I'll take the open floor then.
Hopefully this one will last slightly more than my single post for Stratford above!

Just to clarify, this is taken from track level, it's not from a public area. I work for the railway so I was in a possession.

I'm an engineer and was out in my oranges when I took this. I do get interesting perspectives on things sometimes!

I would suggest that photographs are taken from public areas so that everyone has equal chances of viewing.
You have an unfair advantage taking them from the track level.

Advantage how? He can't guess his own pictures can he?

I think it's great to see different angles than the usual.

That's fair comment, however, I'd counter with:
- There's enough in the photo that you can see from a public area (station buildings etc), they are just viewed from a different angle.
- The track I'm stood on and the stuff surrounding it is all clearly visible from a public area too, so it's nothing you can't see, just not from that angle.
Essentially I thought it would be interesting to have to apply some slightly different perspective thinking and bring in something from a viewpoint many don't get to see.

I'd disagree with the 'unfair advantage' though - in a game like this where it's all just a bit of fun, I'd say there isn't much of an 'advantage' to be gained in any way. I just enjoy the guessing and the making photos interesting. :D

I agree there's enough to see in there and it's a perfectly acceptable entry.

I also recognise it from the arched girders on the wall, but the name of the place escapes me at the moment...

Good to see some variety! Good luck to those guessing!

Fair enough.
If it is visible from public areas then my objection is withdrawn.

I do not know where it is.......

Nope! Neither of those.

I didn't expect this one to be this hard but I hope it's still fun not annoying. I'll do another clue tonight before I go to bed.
