Guess the Station...

[paulravuslante]

Now then, now then. How's about this?

 

[clagmonster]

Moss Side?

 

[paulravuslante]

Moss Side?

Nowhere near.

 

[clagmonster]

Ruswarp?

 

[Ivo]

Kinbrace?

 

[paulravuslante]

Ruswarp?

Kinbrace?

No and no. It ain't in the north.

 

[Ivo]

From one extreme to the other: Quintrell Downs.

From one extreme to the other: Quintrell Downs.

Aha! You've hit the nail on the head. Quintrell Downs is the one!

 

[Ivo]

I immediately thought Far North Line, thinking I recognised it from Wikipedia and chose a place at random. When you said it isn't up north, I don't know what made me say Quintrell Downs, but apparently random choices work!

Probably my best ever guess on here - beating this one from over a year ago (just )!

Come back in a couple of minutes folks

You will have to go on what you can see reflected in the poster on this one (and don't answer "Ivo", because that's not funny, or "Culham", because that's just plain stupid). Good luck

Note that this one has not been edited at all (apart from being reduced to 40% of its original size as always and also being rotated by 90°).

P.S.: I have no idea what this poster is supposed to be indicating. Answers on a postcard please!

 

[clagmonster]

I can't see the photo. I'm going for Ingatestone.

 

[Ivo]

It's up now; I accidentally hit "Submit" before attaching the photo.

Not Ingatestone, but that doesn't really count as a wrong guess in my book - more a "How the Hell...?!" if it was right!

 

[clagmonster]

Didcot?

 

[Ivo]

Aye.

And the poster means what exactly?

 

[clagmonster]

I hope I've blurred out the station name sufficiently.

For the Culham poster, I'm not really sure, presumably some advisory information.

 

[Class172]

Well 'Birmingham' would fit into the shape of the smudge but it doesnt look like any B'ham station…

 

[OxtedL]

How about Hillington East (West??)?

 

[ole man]

Could be Bridlington?

 

[clagmonster]

Two of the three guesses are in the right country, but neither are particularly close.

 

[Ivo]

Upton?

"No"

 

[clagmonster]

Upton?

"No"

Incorrect. The previous guesses had the right idea in terms of word structure.

 

[Ivo]

So somewhere with approximately three syllables and ten letters, possibly beginning with B?

Bedhampton

 

[OxtedL]

It's possibly an -ington. Acklington?

 

[clagmonster]

Neither correct. You both have the right idea though.

 

[Ivo]

Accrington

Last guess from me for a while.

 

[clagmonster]

Incorrect. All the working has been correct, you just haven't arrived at the right answer yet.

 

[paulravuslante]

Brinnington

 

[clagmonster]

Brinnington

Correct.

As there was clearly a hint provided to some quizzers by my blurring of the station name, is there a better method out there?

 

[paulravuslante]

Where's the lady?

Couldn't you just dump a black box on it?

 

[clagmonster]

Ashurst?

How would I do that?
