@Jamie: They're actually old offices and post office. Smile Try searching on google maps, you might find it... approx 170 kilometers away from Brno, coal mines area. Smile

Not, but close. Svinov is a relatively new station, this one is not. Smile

If you want some flats Jamie, try taking pics round Chavbrook Gardens, they'd hit you on the head and nick your mobile phone as a reward Sad
I got the flats at Ballymun* in my latest WIP, but I got them at a safe distance of 150 miles off google.

*A rather rough estate in Dublin, made Brixton look like a holiday camp and Chelmsley Wood look like a convent.

** and for the sake of Oxfordshire lad Viccy, that's like sayin' Blackbird Leys is a kindergarten, I think yez all get the idea!

We've got a couple of areas in Coventry like that... Christ, a dSLR would be on eBay before you've even realised someone's had it off you.

Awesome! All right, here's mine. As it's a closeup, I don't think clues are necessary as to the general location, so I won't give any hints unless no one gets close at all.

Nope, it's not East Acton. If another person fails, I'll give out a hint, but I really think it's not too hard.

Well, the logo makes it easy to identify the station as being part of the London Overground network. I checked all their stations on Wikipedia and yet I did not find this station. Question The most similar station would be Bushey, but the platform roofs are shaped differently.

Well, Quork, I can tell you that your first sentence is untrue. I don't think other hints are necessary yet as this is a pretty unique station. By the way, I have not photoshopped/edited this photo at all except for blurring out the station names in the blue part of the roundels.

HOLD ON! Exclamation

I know that station! Used to pass it on my trips to London from my old home in Hillingdon!

That'd be the one and only WEST HARROW!

Being very young then, I remembered how all the stations looked on the section between Uxbridge and Harrow-on-the-hill.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, West Harrow is correct! Great job, Bruce! Quork, when I said this station was quite unique, I meant that it was the only station with visibly faded roundels (of the overground style, not the plaque style). Take a look below to see what I mean:

Anyway, your turn, Bruce!

So...what about this station? Here is the first photo, if you struggle you can always ask for the other half!
