Whether you wanted one or not, I've created a bonus quiz for those in the pub at the Acton meet and those not joining us can play too. There are 30 single part images of various signs around the TfL network, some have been modified to remove station names and anything just as obvious but all the modifications are clearly visible black or white blocks and most are unmodified completely. For those playing online 5 photos will be released automatically every hour starting at 1pm, the thread wont automatically update so you will have to remember to look back and you might have to refresh. The quiz in the pub will start whenever there are several of us there and will be less strictly timed. No answers will be given online until Sunday, but will be given in the pub when people get them. If any remain unanswered online by Monday I'll figure out some clues. 01 - 1:00pm  (click for a larger version) 02 - 1:00pm  (click for a larger version) 03 - 1:00pm  (click for a larger version) 04 - 1:00pm  (click for a larger version) 05 - 1:00pm  (click for a larger version) 06 - 2:00pm  (click for a larger version) 07 - 2:00pm  (click for a larger version) 08 - 2:00pm  (click for a larger version) 09 - 2:00pm  (click for a larger version) 10 - 2:00pm  (click for a larger version) 11 - 3:00pm  (click for a larger version) 12 - 3:00pm  (click for a larger version) 13 - 3:00pm  (click for a larger version) 14 - 3:00pm  (click for a larger version) 15 - 3:00pm  (click for a larger version) 16 - 4:00pm  (click for a larger version) 17 - 4:00pm  (click for a larger version) 18 - 4:00pm  (click for a larger version) 19 - 4:00pm  (click for a larger version) 20 - 4:00pm  (click for a larger version) 21 - 5:00pm  (click for a larger version) 22 - 5:00pm  (click for a larger version) 23 - 5:00pm  (click for a larger version) 24 - 5:00pm  (click for a larger version) 25 - 5:00pm  (click for a larger version) 26 - 6:00pm  (click for a larger version) 27 - 6:00pm  (click for a larger version) 28 - 6:00pm  (click for a larger version) 29 - 6:00pm  (click for a larger version) 30 - 6:00pm  (click for a larger version) |

28 Split signage for Met and H&C/Circle platforms surely has to be Baker Street?

13 I think is more likely Warren Street
11 is making me think Canning Town but I'm less confident?

13 I think is more likely Warren Street Ah yes, because Euston doesn't have separate Victoria Line platforms. I'm sure I've seen a similar sign at Euston though somewhen. |

Is there a limit to how many one person can guess?  I think 25 has to be on the Hammersmith branch of the H&C/Circle, more specifically Goldhawk Road |

16 - Hammersmith Circle & HC Lines?
25 - Shepherds Bush Market?

Well, to keep things moving:
01 - looks desperately familiar, but I'm struggling to see why it says "to Underground" rather than to a specific line or lines. The tiling reminds me of Leicester Sq, so I'll go with that.
03 - the dull green paint conjures up feelings of Edgware Road (SSL).
06 - somewhere on the central bit of the District, with lots of duck tape in evidence - Mansion House?
10 - somewhere up the top end of the Met - random stab at Moor Park.
14 - can't help feeling I've seen this, so Liverpool Street.
21 - JLE with an interchange - London Bridge?
26 - there is a door at the end of the Euston Sq platforms in just this insipid shade of pink, but I don't think it's there, so I'll try Great Portland Street.

01 isn't Leicester Square. Clues will come tomorrow if necessary.
03 isn't Edgware Road (SSL)
06 not Mansion House
10 try again
14 is not Liverpool Street. I'm unable to say whether you've seen it or not though.
21 not London Bridge
26 sorry, this isn't Great Portland Street, but I agree regarding the shade of pink!

This makes me think it must be somewhere with National Rail/Overground but I haven't got any idea to go with that |

No 1 - A quick Google suggests it's Elephant & Castle (Northern Line)
No 7 - I've narrowed it down to seven possibilities, and of those I think it might be Sydenham.

01 - Elephant & Castle - 111 stairs to Northern Line (click for a larger version) 7 is not Sydenham though |

Post by norbitonflyer on Apr 25, 2016 10:47:34 GMT
If 7 is not Sydenham, I'll go for New Cross
10. Not many island platforms on the Met, still fewer where the platforms have to be identified by number - but I think it's Watford
19 - only two possibilities, and of those I think it's Westminster
