Guess the Station...

[Ivo]

Milton Keynes Central.

For the second time, I'm going to bed. Don't put one up I'll get please

Another one taken on Saturday. I'm not going to post the uncropped version, because several RUK members (including Mojo among others) can be seen in it!

 

[Track Basher]

An now for something different.

 

[12CSVT]

Sinfin Central ?

 

[Track Basher]

Sinfin Central ?

Well that didn't last long.

Correct answer.

 

[12CSVT]

It's a long time since we had a picture of a kettle on this thread

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Goring & Streatley

 

[Track Basher]

Chorlsey

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Grrrrrrrrrrr, got Cholsey and G & S mixed up................... not fair

 

[12CSVT]

It looks like we have a winner, even if the station name was spelt wrong. Cholsey it is.

Question is should this one go to Track Basher (for guessing Cholsey first) or MattE2010 (for getting the spelling right)

 

[Track Basher]

Very fair.

Matt E you can have it I'm off to bed.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

As grateful as I am to TrackBasher for the gesture, I'll pass over to floor open as it's bedtime for me

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Bagsy!

Probably easy, but here goes:

 

[MCR247]

Eastbourne?

 

[4SRKT]

Bromley North

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Neither I'm afraid - although you have both correctly identified that it's an SR terminus station...

 

[4SRKT]

Hayes

 

[IanPooleTrains]

HAstings?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Sorry, neither! ( Hastings is also a through station ).

 

[4SRKT]

Addiscombe

 

[atomicdanny]

Caterham?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Addiscombe

Is correct, so I can go to bed now!

 

[4SRKT]

Next up:

 

[flymo]

Meadowhall?

 

[4SRKT]

Meadowhall is correct. That didn't last long.

 

[flymo]

I remember it well, waiting for the Barnsley train last year.

Floor open.

 

[4SRKT]

Try this then:

This may, just possibly, be a Northern Irish station that I recognise: Portrush?

 

[4SRKT]

Portrush is the one! Compare the track with this picture! At least the lovely somersault signal is still there though, albeit normally locked out of use.

[sprinterguy]

Wow, the station looks like it’s been tidied up considerably in the last twenty years! There’s only a couple of Northern Ireland stations that I can easily recognise, from photos I’ve seen in the past, and Portrush is one of them (though none with the trackwork looking that rickety!).

Ok, here’s a silly one for the next go:

Tweedbank ?
