Guess the Station...

[gnolife]

Swinton South Yorkshire

 

[hairyhandedfool]

Nope.

I think you were slightly closer, geographically speaking, with Dronfield.

 

[Buttsy]

Duffield?

 

[gnolife]

Elsecar?

 

[Buttsy]

Actually, could it be Kiveton Park?

 

[hairyhandedfool]

No.

I see where you are going with this and I have to say that the EMT HST is a bit of an anti-clue, you wouldn't normally see one within about 40 miles of this station, though you could see EMT services, on certain weekends.

 

[gnolife]

Eccles?

 

[hairyhandedfool]

Bingo! You've got it.

 

[gnolife]

I knew it was a Northern station with a name similar in length to Burnage or shorter, or else a name similar in length to Navi Road or longer because of the sign there. Eccles was just a lucky guess I suppose, having never actually been on a stopper there (I'm always on the first stop Newton services if I'm on the Chat Moss route)

 

[Temple Meads]

Pontypridd?

 

[gnolife]

Not Pontypridd

 

[clagmonster]

The blue on the posters does suggest an ATW station and the green paintwork is a very similar shade to the former Valley Lines colour scheme. It feels like a terminus, so I am going to have a punt at Treherbert.

 

[gnolife]

It's not Treherbert.

 

[clagmonster]

Merthyr Tydfil

 

[gnolife]

Not Merthyr. All services at this station operate as through services.

 

[clagmonster]

Porth?

 

[gnolife]

Not a good sign when I have to google the station to find out where it is

 

[Buttsy]

Stourbridge Town?

 

[gnolife]

Clagmonster was correct in going for ATW stations.

 

[Track Basher]

That would be Runcorn East.

 

[gnolife]

That would be Runcorn East.

That would indeed be Runcorn East. The photo quality is a bit rubbish because it was 7 in the morning and I was knackered. And I still had a full day's bash in front of me

 

[Track Basher]

Try this one:

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Perth?

 

[hairyhandedfool]

Port Talbot Parkway?

 

[Track Basher]

Neither of those

 

[gnolife]

Poulton-le-Fylde?

 

[Track Basher]

Nope.....

 

[hairyhandedfool]

Would I be right in saying the station in question doesn't begin with the letter P?

 

[Matt Taylor]

Looks like the former TPO sidings in the background which would make it Swansea.

 

[Track Basher]

Mr Taylor has it Swansea is correct.
