[clagmonster]

[OxtedL]

S'th'one...

Next up:

 

[richard1976]

east croydon
floor open if correct

 

[clagmonster]

Not East Croydon.

 

[OxtedL]

Basingstoke?

 

[Ivo]

Portsmouth Harbour

 

[Matt Taylor]

Yep, that's Brunel House in the background.

 

[clagmonster]

Portsmouth Harbour

Is the correct answer.

 

[Ivo]

I recognised it as PMH pretty much immediately, but I have to say that I would have had it even if I didn't. You can make out "London Waterloo" and "...mouth & Southsea, Fratton, Havant" on the PIS monitor-thing - where else could it be?

Anyway, here is my latest offering. Keep in mind that my access tomorrow may be somewhat erratic.

 

[clagmonster]

Oops, I didn't think any of the PIS was legible, aside from possibly the time. Sorry about that, you must have better eyesight than eye do. In future, I'll blur them come what may.

I get the feeling that your new one is now an unstaffed halt but has seen better days. Dawlish?

 

[Ivo]

Sorry about that, you must have better eyesight than eye do.

You said that before - and this was my response (from Guess the Bus Station):

I actually have pretty poor eyesight - I'm short sighted and wear glasses. However, I do have a bit of a knack for noticing odd little details like that, which does not correspond with my poor sight. This isn't the first such instance of this either.

Supposedly, people with AS have sharper (if not necessarily better) senses in some cases. This would explain why I can still pick out things like this in spite of being short-sighted. It also explains why I can distinguish bus engines in amongst other vehicular engines, even if the sound is only faint. (Most people I know at University are amazed by this apparent "ability"...)

I get the feeling that your new one is now an unstaffed halt but has seen better days. Dawlish?

You are correct in your evaluation, but Dawlish is staffed I believe.

 

[clagmonster]

Burntisland?

 

[Ivo]

Not there either. We could be here a while.

 

[Track Basher]

It looks Scottish to me.

Dunkeld and Burnham

 

[Ivo]

It isn't Scottish. Or Welsh, before anyone tries that.

And as stated previously, it is unstaffed.

 

[Track Basher]

St Germans

 

[clagmonster]

Menheniot. I feel that we are in the West Country.

 

[Ivo]

We aren't in the West Country.

The options are narrowing thick-and-fast.

 

[clagmonster]

Danby?

 

[Ivo]

Not Danby.

This station is served by NIR

 

[Track Basher]

Portadown

 

[Ivo]

Not Portadown. This station is less prominent than that (and *presumably* unstaffed, which I expect is not true of Portadown).

 

[OxtedL]

Castlerock

 

[Ivo]

Si...

 

[OxtedL]

Did you mean sí?

 

[chrisdoward]

Peckham Rye

Open floor if correct.

 

[OxtedL]

Yes, it's Peckham Rye.

 

[Clip]

Ill grab a quick one for the morning folk.

ill be up around 1400 to check back..

 

[clagmonster]

It isn't the Abbey Line platform at Watford Jn is it, taken from a clever angle to avoid any evidence of OHLE.
