A quiz to keep us going until the other one is revealed - 45 in this one......

[whole diary]

[Southern Stag]

23. Eastleigh, that would tie in with the East, South, North or West clue.

[brooklea]

I am pretty confident now that 42 is of the buffer stop adjacent to platform 1A at Bridgend.

Is that quiz over?

[Red Squirrel]

I'd say so!

[flyingscotsman]

Brooklea is correct at Bridgend - Finally!

however 23. is NOT Portsmouth Harbour

[brooklea]

Final answer...Number 23. Portsmouth and Southsea

And I'm sure of that!

Thanks for the entertainment flyingscotsman

[flyingscotsman]

Well that is my quiz over. I would like to thank all who took part in the quiz.

BrookLea came out on tops.........but on the others hand........maybe BrookLea has too much time on their hand!!! But great to see.

Now some of you used Google to find answers, very clever!

Look out for more pictures arriving.........

Good luck with the quiz Bignosemac has active at the present moment.


Please may I ask for feedback on my quiz.....too easy/hard etc.

Did you like the You Tube clip?

Thanks for a most diverting and tough quiz flyingscotsman. 

I'll take the opportunity to point folks to the prize picture quiz I'm currently running.

There's a week left to enter, closing date 11:59pm Sunday 30th June, so plenty of time to mull over the pictures and get your entry in. There's only been a handful of entries thus far so don't be afraid to enter even if you can only answer a selection of the pictures.

I enjoyed looking through the pictures,  thank you FLyingScotsman ... but didn't butt in with any answers as I simply didn't know.   It's good to have a variety of setters, with a variety of styles; carry on as you do / would love to see another one like this sometime.

Peronsal thoughts ...

* Once it's down to just a handful of pictures left to identify, why not repeat them in a fresh post - then people aren't scolling back and forth.  And more so where you've generated so much interaction the thread is several pages long.

* That was a tough quiz for those of us who don't have much out-of-area knowledge.  As far as I can see, none were First Great Westrn managed stations (although about a dozen are FGW^▸ (First Great Western) served, if you can call 2 trains each way a day a "service" in some cases).

I used to keep quizzes down to around a dozen questions to keep the page load time reaonably fast even on poor connections. But Im guessing that may no longer be a valid concern ... thoughts, anyone?  Am I out of date?

Of course, if you followed my thoughts into actions, you would end up with a quiz looking too much like my quizzes, so please don't.  I enjoyed it just the way it was!

Thank you to all, for the comments.......another quiz will be on it's way in the future.

Good luck to all who is doing the quiz that Bignosemac has got going at present.........I have got a few of them, nothing to shout about..so I will remain silent.

Medical tomorrow, maybe they might let me back driving those big trains....
