The coat of arms on the left is that of the City Of London.

It is indeed, along with the coat of arms of Bristol on the right it was the crest of the GWR.

Don't know what the station is though, I'll take a wild stab in the dark at Exeter St David's.

Open floor if I'm correct.

I hope OxtedL won't get mad at me for doing what effectively is his job, but I was quite bored in the office the other day with nothing else to do (which made a nice change) and whilst taking a look at some company spreadsheets I thought 'why don't I try and make a graph on Guess The Station?'

Now I know for fact that OxtedL is much better at maths than me, and also probably a lot better with computers and data software, though I did manage to stitch together a graph showing activity in the thread over the past seventeen days. I hope it doesn't have too many errors in it (:p) but I've recounted a lot of data. If it does, let me know.

This graph is only a start, and I probably won't get the chance to do another, but you can get the idea of how the thread has shaped up.

Everything was done on Excel.

Statistics

1) I recorded activity over a seventeen day period, starting on 12/06/2011 and ending on 28/06/2011.

2) In that time period, the most posts we had was 86 on 18/06/2011.

3) The least amount of posts we had was 6 on 26/06/2011.

4) Posting levels never increased for more than two days in a row.

5) Rather ironically, whilst we made our biggest posting gain on 18/06/2011 with an increase of 66, we immediately made our biggest loss the day after
(19/06/2011) with a posting crash of 58.

6) Whilst this isn't official, I'd be willing to be that Track Basher has the highest posting levels.

Overall, I get the impression that the distribution of data is fairly uneven.

Graph attached for your viewing.

I have reuploaded it as a JPEG so download is not required.

Oh, OK. I must have misinterpreted what you were saying.
