Oh, classic!

Methinks I know where to go for this... Ooh, hold on a sec; on this definition I can just go to Bath Spa! But, the staff there are [insert pluralised curse word here].

Actually, a question if I may. How is a station such as Barnt Green not small, when a station such as Chelmsford is small?

 

[Lampshade]

I think it's small by definition, just not by size. Wakefield Kirkgate has three platforms but I'm pretty sure it's medium/large :?

 

[mumrar]

I set the topic, and basically the number of physical platforms is the restriction. In this case a and b will count as seperate because trains can use them seperately.

 

[Buffer68]

Great topic - have quite a few possible images for this. Does there need to be a train in the picture?

 

[Jordy]

No, there doesn't

 

[Aictos]

Interesting, have to certainly enter this one if not for the rose tinted regiment!

Do elaborate?

Just a few NSE era ones that a colleague took of my station which with his permission I hope to submit.

Never mind the fact I was being sarcastic as well,

The photo submitted should be a photo taken by yourself

Coulkd have submitted them for him until he becomes a member that is but again that would make the entry invalid.

I think I may have one photo available but need to check around.

I went out today to get a shot, problem is I left it too late when I arrived, the shots with the flash (after asking permission and making sure no trains were there) ended up grainy as the flash was ineffective in lighting up the whole station. The camera used night mode to take ones without the flash and they've ended up blurry as hell :cry:

Two words of advice for you then:

Try again!
I still haven't got a shot for this compo yet. I had planned to go to Avoncliff, but the timings there are lousy (along the lines of trains from Bath arrive about 20 minutes after trains to Bath and the service is two-hourly!). Then I planned to use Oldfield Park - with a shot of an HST passing through - but then I thought, "Too obvious it's me!" Really am quite stuck on this one.

If the winner is the most obscure then I have this covered

But it won't be.

That would've been fine, sometimes it is possible to guess who the entrant is by the location, but thats just tough! The only thing thats against the rules is actually revealing which photo is yours. You won't be able to enter Oldfield Park now though, as you've told us all

Yes, well, I've taken two shots today, one of which will be entered. The other - which was actually Oldfield Park! - was awful. The first was actually quite good, if I'm honest - at least, that's my opinion...

 

[mumrar]

The first rule for yourself should be you like what you got, and you enjoyed doing it. People think I'm such a perfectionist, but I like getting every single thing right, it's just me. Good luck Ivo.
