For D6975 question-
Only a fragment of the platform ramp to identify the station.
First guess...Doncaster..?

Correct! I thought it would take like 20 people to get it lol

D6975, was that Doncaster?

I personally have no idea, as I can't see any station in that.

 

[D6975]

Not doncaster - no wires - here's the full frame

[D6975]

Not Loughborough.

From where I was standing I could see loads of other trains.

Sheffield? A total stab in the dark.

[alex17595]

I have got to try harder on these!

Correct!

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Just for a change I will take the floor.

Where might this "slug" be?

 

[steamybrian]

Epsom platform 4 (Up Waterloo line )


...open floor if correct...

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Good grief - I thought the angle chosen would hide that for a couple of days!

How did you...?!? Obviously you've either been here a few times or you just happened to see me taking the very picture recently..!!

Anyway, you have declared open floor, so... over to whoever.

A little trade secret-

I worked for BR (Southern Region) for over 30 years which involved visiting stations and site meetings to plan future work. Afterwards worked for a railway contractor for 3 years doing a similar job which included being paid to take photographs of stations....!!!!!
Not all the time because sometimes I was working in the office at my desk.

Hopefully this will be a large image:

Right, that looks like an EMT HST. I'm currently trying to find a station on the Midland Main Line that has that unique building outside it!

 

[alex17595]

Nottingham?

 

[Buttsy]

Nottingham?

Correct

 

[alex17595]

Open floor because my attempts are rubbish

 

[ValleyLines142]

Ah Nottingham! Of course!
