Post by jamesthegill »

Answers in by 8pm on Sunday 5th October please.

There are two different answers I'll accept for this, but only those two. (And no extra points for both answers)

A PM is a private message. If you look at the bottom left corner of the box containing a person's message, you'll see two little buttons; one is called pm and allows you to send your message privately.

I think that this week's photo is very hard. I can't even see the colour of the line on the sign inside the station.

I think Kevin should feel free to submit an answer to this. I too saw her guess, and I've submitted a quite different answer from hers.

The fact I don't have any idea doesn't help either :?

As in I now fully understand.
Not an "aaaaaaahhhh" moment as in "aaaaaaahhhh, I've just fallen down a well"?

And my cryptic hints do make sense, when you get the hang of them :D

The station in question was Shepherd's Bush (H+C), soon to be renamed Shepherd's Bush Market. Many people gave me both answers anyway, but they're still only getting one point.

Those who got it right:
mullardo
dudey
scrxisi
garion24wales
jbom1
moley (who fortunately added Shepherd's Bush Market to his answer - had he just gone with "Shepherd's Bush" I would've ruled it out, as there are three stations of that name on the map above my monitor)
greatkingrat
Lancaster Gate
editorsfoot

Those who didn't:
Starkey7 who went with a shot in the dark of Goldhawk Road - close but no cigar
Going Underground, who went for North Harrow.

Interestingly, some H&C trains already have the new stickers on them showing "Market" in the name, and for those who haven't been to the station recently the new signs with "Market" on them are on the platforms, but with "Market" blanked out with some blue gaffer tape!

Interestingly, I cannot ever remember the station signs saying "H+C" after the name!

You make a good point.

It's moot anyway, as you still gave me a correct answer :)
