Guess the Station...

[clagmonster]

Harringey Green Lanes

Track basher has already tried that and it was wrong.

Oops, sorry, missed that.

How about South Tottenham, then?

 

[OxtedL]

Leyton Midland Road?

This is the closest so far.

 

[Deerfold]

Wanstead Park?

 

[clagmonster]

I will fill in the other hole with Leytonstone High Road.

 

[OxtedL]

Wanstead Park it is. This is a shot from wiki which shows the surroundings a bit more clearly.

Here's the original.

 

[Deerfold]

My first win (through grim determination!)

Let's see how hard this is...

 

[Crossover]

Perth?

 

[madannie77]

Dumfries.

Open floor if right.

 

[Deerfold]

Dumfries.

Open floor if right.

You're making a habit of that.

Yes, Dumfries (Car Park) from NRE's "stations made easy". Shall be up there in September.

 

[madannie77]

I go to Dumfries quite a bit, and the car parking under the old bay platform canopy sticks in my mind.

Although I said open floor, I am now able to post an image myself:

 

[steamybrian]

Gillingham (Dorset)

open floor if correct

 

[madannie77]

GIllingham (Dorset) is the place, as it looked in 1985.

 

[OxtedL]

Sorry about the masterful photography...

 

[dzug2]

Erm haven't you left the name in? Or is it a trick question?

 

[clagmonster]

I can definitively say that is not Streatham Common. It all looks very clean and possibly even new build. I don't recognise it. I'll have a stab at Mitcham Eastfields without much confidence at all.

 

[OxtedL]

It's not Mitcham Eastfields.

 

[Track Basher]

Haggerston

 

[OxtedL]

It's a Southern Metro station.

 

[clagmonster]

I'm at a bit of a loss here. I figured it was in the South Central suburban area, but I don't recognise it. Sutton?

 

[OxtedL]

Mitcham was substantially closer than Sutton.

 

[clagmonster]

They're only about 3 miles apart!
Mitcham Jn?

 

[OxtedL]

A really helpful clue might run: only one station named so far has direct trains to this station.

 

[clagmonster]

I think att stations Sutton-Wimbledon-Streatham (exclusive) are managed by FCC.

To be nearer to Mitcham than to Sutton, I think it must be north of Mitcham.

Anywhere with a direct service to one of the Mitcham stations has a direct service to both of them, so it either has a direct service to Haggerston or Sutton. I believe that all stations with direct services to Haggerston are managed by Borris, with the possible but irrelevent for the clue example of West Croydon.

So, we are looking for somewhere with a direct service to Sutton. Gipsy Hill?

Bat & Ball

Good thinking, not that one.

 

[clagmonster]

West Norwood? It can't be anywhere north of Streatham, I don't think. I may very well kick myself if this is wrong, because the other possibilities are all places I really should recognise.

 

[OxtedL]

Keep looking...

 

[clagmonster]

Right, I think we have 4 possibilities remaning. I will go through them in ascending order of the levels of embarassment I will feel at not getting them. First off, Selhurst?
