I've been up and down those stairs a few times - I won't say where it is though.

I pass them twice every working day, sometimes stopping besides them - and during disruption, I once climbed them. But I'm wracking my brains as to why today? Tried to build on a poet laureate's controversial utterings but could not get that to fit. Others could have got no further over Christmas, but can do so today. Tomorrow, you will be able to do something you cannot do today.
So I'll hold off and watch with amusement...

Ummm, that's not what I have on the card, but it's certainly worth some bonus points! |

Well done just to Humbug actually, as that isn't the answer we're looking for.

OK, I'm stumped! The actual answer as to why this quiz was posted 1st January 2020 eludes me.
It can't be that that day was the last that paper tickets would be needed at the station, because smart cards have been usable for a while.
it's not an opening date as far as I can find - either of the railway or of the station.
It's not even the opening date of the M4 motorway (although Wikipedia does have a spurious 1st January 1970 date for the M4 at Slough!).
So, please - can we have the answer to the bonus question?

Simply because it was New Years Day and Slough is one of TfL's newest stations.
