Station X-Ray - last call
Well, this one has been going longer than a Liz Truss premiership. Any other takers for station X-Ray, or shall I finally put the lettuce out for composting?

Get on with it.

Well I did look at it, and should be able to work it out, but I can't be bothered any more ...

Re: Nice-looking station! Where is it?
That’s the spirit!
I’ve left this one run longer than usual to try to get a feel for when it’s time to halt “Nice Looking stations” for now. I thought maybe after Yankee and Zulu, but now may be the time.
I will try to find time to answer X-ray properly in the next few days. In the meantime, I am pretty sure the hint narrows it down to one station…

Re: Nice-looking station! Where is it?
Well, I actually like them, but they run for so long that people might be losing interest. You're hardly getting hundreds of entries are you? ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: Nice-looking station! Where is it?
Not hundreds. Thousands…
I’ve generally related speed to demand. Perhaps I should press on but with no frills - suspend the bonus perhaps. Then I can speed up. (It takes time to come up with a bonus which isn’t a hint in its own right.)

Re: Nice-looking station! Where is it?
Yeah, just set a fixed time limit for each one (two or three weeks?) and just go through them. I don't think letting them run longer will encourage more people to enter. It's always the same people anyway

And even some of them are falling by the wayside. Let’s see if I can pick them up…

Re: Nice-looking station! Where is it?
You may find that the long time limit for entries might be dissuading people. Hence why I say just set it to a fixed limit for each one, and then they'll roll through more quickly, and people will notice them more.

Re: Nice-looking station! Where is it?
I’ll see what I can do. In the meantime, go on, give X-ray another go…
Will answer when I can access my main PC (and have the spare time).
I’m pretty sure I have narrowed it to one station, for anyone who knows anything about rolling stock etc.
