I must admit, I think then new style sounds more customer friendly, though... I'm sure we discussed this on here before though

Doesn't a 180 degree roation mean the pins are the same way anyway...
I know some shops and venues use plugs with the Earth Pin rotated 90 degrees to stop normal plugs being plugged in...

No answer on the sheet matches Spitalfields, I'm afraid. According to the list I've just produced, we have the following outstanding: Inset A: (click for a larger version) Inset B: (click for a larger version) Inset D3: (click for a larger version) Link and Bonus Answer are still outstanding as well.

I think it probably wouldn't apply due to the fact it's (technically) a train out of service... In much the same way as you can't get on a bus with them that's not in service.

If it works the way the '67ts did, then I doubt people with a Freedom pass could claim a free trip - tickets were checked, and the train didn't open doors at stations where it wasn't due to stop etc.

I think part of the reason why I object to it, is that I could do the ride for £20 with a travel-card; so I'm essentially paying £20 for being on an A-Stock...
Additionally, as has been said, it's only a rail tour on the Metropolitan Line; so unless it offers something else which isn't 'conventional' then it doesn't really seem worth it.
I shall consider my options between now and the 3rd as to whether to attend it or not.

That's correct - it's a former station which is now a car park, as opposed to the others which are current stations with car parks.

I'm afraid I only have your word for that, Deep Level I think this is why Chris set up an email address for people to email answers too rather than PMing as it's not always going to be the same person posting the quiz and giving the answers out. Well done Rich32 with Wanstead. Station C1: Wanstead - top of stairs between escalators [Chris M] (click for a larger version)

Identified so far we have: causton who gets Station A: Kensal Green - stairs to platforms from ticket hall [Chris M] (click for a larger version) alholmes who gets Station B: Bow Church - beneath stairs to northbound platform [Chris M] (click for a larger version) (Deep Level more than likely guessed this correctly in PM, but as that only goes to one person, if someone else is doing the answers, they won't see it and therefor can't say if it's right or not ) To be identified, we still have the following: Station C1: (click for a larger version) Station C2: (click for a larger version) Station D: (click for a larger version) The link also needs to be identified, still.
