Guess the Station...

[Track Basher]

One of the best station names that if you want buy a ticket. Prenounced Come Back.

As in a single to "Cwmbach"

No....

Go for it only one left.

 

[OxtedL]

Aberdare?

 

[Track Basher]

Is the correct answer.

Pen ri khyber (as in Khyber pass)

 

[OxtedL]

What was it doing up there? Also, I thought Aberdare had buildings...? I must be in the wrong decade.

I was close with that pronunciation.

 

[Track Basher]

That was the year it re-opened can't remember without checking possible 88 or 89. There was no ticket office when it first opened. It is now on the left of the picture half way down the platform.

 

[OxtedL]

Ah, that explains it.

Also on my list of questions is why the hell didn't I just work my way around the top of the valleys until I got close enough rather than ending up naming everything?!!

Anyway, keeping a theme...

 

[clagmonster]

Ebbw Vale Parkway?

 

[OxtedL]

Wrong line.

 

[paulravuslante]

Maesteg (Ewenny Road)

 

[OxtedL]

'Tis the one. http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/sjp/MEW/images/photos/800/o2491-0000004.jpg

1400 to go.

 

[paulravuslante]

Checking your link, the photo is of Maesteg. Whereas my answer was Maesteg (Ewenny Road).

Does that count as void as you revealed the answer technically before the correct answer was mentioned?

 

[OxtedL]

I have no idea what you mean. (apologies to clagmonster...)

I fully intended to put MEW up. They're all identical anyway.

Hey, Paul, I don't suppose you know what this one below is?

 

[paulravuslante]

Maesteg.

Now I've won. Open floor (for now).

 

[OxtedL]

Now that I've edited the last two hours into a frankly unrecognisable form, I'm off. Someone have a good one up for tomorrow.

 

[paulravuslante]

On ya go:

 

[OxtedL]

Kintbury?

 

[paulravuslante]

Not Kintbury

 

[OxtedL]

Appleford?

 

[paulravuslante]

Appleford?

Marginally better, but still not the one.

 

[OxtedL]

Cholsey?

 

[clagmonster]

It looks new build. Aylesbury Vale?

 

[Track Basher]

Definately not AVP only one platform there.

Charlbury

 

[dzug2]

Ascott under Wychwood?

 

[paulravuslante]

Ascott under Wychwood?

That's the one! The platform on the left hand side is newer than the one in the right.

 

[dzug2]

That's the one! The platform on the left hand side is newer than the one in the right.

And longer I believe

As I don't do photography - open floor

 

[paulravuslante]

Ok, I'll post again

 

[OxtedL]

Heckington?

 

[paulravuslante]

Heck no! You're vaguely on the correct side of the country...

 

[OxtedL]

Because there's the potential for further puns: Lowdham?

 

[paulravuslante]

Turn that ham down. No, you're further away still now.
