I’ll take a podium place all day long! Well done Green Kitten for the win, and thanks for organising, snowman. Thank goodness I went for East Croydon rather than Birkbeck which I so nearly went for instead! 😂 Well done green kitten. Unfortunately birkbeck put me in midfield, otherwise I would have been near the top ☹️

Sadly, it looks like I've lost my fourth spot and I've tied with Hassan - thanks DT 11 loool.

Weren't we given the opportunity to change our answers for Q12 after the criteria was modified?
I definitely submitted a new response but this hasn't been included for the published results.
I'm really sorry but this might alter everyone's score a little unless Snowman definitely didn't receive my updated answer, although it seems to show up as being sent on here.
That aside, well done to Snowman for organising a great quiz and congratulations to everyone who participated!

Thanks for the quiz snowman it was good fun. I'll take 16= as somebody who doesn't have a great knowledge outside of the little area which I live in.

21st . Scuppered by not knowing the operations of one of my home garages well enough! Good quiz and 29 participants, what a great response!

Have corrected some answers, as I copied down wrongly from PMs
Also corrected N551 and Highams Park so few people have moved up or down ranks
As it was for fun, not changing results again, as it has been time fairly consuming collating and scoring nearly 500 answers

Darn, some last minute mind changes led me to lose few points 😂 First quiz, so I was stressed as hell - I didn't get any wrong answers though (phew!!), so I guess that matters

I'd have done much better if I hadn't gone for Birkbeck (tramlink qtn) Ditto! Birkbeck was the culprit for my 18th position, otherwise I would've at least been in the top ten. It's funny how sometimes the majority resort to the most 'unique' answer thinking no one will pick it, not selecting the more 'common' answer which would potentially give more points. Reverse psychology

If I bothered to do some research for the railway crossings question, I'd have definately been first place! Something was screaming in the back of my head to jot the 111 down at Hampton but it would've been too obvious I felt. Should've gone with the 216 instead Heavens, the gap in my bus knowledge is showing!!

Thanks very much to Mr. Snowman for hosting the quiz and taking the time to make it all happen. Top stuff! I was quite pleased with my result as I could have gained a lot more points quite easily. I was hesitant to put Westbourne Park on Q2 as it's the name of a bus garage too and might be more in the minds of people. With the Tramlink question I deliberately didn't pick Birkbeck as being probably the most obscure one, could be one people went for. I used the opposite logic on the K5 level crossing though and it backfired massively. I was pretty surprised how many people put it.....
With Q6 I was originally going to put the 401, and glad I didn't. Also me trying to be clever cost me on the Blackfriars Bridge question! I thought that the 388 - having been discussed on here a lot recently - was a bit of an 'obvious' choice so people wouldn't put it! Another wrong turn.....same with Q12 I had a feeling that I shouldn't put the 365, the surburban nature of it being one people could pick.
Using a mix of thinking styles for each question (as you can tell), it half worked I suppose - there were various questions where I changed my mind last minute before sending in, some for the best, some not so.......
Thanks again Snowman for that, great fun, cheers!
