Guess the Station...

[Lad Brookes]

Water Orton it is! Over to you...

Water Orton it is! Over to you...

hock: I’m actually slightly surprised by that, inasmuch as I’m wondering where on earth the extensive greenery and foliage on the area of platform visible in the pic has gone? I presume that Network Rail have come along and had a thorough de-weeding session since I was last passing through. What a shame.

Ok, have a go at this truly awful composition:

 

[Crossover]

My eyes

Brighouse?

 

[sprinterguy]

It isn’t Brighouse

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Pontefract Monkhill

 

[sprinterguy]

…And it’s not there either

 

[185]

Stocksfield?

 

[sprinterguy]

Stocksfield?

Nope.

 

[Lampshade]

It's a 156 so most likely a station around Manchester... Woodsmoor?

EDIT: Nope, that's a Heaton based unit

 

[Chapeltom]

Davenport.

Open floor if correct.

 

[sprinterguy]

No to both of those

 

[Lampshade]

Well it's on a Northern route that serves Middlesbrough obviously... Seaham?

 

[Ivo]

What are you doing with this Northern pile of.....?:lol;

Just don't let Ivo see it! Stockport?

Too late :roll:

I would have had Lowestoft easily. How didn't anyone else?

As for the current one, let's try Billingham.

 

[sprinterguy]

Ah darn it; I was hoping that the camera shake would be enough to disguise the destination blind. It is true that the move of the guesses across the Pennines to the west took them further away from the answer. It isn’t Seaham though, or Billingham.

Marske?

Only ~650 more posts until this becomes the #1 thread on the forum!

I can very easily foresee it attaining that accolade!

It isn’t Marske.

 

[Lampshade]

Newton Aycliffe?

 

[sprinterguy]

Nope, not Newton Aycliffe.

 

[Lampshade]

Shildon?

 

[Ivo]

Teesside: Officially the largest conurbation in England I have never been in :roll:

Thornaby?

 

[Lampshade]

Thornaby's an island platform.

 

[sprinterguy]

It isn’t Shildon either. Nor is it Thornaby: As Lampshade says, Thornaby is an island platform, but as you’ve never been there perhaps you can be forgiven for your error

Thornaby?

Thornaby's an island platform.

Says a lot, doesn't it? (As sprinterguy suggests.)

Eaglescliffe

 

[Lampshade]

...is also an island platform

Longbeck?

 

[sprinterguy]

Eaglescliffe

Lo and behold, you’ve chanced upon another station in the area with an island platform! So no, not Eaglescliffe I’m afraid.

 

[Ivo]

My next guess would have been Longbeck, but after that...

I'm out.

 

[sprinterguy]

Had I been more pro-active in disguising the destination blind, it looks like I would have been onto an entry that could have kept on rolling for quite some time. I’m quite pleasantly surprised that nobody at all has chanced upon the correct station yet.

Not Longbeck.

 

[Lampshade]

Dinsdale?

 

[sprinterguy]

Nay, not Dinsdale

 

[Lampshade]

Stab in the dark... Teesside Airport?
