It looked like 5022 sneaking out from Neasden to Wembley Park via the underpass just now running as 717... Does that mean scrap runs have resumed?

[londonstuff] (click for a larger version) norbitonflyer gets the sub points. Inset 3: Biodeisel Locomotive powered by a John Deere Powertech 6125H at the Mount Washington Cog Railway New Hampshire.

No one guessed at the station... so the clue is: (click for a larger version) phillw48 is right, that it's not in the UK... and I don't know what RHDR is but it's not mentioned in the answer file, so you can also have a clue: (click for a larger version) I am reliably informed by our esteemed quiz master, that progressingnicely gets the points for Inset 1 and 2 though. The additional info provided for Inset 1 is: " The photo was taken from the north bank of the Tyne, between the High Level Bridge and Queen Elizabeth II Metro Bridge, which is slightly downstream of the Redheugh Bridge. " Inset 1: Newcastle Quayside [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Inset 2: Eros, Piccadilly Circus [Chris M] (click for a larger version)

The insert link given is not the answer we have on the cards, I'm afraid.
For my own attempt, I'm going to guess at Eltham Palace being the recent photograph.

It's not the museum, I'm afraid... and yes, the goal is to mention where the seat actually is... However, it's not (according to the answer file) in a bus.

It's not quite midnight, but I'm online and have the answer files open, so I might as well award the points to railtechnician. Answer: Kew Gardens - south end of station [Chris M]

The official answer given in the Answer File is top deck of 474 bus in March 2011 [Chris M]... I'd post the rest, but that seems to be wrong

So that's just about every station on that end of the Jubilee Line, but we finally have a winner. Points to allan60 for Dollis Hill - passage to Chapter Road entrance (click image for a larger version)

You're on the right line now with the Jubilee, (just as well, really!) but you've got the wrong station.

harrowman: I don't think I even implied that LUL didn't take it seriously, but my (outside and completed limited) understanding of processes in this circumstance, is that it's not the controller that's responsible for the investigation - just for making sure the server returns to normal.
In fact, all I was commenting on was the likely reason for the Tip Out, and that the fact that the controllers are unlikely to be panicking.

I'd hazard an educated guess that the reason the train would tip out at Croxley, and then run to and from Watford empty, is that it wasn't scheduled to be on that line at that time, and therefor it was reversing via Watford sidings which are not cleared for passengers.
I'd imagine MetControl and linecontroller66 would object to the thought that the controller would be panicing if a driver took a wrong stick.

Quite a few places use code words... I'm doing technical for an event which I've always stewarded at before at the weekend and we have things like 'Disney' for a lost child, 'Mr Jet', 'Mr Fawkes', 'Mr Wellard' for a fight and things like that for use over the radio.

Points to rhubarbrhubarb on this one, for the station. I was trying to be awkward to make you guess the other station, as you only identified one of the two images, but I thought that was unfair as it doesn't mention two answers in the original question. Station A: Sudbury Town - toilets on eastbound platform [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Station B: Sudbury Town - Gents toilet on eastbound platform [londonstuff] (click for a larger version)

I'd imagine the 11-16 is inclusive of the two ages... I'd also suspect there is some perfect (misguided, potentially) reasoning behind it for H&S/Insurance/Legal reasons - as an U16 can quite happily travel on standard tube trains without an adult.
