Courtesy of the Old Oak Common Facebook page is the attached cryptic quiz list of railway maintenance depots. A little brain teaser to pass the time. Print it off and have a go.

To avoid answers being posted here I'll lock the thread for a few days. *Unlocked*

I think I worked them all out (doubtful on one)

Are you going to post the answers and rely on our honesty for scores?

Save paper - if you are running Windows open it with "Paint", then you can type in your answers.

I've got 20 so far !
