00's Heardle New link https://www.00s.heardledecades.com/

00's Heardle Old link https://2000sheardle.glitch.me/

Failed on both the 2000's, Failed on the original and the 60's (never heard of the track or artists)

Success with
70's (8 seconds) we are due to be looking after a family Labrador of the same name today :-D
80's (2 seconds) another one suitable for the Pickled egg Jukebox mainly vocal/spoken intro club.
90's (12 Seconds) a quite forgettable version of an iconic song, by instantly forgettable artists

So 3 out of 6 or 7

Fail on all but seventies, three seconds and partial success with Nineties, right song, wrong band.

Another bad day for me, 12secs for the 60s and a complete blank on the rest barring vague recgnition of the 80s. #-o

Have a go at my railway stations of the day then Mick, and anyone else of course.

I believe the first one looks like Durham where I attended an OU Summer School but the second one rings no bells at all? Maybe a little guidance could help? :-D

If I haven't made a tremendous cock up with the photos, the first one on the left is indeed Durham, the other one should be probably about as close to home for you as a Station gets!

While the architecture in number 2 is very similar to Hertford East I cannot place that actual picture? Am I on the right line? :-D

Personal curiosity led me to take the MX3 on its weekly runout via Hertford East to see if I could actually reproduce the picture in Neil's post. My first two pictures show the station as you would pass it by when driving down the street:

But if you park and walk over to those big arches you are greeted with:

Not much change from the picture in the book but as you will have noticed there is a fair amount of development work going on at the moment:
