Guess the Station...

[Cowley]

Great photo!

Evesham?

 

[A Challenge]

Indeed, but why is the 2+7 HST stop behind the normal (2+8), and the sign in some foreign language.

I am quite pleased about the photo as well.

 

[Cowley]

That is strange about the sign. It’s hard to think of a pithy reply without coming across as a bit un PC (and I don’t mean Power Car).
Photo coming in a mo.

 

[Ash Bridge]

Must be that a fair percentage of the Evesham population is Polish these days perhaps? Could the HST plate refer to the class 180 Adelante trains?

 

[Cowley]

Hmm. Quite pleased with this one. I’m sure no-one will get this quickly ...

Oh yeah just come on here being the voice of reason Mr Bridge ...

 

[Ash Bridge]

Now that looks really familiar......sorry Mr C, only joking!

Well a couple of glasses or so of Pinot grigio do help I suppose

I don’t know how hard this is but feel free to give it your best shot.
If you get it right first time I’ll buy you a return ticket on the West Somerset when you come down next...

This is a tough one Mr Cowley, but with a free return ticket at stake I'm trying my damned hardest!

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Surely that can only be Sunderland?

 

[Cowley]

No return ticket on the WSR for you I’m afraid Peter...

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Good grief! You mean there's a second station with a glass wall like that?! *scratches head*

 

[Cowley]

Good grief! You mean there's a second station with a glass wall like that?! *scratches head*

Hahaha. I’ve got some of these in my hall. But it’s not Cowley Central!

I'll tell you what Peter, if Mr Cowley is offering to buy us a free return ticket then he must be 100% confident that non of us stand an earthly chance of naming this one

 

[Cowley]

I honestly thought you’d have got it straight away.
No clues this time though I’m afraid...

City Thameslink?

 

[Cowley]

City Thameslink?

No not there.

 

[Gathursty]

Manchester Airport?

 

[paulravuslante]

Looks like platform 6 Paddington.

 

[Cowley]

Looks like platform 6 Paddington.

Very good.


Over to you Paul.

 

[paulravuslante]

Very good.

Over to you Paul.

I’ll leave it open as I feel bad about this one. I work at Paddington after all....

Hahahaa!

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I'll take it - here's an untweeted one from my archives.

 

[Cowley]

What a great photo. 50011 too. The first 50 to be withdrawn...
Due to it looking like 011 is passing at speed I’ll have a go at Taplow?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Not Taplow I'm afraid.

 

[Cowley]

Hmm. I reckon it’s somewhere around there.
What about Burnham?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Well, I will grant you that it is on the line out of Paddington given that this was 1979, but it's not Burnham either I'm afraid...

 

[DanNCL]

Langley?
