Guess the Station...

[ls2270]

Ah apologies I was thinking of the one in Cornwall on the Looe branch! Forgot about the one in Oxfordshire…sorry to interrupt! Just noticed the spellings are different too.

No worries at all - thought that may have been the case.

Well, here we go with a new station. Your first clue is that it is further north than Penzance

Just to narrow it down then - can we assume its further South than Thurso ?......

I will give you more than that, its further south than WICK!

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Further west than Lowestoft?

Crickey, thanks - that rules out Georgemas Junction.

(Am I correctly ignoring the Wick in Somerset ?)

Further west than Lowestoft?

Good question, I was thinking it might also be worth checking if its further East than somewhere like - erm Penzance.

There is something familiar to me about this station. Its a staggered platform but either side of a bridge rather than a level crossing. No ramp at the tempting end and looks like a new platform. I could be way off course as it could be a four track railway with tracks out of shot to the left - then I think i see a bit of a steel bridge to the right. Which brings me back to somewhere like Marsden ?.

It definitely has a bit of a West Yorkshire vibe, but beyond that I am stuck.

That is indeed south of Wick and North of Penzance .

Thanks. The clues helped.

Try this:

 

[yoyothehobo]

Bramley (Hampshire)

 

[Merthyr Imp]

It's not anywhere in Hampshire.

 

[yoyothehobo]

It's not anywhere in Hampshire.

20mph sign, its got to be in Wales

 

[Merthyr Imp]

20mph sign, its got to be in Wales

Well, to narrow it down quite a bit, it's not in Wales. And is not that recent.
