Ivybridge?

 

[chrisjo]

Ivybridge?

not Ivybridge

 

[chrisjo]

Llansamlet

Yes, Llansamlet is the right answer.

 

[paulravuslante]

Yes, Llansamlet is the right answer.

Thanks, that was my local station years ago.

Where is this?

 

[chrisjo]

Are there any clues in the picture at all? Anyone recognise the logo on the sign on a pole partly obscured by the trees?

 

[paulravuslante]

Here’s another pic of the same location.

 

[Trackman]

Here’s another pic of the same location.

Lostock?

 

[paulravuslante]

Lostock?

That’s the one!

 

[Trackman]

That’s the one!

It's the platform under the bridge that did it.
Think last time I went, those houses were not built.

Open floor

Shall we give this a try then?

(Oops, wouldn’t load!)

now working - sorry about the rather crude covering up of the station sign

Ryder Brow?

Ryder Brow?

Not there.

(I’ve also never heard of that station!)

 

[Class15]

Seems like we need a bit of a hint here.

The railway line that appears overgrown is still in use, although it looks very abandoned!

 

[chrisjo]

Yes, shiny rails, weeds. We got that! Are those Scotrail lamposts?

 

[Class15]

I will give you a further hint and say that this image is not in Scotland.

 

[OxtedL]

I'll try Brigg
I don't think it is Brigg but wondering about that part of the world

Not Brigg.

 

[Class15]

Another hint:

It is a Northern station.

Total Mickey Mouse guess this...

Walt Disley.

floor open if correct

Excellent work! Open floor then.

 

[chrisjo]

OK, this one should be considerably easier. It's unique in a number of ways, not least the fact nowhere on the station can you find a board with its name on.

 

[Class15]

Hellifield?

 

[chrisjo]

Not Hellifield, but you could get from Hellifield to here with only two changes.

Given that sign seems to say "Stena Line" I'm going to go for Fishguard Harbour, given I believe it's their station rather than TfW's?

Fishguard Harbour it is. Owned by Stena, not Network Rail, no sign saying 'Fishguard Harbour' anywhere on the station and, most bizarrely, the only station in the UK where smoking is still permitted on the platform.

Where did I come across this semaphore signal?

Not there

Harrogate?
