The one in the original post seems to have a new line after it... i.e between the URL and the closing tag, there's a carriage return. Remove that, and it should work.
The link in mrfs' post is OK though.

Sorry Deep Level - I didn't spot the post about the email. It turns out you did indeed guess Ruislip Gardens first, and are ALMOST there with the second. You got the right station, just not the right car park: Location A: Loughton - entrance to staff car park [Caravelle] (click for a larger version)

I must admit, my first thought when I saw the 7 images was Baker Street, so I'm going to have to say Baker Street + 1...

Thanks, but you misunderstood what I was saying I'm awaiting confirmation as to whether I am needed at work for the afternoon (if I am not, then I can go to the pub!) and if I am, then I won't be at the pub for very long - rather than anything else!

Right, flowers first... oe get's at least one part of C correct... the answer file says 'Fuchsias and' and stops there; We were after Crystants for B, so that's right... I don't know about the tubs as they aren't in the answer file. D is a rose, and the others may be right too. Inset B: Inset: Chrysthanthemum in Chris M's parents' garden [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Inset D: Inset: Roses in Royal Victoria Gardens, North Woolwich [Chris M] (click for a larger version) The only one missing is A, which is not a Begonia, I'm afraid. bigbaddom gets station C: Station C: Tottenham Hale - potted plants above escalators from outside [Chris M] (click for a larger version) astock5000 gets Station A Station A: Parsons Green - flower pot on (westbound?) platform [Chris M] (click for a larger version) allan60 gets Station D Station D: Headstone Lane - flowers on platform [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Still to guess....- The link - Inset A's flowers (click for a larger version) - Station B (click for a larger version)

Now, before anyone jumps, I know TfL publish some of the information I'm about to talk about through their APIs...
However, the question I put is as per the subjection line: Should TfL take a leaf out of Network Rail and release more of their data openly?
For example, Network Rail publish digital, and reusable timetabling data, and things like Temporary Speed Restrictions are available as well.
What benefit is there to TfL not publishing information?
The argument is usually "the tube is a turn up and go service" but with some lines, having timetable data available could be considered a benefit - so you know the next service is going to Heathrow or Uxbridge, how long it might wait at Terminal 4, or which branch of the Met Line you're going on.
Personally, as a developer and a geek, I'd appreciate the opportunity of doing something if I wanted to... I mean, I can get Real Time data from Trackernet (as best as it works!) so why not the timetable to correlate the data too?

Noticed an old fashioned type notice at the side of the tunnel entrance at Mile End tonight that lit up with 'District Approaching' on it (Westbound Central Line platform).
Any ideas why this is there? Never noticed it before now...

I'd have thought Great Missenden - High Wycombe by train would require a lot of tunneling as I'd have thought it was too hilly to do anything else... even via Prestwood and Great Kingshill is a bit on the hilly side to Wycombe.
I can't think of any route between the two that I know of that wouldn't involve hills.

Some techincal difficulties prevent the quiz being posted just now, I'm afraid. Hopefully Chris M will resolve them and then we can carry on as normal.

It's probably my fault that the answer in the answer file is wrong... mtmikethom gets the points, with the answer. ISTR that I was out taking the picture when I was trying out my new lens for my camera. Answer: Ruislip sidings - view towards Ickenham Ruislip from Austin's lane [cso] (click image for a larger version)
