Guess the Station that has been visited by Michael Portillo... Relaunched!

[transportphoto]

This game features as one of your chances to win a copy of Great British Railway Journeys series three on DVD! In association with Fetch Publicity, RailUK Forums are going to give away four copies of the DVD to celebrate it's launch and the winner of this quiz will be the recipient of one of them!

This Bradshaw themed version of Guess the Station features only stations which are listed on Wikipedia (yes, sorry) as 'from', 'to' or 'via' stations.

Entries must be submitted by PM to transportphoto, entries submitted in thread will be deleted.

Each member has two attempts, the first entry will receive a response telling them which of their guesses are correct and the second will be taken as their final entry. The winner will be the person with the most correctly guessed stations at 2000 on Sunday 7th April 2013, in the event of a draw, the winner will be determined by time of entry. The competition will finish early if a member submits all 10 stations correctly before this time.

Each picture is numbered as part of the image's name, '1.jpg' for example, please submit answers in numerical order.

Feel free to post any queries in thread.

This competition was relaunched on 1st April 2013.

Good Luck!

One month in and very little uptake, this competition has been relaunched, the stations are the same but hopefully it's a little easier! You have until 2000 on Sunday... make sure you re-read the original post! Good Luck!

Blimey, I didn't realise it had been a month since launch! Best get my thinking cap back on again :P

 

[ainsworth74]

Yes we dropped the ball on this one. However it's been revamped and I suspect will be a bit easier for all concerned this time!

You'd think so, wouldn't you :P

 

[Trainfan344]

I reckon I have Improved on my last attempt on this quiz.

 

[transportphoto]

You've just got until 2000 on Sunday to enter! So far I have two entries...

 

[Ivo]

#5 looks like it could be almost anywhere

I've got a decent number at the moment, and reckon with a bit of patience I could get another two.

 

[Crossover]

I will be having another look later today hopefully...been too busy with other things this week to get any time to do anything

 

[transportphoto]

And the winner is... Trainfan344 having correctly guessed 8 out of 10 stations. Well Done!!

Thanks and Well Done to the four members who entered, their was a draw for top place, Ivo, also scored 8/10 however the winner was determined by time of entry. Trainfan344 will be contacted by a moderator shortly and I'll post the answers later!

Too early, Wednesday is my birthday. My guess at Number 9 was what won me the competition then.

 

[Crossover]

Well, since I have never been anywhere near the 5 I didn't get, the outcome isn't overly surprising!

The purple gave that one away for me :P

 

[Trainfan344]

For anyone that is interested, here are the final 10 stations I came up with:


1) Cromer
2) Wareham
3) Castle Cary
4) Gomshall
5) Weymouth
6) Mallaig
7) Rotherhithe
8) Chester-le-Street
9) Bourneville
10) Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysi liogogogoch

 

[Crossover]

TP - it is Bourneville (that'll teach me for doing it at half 2 in the morning :P)

 

[Trainfan344]

I managed to convince myself that #9 wasn't bourneville and that it was Northern Owned...

No it's not :P :P

Interesting...Stourbridge Town was one of the few I picked up on when the pics were so small, they were almost microscopic :P

 

[Ivo]

I lost to someone who guessed Bournville?

Why do I never have any luck in anything? :cry:

At least the two I didn't get can reasonably be considered the hardest two: #4 and #5. But then if my Internet hadn't messed up *again* I probably would have got Gomshall on the second attempt, even if I didn't get Downham Market. I also would have entered a lot earlier if not for being at my mother's and having far less laptop access than usual...

Make sure I win the last one OK people?

Poor Ivo. He must be turning in his grave!

 

[Ivo]

Poor Ivo. He must be turning in his grave!

I'm not dead yet

 

[asylumxl]

I'm not dead yet

Are you sure?

I would like an independent review to be commissioned in to look in to this. Hopefully when we receive the results in 3 years we will know for sure ...

 

[Mojo]

I'm not dead yet

I don't get it...

 

[Ivo]

I don't get it...

I'm a bit worried by you saying this in relation to your sig. Either you will have to provide a source confirming you don't get it (he said I'm "turning in [my] grave", suggesting I'm dead), or asylumxl et al will have to provide a source that I'm dead...

..or I'll need one confirming I'm alive...

Argh! Stupid logic

On with the final quiz already! And let me win this time

 

[Mojo]

I think I was just a bit confused about why you thought you may have been dead.

No need to provide a source; my signature is just a mickey-take at the times someone says that

 

[asylumxl]

I was thinking we should get a memorial headboard made for Ivo and placed on a LM 323. Seems a fitting tribute.
