Well that's impossible - all those stations on that line look exactly the same.

Barry - I know the feeling.

You removed the TOPS number of the train so we couldn't identify the line? A bit over the top isn't it?

Over the top would have been removing all traces of the OLE :twisted:

Hrm...Maybe I should dig out some of my old pics and see what I can do.

Cheers,

I don't think so, Tubeguru. I think that most people would know what line it's on, but very few would know exactly which station. I thought that the Photo Quiz was only for Tube stations, anyway?

Is this station served by tube trains?

If this photo quiz is only for Tube stations then why are DLR stations included? If the DLR is included, so should the NLR (North London Railways/LO)! In my eyes if it is on the Tube Map then it should be included in the photo quizzes.

Besides, no one kicked off when I did my Christmas photo quiz, featuring a station on this very same line and not even featuring one of the line's resident units!

I like to have variety (i.e a bit of DLR and NLR as well as Tube) but be assured I do have a Tube station photo for my next quiz.

I think that ANY station on a standard tube map should be considered. It makes a nice change every now and then.

Can we use disused stations then?

In the same way as the DLR, it narrows it down for the guessers as there's only so many disused stations out there. Also, I used an NLL station in the last round with an old picture of Canning Town pre-DLR/JLE as well, so there's previous that can be cited.

The results of Photo Quiz 5.16:

The station was Woodgrange Park, the OHLE and the rail junction being biggest clues.

Despite many knowing what line it is, only the following got the correct answer:
--barrykas
--greatkingrat
--Nigel
--jbom1
--Lancaster Gate

Those that had a guess but got an incorrect answer:
--No-one!

Photo 5.18 is being prepared and be with you shortly.
