| | 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. |

| Stations of the Month is our way of inspiring '''your''' adventures. Each month, we'll randomly choose seventeen stations across Great Britain and five stations across the Netherlands from our pre-determined regional categories. All you have to do is visit as many of them as you can and snap a photo or selfie - remembering to make sure that the station is identifiable, of course! - and share it via social media using the hashtag <code>#OOLSotM</code> or on our [[Discord]] server in the dedicated thread in the {{discord channel|#challenges-on-our-lines}} channel. Plus, as always with ''[[On Our Lines]]'', there's some cheeky bonus points available too - read on to find out how you could earn them...
| |
|
| |
|
| Your photo can be taken with any part of the station - it could be inside, on the platforms or even from a passing train! We just need to be able to identify where you are without too much sleuthing! However, where a station is shared between different 'modes' of transport (for example [[National Rail]] and [[London Underground]]), be sure to feature the right part if you want those points!
| | 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). |
|
| |
|
| Have you got a bit of a creative flair? Then why not aim for some bonus points? You could take [[:File:Therapia Lane - Chris.jpg|The Rapier to Therapia Lane]], eat an [[:File:Eccles - Charley.jpg|Eccles cake in Eccles]] or [[:File:Bayswater - OOL.jpg|join one of our social events]] - let your imagination run wild! The most creative entry at the end of the month will be judged by our [[Patreon]]s and [[staff]] team, and you'll be awarded a nice bonus on our leaderboard.
| | The categories are: |
| | [[File:SOTM-{{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}.png|frame|The stations of the month for {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}]] |
| | # National Rail - subdivided by region: |
| | ## East Midlands (Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland) |
| | ## East of England (Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk) |
| | ## London (City of London and Greater London) |
| | ## Manchester, Merseyside and Cheshire |
| | ## North of England (Cleveland, County Durham, Cumbria, Lancashire, Middlesborough, Northumberland, Stockton and Redcar and Tyne and Wear) |
| | ## Scotland |
| | ## South Central England (Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and Oxfordshire) |
| | ## South East England (East Sussex, Kent, Surrey and West Sussex) |
| | ## South West England (Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire) |
| | ## Wales |
| | ## West Midlands (Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Midlands and Worcestershire) |
| | ## Yorkshire and the Humber (East Riding of Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire) |
| | # London Underground and DLR |
| | # Light Rail and Trams (excluding the DLR) |
| | # Heritage (including heritage tramways) |
| | # Bonus (one station that received no entries when it was a station of the month in one of the categories above) |
|
| |
|
| At the end of the year we'll tot all the points together and the person with the most points in each category will win an exclusive prize - and maybe there'll be some other treats on offer too! But remember - it's all in good fun and what we ''really'' want to see is where your adventures and imaginations take you! If you want to share any stories, tips or memories of your journeys, we would love if you added them to the relevant station's page here on [[B:A|Bradshaw]].
| | The current stations of the month are displayed in the image above, and in text format in the Google Sheets document linked below. To submit your photos just find the current month's thread in the {{discord channel|#challenges-on-our-lines}} channel on Discord. The full list of current, past and future stations in each category are also in the Google Sheets document. |
