So far right: 1 wrong: 3.
Who's regretting complaining that they were too easy now?

Had a go at this, I reckon I have around a 7/1 chance of getting it right

Re: Photo Quiz 8.07
For what was intended as a complete bastard of a question, this had an awful lot of entries. And was anyone regretting complaining that the last few weren't EVL enough?
Those who guessed Oxford Circus:
scrxisi
tubeguru
Going Underground
barrykas
garion24wales
greatkingrat
Those who guessed Green Park:
mps247 (who took nearly a week to work out that it was a Victoria line station)
jbom1
uefacup81
Edgemaster
Those who guessed Stockwell:
Sam
Those who guessed Finsbury Park:
Mitchell&BrownLook
Those who guessed Highbury & Islington:
Soup Dragon
Those who guessed King's Cross:
Starkey7
The correct station was Green Park, which Edgemaster arrived at via some interesting deductions. I will point out that the Bakerloo and Victoria platforms at Oxford Circus are parallel, so there wouldn't be a sign for solely the Victoria line there.

Those white tiles on the wall are unique to Oxford Circus as part of the recent refurbishment. So it's never going to be Green Park.

Re: Photo Quiz 8.07
I think similar arguments should probably exclude Finsbury Park (Victoria & Piccadilly platforms together), Highbury & Islington (Victoria & First Capital Connect), Euston (Victoria & Northern), and Stockwell (also Victoria & Northern).jamesthegill wrote:I will point out that the Bakerloo and Victoria platforms at Oxford Circus are parallel, so there wouldn't be a sign for solely the Victoria line there.
I was worried that it might be either Victoria or Warren Street.

Woooah, that was unexpected! As can be guessed it really was a shot for nothing.jamesthegill wrote:which Edgemaster arrived at via some interesting deductions.

My deductions
Seems I didn't even bother deducing whether or not it could be the northern end of the line, I must've got bored...I think the only way to get this is to guess...
So, Green Park.
Brixton wouldn't need a sign like this
Stockwell is X-platform with Northern
It's not Vauxhall or Pimlico
I can't rule out Green Park
Oxford Circus is X-platform with Bakerloo
I don't recall Warren Street having a place where two tunnels could meet and be signed in such a way.
KXSP, erm, possibly, I have no idea.

Re: Photo Quiz 8.07 (now finshed)
I used to change between the District and Victoria lines at Victoria, and the white tiles in the corridors are almost identical to the ones that are shown in the photograph. Thinking about it now, there might be a few differences with colour and positioning, however I almost said Victoria instead of Green Park. My 50/50 guess turned out to be correct (after, of course, deducing that it was indeed a Victoria line station)!Edgemaster wrote:It just doesn't look like victoria.
