Appreciated ... but it's not one of the ones in the quiz and it would be a co-incidence if the same location was in the quiz (it's just a picky I took), so please do tell ;-)

I am seeing lots of people reading the quiz thread - people scratching their heads and wondering of picture 3 is Altnabraec (it isn't), or picture 23 is Euston (it isn't).   Yet I understand that there aren't too many answers submitted yet.  Probably because some of the questions aren't too easy - I failed to recognise one of a station I must have used around 2,500 times (yes, I have calculated that number).   It all reminds me of a prize quiz in our own home town, where people had to go round and look in shop windows for certain things, and note them down - we got few entries, but an awful lot of people more than normal were on our High Street, looking into those shop fronts.

The quiz is drawing that attention - thank you, readers - but never the less there is an excellent chance of you being in line for a prize if you submit an entry - even if you put down no. 3 as Forsinard, and no. 23 as Doncaster.

How could 23 be Euston?? 

Mind you, it's about the only one I know for certain as I used to live there!

Can I respectfully ask that answers in the prize quiz are not discussed here, even in jest as to what they couldn't be.

Thanks.

Apologies!

Noted .... I was just looking to give the prize quiz at to http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=15912.0 the oxygen of attention.  I rather suspect you may see some more answers coming in very shortly, as people "rush for the bell".   It reminds me a bit of the master chef programs, where they're given 3 hours and still panic to complete in the last seconds!

Not just Masterchef. Human nature in general. Most people either do something at the first opportunity or rush at the last minute - a minority do it in the intervening period.
