The census phases 1a, 1b and 2 are now complete up to post no. 15000. Phase three will drag on a bit longer yet (that's identifying stations from posts). Expect lots of random lists/charts for a week or so.

Many thanks to all those who helped.
My books show we are still 55 correct answers short. Many of these will be errors (I found 4 today), but I will get back to you as the mysteries unfold...

Correct answer.

Interesting stats. I'm no statistician, but are they saying that Steamy Brian is in the top twenty posters and has never had a wrong answer? Kind of impressive... It looks like my incorrect to correct ratio could be improved upon, but it seems achieveable. Wasn't there a chart / graph before which showed the other posts (i.e. those posts that don't really contribute to the guessing / answering element of the thread)?
It wasn't that hard:
- 150009 only operates on the Snow Hill lines
- There is a large canopy, not many stations have this on the line
- Track layout - terminating trains
- Most importantly, I live in Droitwich so I'm only 5 stops away

Looks like Llangennech to me.

There is a reason for that, because it is.

How far away do you want the platforms, you could fit quad track in that gap
Farnborough Main?

Not Farnborough Main as that has 4 tracks and a gap as well.

DISCLAIMER: OxtedL and those involved in the census can accept no responsibility for the accuracy of this data. It is given as is, and is subject to change as circumstances change.
I was going to say, I just got one right!
Bearing in mind, post 15000 was probably not long after I joined the forums

Oxted is correct: it is Cheam.
How many roads did that used to have? Looks like it used to be a whole lot bigger than it is now anyway!
EDIT: Ah, used to have 2 fasts but had so much space for the addition of AC power and an island platform which never happened

Too far away. But right TOC.
I really hope Matt Taylor doesn't show up...

I've only been on Southern once, between Bexhill and Brighton.
As you're always ranting on about the Oxted line I shall guess at the northern end of that, Croydon South?

I wonder why that is??!!
It isn't South Croydon. I have little interest in South Croydon, given most Oxted trains don't stop there... It is, however, Leatherhead. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2248367
So that's an open floor.
