Title: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: JayMac on October 20, 2012, 21:05:20 Not one of mine, but a competition that can be entered online to try and guess TfL stations hidden with visual clues/puns in one picture. Competition promoted by billboard advertiser CBS Outdoor.
http://www.lookforlonger.com/GameDesktop.aspx Competition runs until 11th November 2012. I've manage to answer 34 so far and am busy working out more. Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: EBrown on October 20, 2012, 22:40:29 Over 50... I'm going now...

Post by: bobm on October 21, 2012, 01:35:28 Well I should have gone to bed earlier but it is very addictive. Finally got all 75 - but I must admit I needed a Tube Map as I had not heard of some of the stations!
Good spot bignosemac! Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: JayMac on October 21, 2012, 01:50:56 I got to around 50 before resorting to a tube map, have now submitted my entry with all 75 answered.

Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: Brucey on October 23, 2012, 18:19:41 Oh, it includes the Overground and DLR. Sigh.
Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: JayMac on October 23, 2012, 18:26:35 Happy to help out with some further clues to ones you've yet to get Brucey. Not just gonna give you the answers though. That'd be too easy..... :P
Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: Brucey on October 23, 2012, 18:31:51 I've been going since 7am this morning, albeit with a 7 hour break for work! Now up to 54. Getting there slowly and determined to finish!
Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: JayMac on October 25, 2012, 00:15:35 Even with a tube map I'm stuck on 45! :o Apologies. My thread title was slightly misleading. Although I did say 'TfL' in my first post. ;) Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 02, 2013, 12:19:53 This quiz is being run again this year: see http://www.lookforlonger.com/play-game#

20+ so far... Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 02, 2013, 13:18:05 This topic may provide some clues: see http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=13075.0 ;)
Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: plymothian on November 02, 2013, 22:04:06 This one's more difficult :(
Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: JayMac on November 02, 2013, 22:08:47 Up to 53 so far. Giving it a rest until tomorrow.
Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 02, 2013, 22:10:40 This one's more difficult :( I rather think that's the general idea! ;) :D ;D Please also bear in mind their own instructions: Quote Strewn across this surreal image, hidden in plain sight, are the cryptic representations of 100 Tube, overground and DLR stations, all waiting to be deciphered. To have a crack at cracking them simply click on a clue and after your guess you^ll be told whether you^re right, close or wrong. You may find it helps to get a more detailed look at the clues; this can be achieved by zooming in on the image. (My highlighting, for clarity - it's not just London Underground stations! ;) ) Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: plymothian on November 02, 2013, 22:18:32 I've got the more obvious ones, but I'm definitely going to need the help of a map this time especially with the LO!
Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: plymothian on November 04, 2013, 18:51:12 77/100 and I'm stumped, even with a map and list.
And I want to take issue with Finchley as 'Finchley' by itself is not a station on the LU or LO. Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: plymothian on November 07, 2013, 12:23:50 Is no one else doing this now? 9 to go and I'm scrapping the bottom of the barrel, I need:
- the lobster with the crown - the circle by the snail - the arrow on the pub wall - the two men - the plastered mountain - the plastered pot hole - the guy chasing the swan - the pile of e's - the thing next to the pint of beer Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: Brucey on November 07, 2013, 12:50:02 Is no one else doing this now? 9 to go and I'm scrapping the bottom of the barrel, I need: 9 *TO GO* :oI've been doing this since the day it came online and have only got 9 so far ... and I live in London! :-[ Title: Re: London Underground station names picture quiz. Post by: plymothian on November 07, 2013, 15:20:11 I now got the lobster, but have to take issue again as it's not the proper name of the station on the TfL network
