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?

Errm, not terribly well but I think I got half a dozen (does that sound better than 6?).

Print it off and have a go.
Save paper - if you are running Windows open it with "Paint", then you can type in your answers. I've got 20 so far ! |

I don't have all the answers. Only the 16 I've worked out myself so far. |

I'm stuck on 8 and 25. So if BNM doesn't have the answers, what do we do next? |
