope you don't run out of pics.

26 years for me since I left.
I say keep the quiz going, I'm learning things I never knew about the London Underground.
How you guys can ID some of the shots is beyond me, especially some of those station photos.
Edit: Lets see how good you guys are, where was the photo in my avatar taken? (Actually with the guys on this board I would be surprised if someone didn't get it in the first few posts!) To make it harder I will not enlarge it (ain't I a stinker!)

I know this is a little early than I said, but as the outcome is already clear there isn't much point in leaving it another 12 hours to announce that I will be running the quiz in April.

I bow my head in respect to you Aspect and Colin! |

another thing that could make the quiz more difficult/varied,
how about using old photos of the tube so they have to be dated and it would make it harder to find out, I don't how difficult it would be to source photos that are older, and whether they would be previously unpublished, but it could make it more interesting.

Indeed the problem with that is sourcing. I'm using mostly my photos, and those of a couple of other people who've sent me them, as I don't have any way of getting older ones.
The oldest ones of mine that I used for the quiz are from the back end of last year.
