I've been playing for a while now, and just wondered if there's any rules in particular to these?

Don't screw up and post the answer in the thread instead of PMing me ;) use all available tools , from visiting the station, using flickr/wikipedia to find the original picture, Google maps/street view, to bribing the question setter with things.

Such a practice may discourage James from setting photo quizes... it would be unwise to bite the hand that feeds you. :)

Well, it took me ages to get this, but at least I can now tell the difference between the inside of a Jubilee and a Northern train. It turns out that the rather striking building is a block of flats called Jubilee Heights.

I'd love to claim that the last fact was deliberate and a helpful hint to anyone entering the quiz. But that would imply far too much forethought on my part.
