Sorry about vanishing last night, I was doing some significant data crunching. Fortunately you all noticed I'd left you an obvious one .
Some updated graphs, which I think show some interesting things. Apologies, the timeline features a bad editorial by me.

Wow!
Your graph work continues to impress me. Slightly dissapointed to see my thread 'Guess The Train Class' well off the pace of this one, but I distinctively remember the day this thread started, seeing the amount of replies and thinking 'Heck, TP has made one good Quiz!'
Top quality graphs and some very interesting data to.

I'm well impressed, name the station seems to have shot up since I started posting

Hehe. Subways are always tricky ones.
I know it isn't, but I'll still guess Stourbridge Jn. Can we have lots of clues please?

This station hasn't come up in this thread before but the stations immediately before and immediately after on the same line have.
Excellent work as always.Sorry about vanishing last night, I was doing some significant data crunching. Fortunately you all noticed I'd left you an obvious one

May I ask when did I first appear on Guess the Station??

Thanks, that seems really recent, I'd have expected the date to be further back than that - it seems I appeared 2 days after Guess the Station overtook Stagecoach NW thread.2025 on the 17th May 2011
As for the station, I haven't a clue.

That's not fantastically useful.
I do have a list of the ~1600 stations that haven't yet appeared on the thread, but I can't yet do anything with that list. I was hoping for a geographical clue... In the mean time, I shall randomly name stations with subways, like perhaps Leamington Spa.Class172, what Matt tells you is indeed correct. Apologies to everyone not on the timeline, I could only realistically fit on mentions of the top 10 posters, and even then not all of them. If I get a chance I'll redo one of my earlier graphs showing a posting density timeline for all contributors. Gosh I'm slightly sad.
Having mentioned my list of un-featured stations, does anyone fancy having a really good go at clearing stations from the list? Say I managed process a nice list of stations on the Merseyrail network (for example), we could perhaps have a week of Mersey-related guessing festivites? Although maybe not exclusively, as that could get tedious...
Dorridge??
What hasn't been done in the West Midlands yet??

That's assuming it is in the West Midlands, maybe it is, maybe it isn't
Not Dorridge by the way.

You yourself have put up one of Dorridge! As did IPT fairly early on.
Unfortunately, despite being able to do pointless things like that, I can't shed any light on this photo...

A couple of clues as this is quite a hard one:
It's on a electrified route
It has 4 platforms, but only 2 of them are in use

That surely makes it Northfield. Certainly fits the appeared/not appeared clue you gave.

Indeed it does, your turn
