Guess the Station...

[richard1976]

Corby

 

[OxtedL]

It has a lot of the features of a new station, e.g. on the Ebbw Vale line. But I can't think of anything that fits.

Pye Corner?

 

[clagmonster]

I haven't a clue, and seeing as I think it is coastal, let's go for Dhu Varren.

 

[OxtedL]

That would potentially explain a lot.

 

[Buttsy]

Nope, none of those

 

[clagmonster]

Larne Town?

 

[Buttsy]

Larne Town?

Nope. It's not in NI.

 

[OxtedL]

So is it UK mainland?

 

[clagmonster]

So is it UK mainland?

I think it has to be now in order to fulfill the rules of the quiz.

Newcourt?

 

[Buttsy]

Yes, UK mainland, but not Newcourt.

Closest so far are Pye Corner and Newcourt for different reasons

 

[clagmonster]

Pembroke?

 

[Buttsy]

Pembroke?

Nope.

The station is mainly served by ex-BR stock.

 

[clagmonster]

Penmere?

I have to get lucky at something tonight, surely.

 

[Temple Meads]

Lymington Town?

 

[richard1976]

Lymington Town?

Can't be there is no 3rd rail

 

[Buttsy]

Lymington Town?

Nope, but closest for one reason

Penmere?

I have to get lucky at something tonight, surely.

Close for another reason

 

[clagmonster]

Falmouth Town?

 

[Track Basher]

Reddish

 

[Buttsy]

Neither of those

 

[FQ]

Ebbw Vale Town?

 

[Buttsy]

Still no.

Another clue?

 

[FQ]

Yes please!

 

[Buttsy]

This station is in the old NSE area

 

[OxtedL]

Would it be fair to say that that limits it to one of:
Worcester-Oxford
Monks Risborough
Sudbury Branch
Chandlers Ford
Weymouth-Castle Cary
Windsor & Eton Central edit: or Henley/Marlow branches
Ore-Ashford
Hever-Uckfield
Edit: or Exeter Central-Salisbury

or have I missed somewhere former NSE, single track, no electrification, or perhaps something in the picture?

 

[clagmonster]

There are a couple of other Thames branches missing from your list. Marlow, Henley, Greenford and Bicester spiring to mind.

Let's go for one of those and punt wildly at Islip.

 

[Starmill]

Pre de-construction Islip didn't look anything like that.

Nor do Shiplake, Wargrave, Furze Platt or Cookham.

I don't think anywhere on Exeter - Salisbury is that short, let alone made of that platform construction. Same goes for Oxford to Worcester, and the curve and weeds make me think its not there either.

Chandler's Ford and Monks Risborough certainly don't look like that, and nor do Thornford, Yetminster and Chetnole.

It isn't Greenford, and nowhere else on that line is single-platform.

The station signs are so small they look like FGW to me. Where on earth has a platform that short...

Give up for the evening Are you sure it's in the Network area?

 

[Buttsy]

As everyone is struggling, here is another angle of the station:

 

[steamybrian]

Denham..?

 

[Buttsy]

Nope.

The station has 3 platforms, the 3rd, which was my initial picture, is in the top left of the latest shot.

Theale!
