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.

Just because Colin is on a beach doesn't give the rest of you a licence for time off from guessing!
No guesses = no clues.

Correct, but given this is a quote, we. Ant control how others use them! I am sorry that I do not understand this response. Perhaps I am out of touch? Mea culpa, I made a typographical error which I did not notice in my haste to write a reply. I've now edited my original post, but not your quote of it as otherwise your post would not make any sense.

PLU I thought we had done away with using unqualified initials which are meaningless to some readers Correct, but given this is a quote, we can't control how others use them!

Admin response
It depends on what conditions TfL have attached to the images, though if they have been released in response to an FoI request I can't imagine that they are "controlled" images so are fine to post.

One of the examples I posted above doesn't have independent handrails, so whilst it might not be permitted for new installations it must be for existing ones.

Folks, I've tweaked a few posts just now; this forum does not give vandals the oxygen of publicity. It is vandalism, we shouldn't use any other word.
