Guess the Station...

[backontrack]

Whoa, really? I'm pretty chuffed, seeing as I've never been to that station or even a single one in Wales.

I just thought about the track layout - I'd seen it recently from The next stations is...! and I new it had recently been altered to become a junction station.

 

[backontrack]

Here's a little something I just cooked up.

 

[Gathursty]

Stow station?

 

[backontrack]

Stow station?

Stow is correct! Your turn.

 

[Gathursty]

You may get this pretty quick after two observations.

Newstead

 

[Gathursty]

Well done! Over to you.

 

[paulravuslante]

Sorry about the delay.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I am pretty sure I have, a few years ago, photographed that very brake van at Shenfield?

Yes, Shenfield is correct.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Thank you.

OK, next up - where is this? And you won't get any clues from the file name I'm afraid, as it won't tell you anything you don't already know from looking at the picture...

 

[Matt Taylor]

Lincoln Central.

 

[Quakkerillo]

I'm about 99.99 percent confident it is indeed Lincoln.

 

[Crossover]

I would also go with Lincoln

 

[Peter Mugridge]

It is - and I realise now that I just missed clipping out a signal plate on the right hand edge!

Did that give it away?

 

[Quakkerillo]

For me it was that I was at this station in July. The very nearby railway crossing, track layout, a Northern pacer, and the works (for the footbridge) made me fairly certain.

 

[Crossover]

It is - and I realise now that I just missed clipping out a signal plate on the right hand edge!

Did that give it away?

Nope - I hadn't even noticed that to be honest!

I can't think of many places that Northern go where there is a layout like that (two throughs and two platform loops and clearly something off behind it)

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Well, anyway, it's Matt Taylor's floor - and I'd like to know what he recognised it from.

 

[Matt Taylor]

I recognised it simply because I'v been there!

 

[clagmonster]

Appledore? The fence looks NSE, I'm not certain if it is the beginning of single line or a trailing crossover in the distance. Platforms slightly staggered.

I'd also suggest Appledore, but seeing as that's been taken, I'll go with Ham Street, which also isn't a bad guess.

Sorry fail to agree..
Both Appledore and Ham Street have staggered platforms.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Both wrong, it's not Southern and the platforms are not staggered although one is significantly longer than the other!

 

[Gathursty]

I think it's an Chiltern station with a big bridge just off in the distance... brb

 

[backontrack]

Ascott-under-Wychwood?

 

[Matt Taylor]

No, but the ground signal I believe is for shunt movements from a junction behind me as I took the picture.

Not Chiltern either btw.

 

[DasLunatic]

I think it's in FGW land...

Exeter St. Thomas?

 

[Matt Taylor]

Right TOC, not Exeter though.

 

[clagmonster]

Liskeard?

 

[Temple Meads]

Something tells me it's more towards the London end... Not sure where though :P

EDIT: Actually, it reminds me of Reading West?
