To celebrate the Community Rail Network awards, highlighting achievements by so many people in extending and promoting the use of rail, especially to diverse and hight to reach groups, and especially on services where bums on empty seats can be added, and lines where extra services would be a real help to (potential) passengers and the economy of the area served ... I bring you "spot the difference" from last year's award ceremony, picturing the creme de la creme.

I think that might be almost the lot - I recall making 4 changes on one image and 6 to the other in setting up these pictures.  But the 5th and 6th changes are probably not the sort of thing you might regard as "spot the difference" type alterations, and you'll probably accuse me of being a pedant with one of them.

OK - I'm up to 9 now. The 10th is eluding me at the moment.

Would the 'pendantic difference' be anything to do with the slight cutting off of one of the corners?  Grin

The eight "regular" differences are highlighted here:



No. 9 - which Phil has spotted - if the slight shearing and offset between the two pictures which was added in to thwart those members who use picture differences software to automate this quiz

No. 10 is a meta-difference in that the two pictures have different URLs - kinda needed as they are different images and cannot share a web address.   This was the one I expect members to tell me is pedantic.

Good luck this evening to all of those who are shortlisted and going along to the event. Remember that it's quite some achievement even to be shortlisted ... you are all winners, and have all made a difference to your communities!.

I guess, then, the white spot on the back wall to the right of the green screen at the left hand side is an unintentional difference?   Wink
