They currently have until 22.00 the night before. Have been using that notice period for years Network Rail can't, it's the operators that can cancel this late and not be penalised. A practice that is (AUIU) currently being frowned upon by ORR.

GB generally is possibly even a minority in having only red / yellow / green white lamp colours, quite a lot have one more, blue or purple or some shade in between blue and purple. Blue has been used in Britain on the mainline network for a little while now, RETB areas use a flashing blue to indicate that the TPWS loops are de-energised.

Is B between Golders Green & Hampstead? Nope, the trains on this line wouldn't fit in those tunnels! Does this help? (click/tap for a larger version) A has a strong Ruislip end of the central line feel… is the link to do with depots? Wrong line, but at least this time the trains are more likely to fit. The link is unrelated to depots. A Between 0akwood and Cockfosters Now we are getting closer, but not there yet. Try this: (click/tap for a larger version)

Good morning Quizzers! trainwizard The photos were working for me at about 2am and are working for me now, so any issues were temporary and/or at your end. Pictures were also not working for me this AM on this and other quiz posts. I briefly looked in earlier and saw the images weren't working, I wasn going to message Chris M, but I got distracted by a wolf from the moon (seriously). They're all back up now, must have been an issue with the quiz server which (IIRC) is provided for free.

A little jet lagged, are we? Not jet lagged, it’s only a little over three hour flight for me to get home. But maybe a little hungover. The benefits of heading south for a holiday vacation rather than east or west! Any guesses though?

Deja vu. Are we in the matrix? I swear I've seen this somewhere before Indeed, Colin and I posted pretty much at the same time and I've only just discovered it now, too late to delete so the other thread is locked. Anybody have any guesses?

Indeed. Colin and I posted simultaneously. I'll lock this rather than deleting so that comments in the other thread make sense.

Inset 1 looks like Tottenham Hale. Inset 1: Tottenham Hale NR - Platforms 3 and 4 [ Dom K] (click for a larger version) Inset 2 looks like a funicular or an inclined lift. Yes, but you'll need to be a little more specific. I inset 2 the Lynmouth Railway? Nope, see if this helps: (click for a larger version) Also why does Inset 3 contain insets 1+2? Because otherwise you'd be able to see the name of the place!

Answer: Main photo: Royal Albert - westbound platform in April 2011 [Chris M] (Click/Tap bigify, you know the drill) Any thoughts on the background, there is a clue version but given that nobody has even tried yet I'm reluctant to let you see it.

Except the doorway doesn't open. The doors open. "Set(s) of doors" is probably the best way option if your going to be pedantic.

The two identified locations are both "South x"; the other two are not though.
You can link all the locations with one word though, if you are brief.
