Photo Quiz 11.01 (FINISHED)

[tubeguru]

OK, I believe it's my turn to try to catch you out with some dodgy photos. All of the photos I'm using for this quiz were taken and processed by me so you won't find any of them anywhere else on the internet. As I was listening to Genesis at the time I was sorting them out I have named each one after a classic Genesis song (in case you were wondering what the names mean).

So without further ado I present you with a nice easy one to get your eye in.

Closing date is Thursday the 28th of January at 21:30.

The "lane indicator" thingy (whatever you call it) did it for me

[tubeguru]

I was considering cropping those out but I thought I'd make it easier given it's the first one.

[jamesthegill]

Are all of your pictures going to be sponsored? Or just the first one?

[Garion]

But then the sign would have done it for me...and if you did that, then the roof*

*yes I'm that sad, I spend THAT much time on wikipedia reading about stations

[tubeguru]

Just this one. I think.

[RichieG]

You're right it's simple - even I'm fairly certain I've got it right

[tubeguru]

They're not all this easy (I hope).

Me too!

[tubeguru]

OK, well this one is over and it was a fairly easy one to be honest. It was of course, London Marylebone station.

And those who got it right are:

jamesthegill
jonny
scrxisi
garion24wales
jbom
greatkingrat
mullardo
Edgemaster
barrykas
root
Rich Tea G

Half a point (if we can award such things) goes to tangy, for trying to be a smartarse by answering "on the concourse of MYB (you are knowledgeable about the the station codes so that should be enough information for you)". Several years as a member of this forum has obviously not imparted to him the level of pedantry I am prepared to sink to, and he himself will recall quiz 10.14, where he took someone's first answer as their final answer when they had given two.

Those who are arses without being smart however, are:

palkanetoijala31 (Queen's Park)
starkey7 (Victoria)
uefacup81 (the rather predictable Berlin Hauptbahnhof)
Going Underground (Paddington)

Quiz 11.03 is coming up and it's a bit trickier.

Hmm... the thing I see about this is that the station code was used, presumably to be quicker. However, he then types 'you are knowledgable...' which uses a lot more time and finger/keyboard effort than typing 'Marylebone' would do... hmm...

(btw, I don't have a T in my name )

It also assumes that I am knowledgeable. He obviously didn't read my signature either. (Name corrected).

If we were to be more pedantic, everyone who just said "Marylebone" is in effect only half correct. This being a photo of the NR station, the official name of it is "London Marylebone" or MYB for short.

So I can accept "London Marylebone" and "MYB", but not "Marylebone"?

[tangy]

If we had a photo of the LU part of Marylebone then yes, just plain Marylebone would be perfectly fine as that is what LU name it. This is quite clearly a phopto of the NR station, which is London Marylebone.
