[Track Basher]

The key is, of course, the identity of the person whose bust is shown, which I don't know!

That said, let's try Stirling?

Open Floor if I'm right.

We have a winner.

(Statue is John Grierson, Narrator of Night Mail.)

This is the night mail crossing the border.
Bringing the cheque and the postal order.
Then the trackwork possession overran.
So they stuck the all post in the back of a van.
And melted the train down, into a can.

Well, that's a surprise ..... but having Googled John Grierson, I see that he was born near Stirling, so a statue of him there makes sense.

Harwarden Bridge on the Wrexham side

[FQ]

I did think that it would take slightly longer to get!

Well done!

 

[FQ]

Ok then, give this one a go. Hopefully it will last slightly longer (but I doubt it)!

 

[steamybrian]

I will throw in a guess at..

..Redditch

 

[FQ]

Nope, it's not Reddich. You actually reminded me that I need to get to Reddich to clear the track and shacks!

We'll try this one I think!

 

[Ash Bridge]

Is it Teesside Airport Station?

 

[contrex]

Non none of those.

EPBs were generally used on the South Eastern Lines. Not on South Central or South West.

A bit late, but EPBs were used on all 3 divisions.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

It it Pilning - or, as an alternative, Patchway?

Open Floor it either are correct.

 

[185143]

Is it Teesside Airport Station?

Certainly is!

 

[Ash Bridge]

Where might this be?

 

[Quakkerillo]

Looks like one of them "eco shelters" from Northern Rail. Accrington?
