The station was Pimlico.

Correct answers:
perkyperky
jbom1
editorsfoot
greatkingrat
moley
garion24wales
scrxisi

Nul point to:
Starkey7 (St James's Park)
Soup Dragon, who said "The answer is "Passport to ......." also this station does not contain any letters in the word BADGER, it is the only station on the network not to contain at least one of these letters!" but didn't actually name a station.

I think that his "Passport to..." statement should be enough. A PM that clearly indicates which station you think the photo represents should be taken as acceptable. It's like my saying, "Oh, it's the station at the very eastern end of the District line" which cannot be interpreted as anything other than Upminster.

Think you're being unfair to Soupie there James.

I think he's being entirely fair.

He asked for the name of the station, not a phrase that refers to it.

Had I been in charge of this round...

I would not have known that "Passport to ......." refers to Pimlico, not would I have been bothered to work it out from the "BADGER" statement.

So I wouldn't have been able to give a point to Antony.

So I think it's fair that James didn't either.

My two cents, even if none of you cares :)

Harsh but fair James. Serves me right for trying to be a smart arse!
But if anyone can find another station that does not contain a single letter from the word BADGER then give them 100 bonus points :)
One day I shall return!

I agree Starkey, it was a bit strict but I didn't want to start a precedent where the answer is hidden in the PM or hinted at and left for me to figure out. Otherwise you could PM me "it's in zones 1,2,3,4,5 or 6" for Photo Quiz 4.13 which would be technically correct, but would be unfair on someone who was wavering between two answers and went for the wrong one.
