Guess the Station...

[atomicdanny]

The station looks southern so I guessed a station with an Island Platform (and the first one that i'd thought of was that).

Pictures removed - Open Floor

The reason no-one has guessed this yet must be because it's so horribly easy. I wouldn't want to spoil the fun though, so I'll just say Monks Risborough instead, to give everyone else a sporting chance.

Open Floor

 

[Peter Mugridge]

At least tell me where it was please, because I didn't recognise it!

It was Swinton (Manchester)

I quite enjoyed yours; no-one else bothers with Kent! Hope you'll still pop in to answer though

It was Swinton (Manchester)

What's so "horribly easy" about that?

 

[Matt Taylor]

I didn't answer because I had no idea where it was, I've never used that station in my life so it was never going to be easy for me.

 

[David Goddard]

I actually thought that pic was really difficult too. Started looking at Southern region locations then realised there was no third rail! so gave up!

OK then, if open floor, try this one...

Gospel Oak?

 

[Track Basher]

I also had no idea with the previous one either.

Let's open the batting with Hackney Wick.

 

[clagmonster]

I think Gospel Oak is a goos shout, there is evidence of a passage to the Barking line. However, as it has been used, I'll say Caledonian Road & Barnsbury.

 

[David Goddard]

madannie has it!

Yes this is Gospel Oak, taken 19 March last year, a day when NNL trains were terminating here due to engineering work, hence I had enough time to snap the train before it went back!

 

[madannie77]

Let's try this one.

 

[Ivo]

A quiet, almost rural station in Juice Land. Lenham?

 

[madannie77]

Not Lenham

 

[Track Basher]

Sandling

 

[madannie77]

Not Sandling either

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Shawford?


Floor open if it is.

 

[madannie77]

Not Shawford.

It is not as rural as it looks.

 

[Anon Mouse]

East Grinstead?

 

[clagmonster]

I'm unsure whether the rear loco is another crompton or a shoebox. If the latter, I wonder if the 3rd rail is being tested, so I'm going for Sanderstead.

 

[madannie77]

It is not Sanderstead or East Grinstead.

Having looked at the full size image, I am certain that the second loco is another Crompton.

 

[clagmonster]

Ore??

 

[madannie77]

Not Ore.

Two other photos I have which were taken in the same place have trains bearing headcodes 44 and 45.

 

[steamybrian]

My first guess is..

Mottingham

 

[madannie77]

NOt Mottingham, but you are on the right lines

 

[steamybrian]

New Eltham

Clue is...
Headcode 44 Charing Cross- Maidstone West via Sidcup
45 Cannon Street- Maidstone West via Sidcup

 

[madannie77]

Not New Eltham either, although you have the right route.

 

[steamybrian]

3rd guess is

Crayford

 

[madannie77]

Crayford is right: looking east from beyond the footbridge. Although the shot is 20 or so years old, that end of the station and the view looks pretty much the same (according to Multimap & modern shots I have seen).
