Stations of the Month

Starting in October 2021, on the 1st of each month we randomly select one station in each of the categories below. The winner is the person who takes the most creative selfie at that station during the month - there will be a thread for each month in which to post them. If there are multiple entries by the end of the month then Patreons and staff will vote on which they think is the most creative. The selfie doesn't have to contain the station name, but if it doesn't it must still be clearly recognisable as the relevant station. Except for stations in more than one category (e.g. ones served by both National Rail and London Underground), where the picture must be of either the part relevant to the category selected or of a common part of the station, there is no restriction on where on, in or outside the station the selfie is taken.

After a year there will be a small prize for the person with the most points in each category, and maybe some bonus prizes too (still to be decided).

The categories are:
