jeebeelodo hits the nail on the head with Station A. Station A: Putney Bridge - station exterior [Chris M] (click for a larger version) a60 is the first to identify station B as Tower Hill. Station B: Tower Hill - bay road from front of train [Anonymous] (click for a larger version) Deep Level gets Insert 2 correct: Inset 2: HMS President [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Deep Level also gets most of the link correct, but the answer contains slightly more: Bonus answer: The insets are the start and end points for the Queen's journey as part of the Diamond Jubilee Pageant, the stations approximate the same journey by London Underground Insert 1 remains outstanding, though: (click for a larger version)

I'm not convinced that running the S8-1s in passenger service is necessarily a good idea... you might find the commuters on the Circle / Hammersmith and City line actually like them!

If I've read this correctly, we've got answers to everything apart from B and Insert 2 on B. We don't have the link yet, though, either. I'm giving you C1 as correct with the Paris Metro, but there's more information in the answer file which I've included below. So... we have: Station A: Hampstead Heath - station from footbridge [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Station B: {Missing} [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Inset B1: St Pancras International [Deep Level] (click for a larger version) Inset B2: {Missing} [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Station C: Upper Holloway - westbound entrance [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Inset C1: Paris Métro - MF67 at Porte de Montreuil, line 9 [Reganorak] (click for a larger version) Inset C2: Haggerston Park [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Station D: Covent Garden - canopy over exit [Chris M] (click for a larger version)

Surely as long as it's cleared to run on the line (regardless of PAX service or not) you could argue that a tour could take you anywhere, because you're not 'a passenger' as such.
I doubt the '67 was cleared for Passenger Service for half the places it went on the tour, since from memory at two of the stops, some of the train wasn't fully on the platform.

Will 5056/57 be at the North of the South tomorrow? Aww, 5056 is going That's a shame, I've probably ridden on that one more than any other A-Stock. Shame it's so wet, I can't make the journey to Northwood to see it.

I think it's also so people can ignore them, as I was asked on a service from Uxbridge on Sunday whether the train was going to Aldgate or Baker Street, so I just stopped, looked up and read the answer from the display.

Any computer "holmes"'s like to make a case (preferably a solution) out of that lot?? Worth noting that the images here, and the main site itself, are hosted in the same place. The obvious first thought is that there is a problem between your home router and the website: if your son's laptop works fine elsewhere, as does your mobile phone. I'd start by suggesting: Start -> Run -> type 'cmd' follow what's in my quote (if you can) and paste the output here... Could also try: tracert www.images.districtdave.co.ukand paste the output here... What router do you have?

I can't see how clearing your browser cache would cause the problem with the main site not loading... although I suppose it depends on what you mean by "not loading"...
What browser / OS?

*grumble* *grumble*
I'm working at the Canal Festival that day, so won't be able to go on them *again*... I've come to the conclusion I'm destined to never ride on either the 38s or Sarah.
The LTM Friends magazine suggests it will be Sarah and the '38 incidently.
