No correct answers thus far.   These should help a bit, click either image for a larger version. |

Ok, some quite awful clues:
One is a knock out ending for Lincoln, the other just bleeding loopy!
Yeah, yeah, I know where my coat is!

I (obviously) know the answers and I don't get SE13's clues at all!

I (obviously) know the answers and I don't get SE13's clues at all! Just as I was going to say Grange Hill for the insert |

I wanted to get to bed! I have to be up early!
My lateral thinking was 'KO Lincoln' might be Queensbury, as in Marquis of Queensberry (Rules). I did think about Lincoln GREEN but that did not work. Or was it Abraham Lincoln?
As to the 'loopy', all I could come up with was Hainault (as in Hainault Loop) or Fairlop, which if you think laterally, lopping something off could cause bleeding!
Ok, I'll get my coat as well!

The main picture isn't a million miles from any of the Central Line stations suggested, but travelling to them usually requires a change.
The inset picture is neither Queensbury nor Grange Hill, nor is it on the same line as either of them.

Lincoln = Green = District : Ending = Terminus : Knock-out = KO = Kensington Olympia.

I am going to suggest that 'bloody loopy' = Barking [mad]? I am sure that the pic is a mirror (literally) image and I flipped it to see what it would/should look like, I couldn't see any further clues though.

The waiting room can't be Olympia I thought as if you study the extreme right side, through the glass you can see that there are two tracks (one 4th rail the other 3rd or 4th rail), with vegetation, a canopy and some sort of overbridge I think. As Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in Ford's Theatre (by Booth using a pistol) and as we have Lincoln Green, I am going for GREEN FORD! I have discounted GUN NERS BURY.  |

The waiting room is a station on the Central Line, but the previous guesses are closer than Greenford. The station's name is two words and it is not the only station to bear either of them. Lincoln = Green = District : Ending = Terminus : Knock-out = KO = Kensington Olympia. I can't say whether that is the way SE13 intended the clue to be deciphered or not, but the answer is correct. The inset is the OPO mirror at Kensington Olympia. |

I need to work on giving less obvious clues, because this is the westbound waiting room at South Woodford!
That concludes this one, but remember that yesterdays quiz (day 9) is still open.

The inset is the OPO mirror at Kensington Olympia. That is precisely how I worked the clue. Tenuous I know, but a bit of latteral thinking..... (Perhaps I ought to stop trying these clues!) |

Congrats..I can now get back to transcribing hand-written letters for the mag. I have had it up to here with terrible, undecipherable, handwriting!

Speaking as someone who has terrible handwriting, I know exactly what you mean!
