Not Porth I'm afraid.

OK, that just does a bit more than halve it

 

[Loppylugs]

Ok, point taken It's in Essex !

Crikey, didn't expect it to last this long.

Sounds like a change of direction in front of this station could soak me.

It's in Essex and the change of direction is left to right. Giveaway !!

[Loppylugs]

Yes John ! Change left to right and I get rained on. Over to you.

Thank you!

The man and his value can be seen at this station.

Giving it a random shot -- the man is Mr. Hale -- Halesworth ??

A good shot, not a bad shot at all, but a miss.

I often feel sad at the dwindling big-time of Britain's rail network, compared to what there once was; but have to admit that I'm glad we're not playing this game a hundred years ago. There'd be just too many dratted stations to wade through alphabetical-list-wise -- it's bad enough nowadays !
