Here are a dozen pictures I've taken this year - one in each month of the year.  Can you place them, and work out which month they were taken in?

6. On the Piccadilly line (blue grab poles); maybe at a signal stop between stations (the doors are closed but the freestanding chap in the vestibule has not braced himself for stability); and underground (no daylight outside and there are clear reflections from the windows).  Spring or autumn, from the wide range of clothing layers.

6. Is a Victoria Line train, and the only one of those you are likely to have been on is parked at the LTM’s Acton Depot. On that basis, 20th September.
