Guess the Station...

[Buttsy]

Llandudno Junction

 

[alex17595]

Better give you another clue before people get bored.

This station doesn't have a service to Manchester.

 

[richard1976]

Hope (Flintshire)

Gobowen?

 

[Track Basher]

Hawarden.

 

[alex17595]

Seems to getting further away.

 

[alex17595]

This one has gone on long enough. I will reveal the answer in 24hrs.

 

[Cowley]

Newport? Absolutely no idea but worth a wild stab in the dark.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Is it in the Valleys?

Let's try Bargoed.

 

[alex17595]

None of those

 

[RJ21]

Pontypridd?

 

[Strat-tastic]

Treforest

 

[alex17595]

Think of some quieter stations

 

[RJ21]

So far we know, the station is not in North or East Wales by way of the colder and colder still clues; it is not one of the nearly 65 with services to Manchester Picc; the concrete platform and block work suggests it was rebuilt in the 80s (eliminates most of the HoW & Cambrian), but the brick structure says it was there long before then; weeds growing says quiet; view suggests two platforms or a vantage point outside of the railway opposite; seats at the very end of the platform suggest short overall length; bollards suggest adjacent car park with unimpeded level access from that side; steel palisade type fence suggest not too rural.

Pantyffynnon?

 

[185143]

I agree with Pantyffynnon. (I'm sat on those seats right now I'm 100% sure!-Im waiting for the 19:01 Shrewsbury!)

Pantyffynnon?

Spot on!

 

[185143]

Definately Pantyffynnon. Do I get bonus points for saying you took the picture from the crossing!!

 

[RJ21]

It wasn't easy to find, I spent a lot of time thinking it was in the valleys.

Here's the next, I expect it will not last anywhere near as long, when I boarded the train at this station I had it entirely to my self for the next couple of stops.

 

[FQ]

Ashchurch?

 

[RJ21]

Not there.

 

[185143]

Busby?

 

[RJ21]

No, it isn't Busby.

 

[Gathursty]

Gleneagles?

 

[RJ21]

No not there either.

 

[Kite159]

A random guess at Fauldhouse?

 

[RJ21]

And you'd be correct, Fauldhouse mid-afternoon on Easter Monday.

 

[Kite159]

That footbridge looked familiar when I had a 45 minute rest there in April after doing the walk of Breich. No doubt this one will go straight away

 

[Crossover]

Something makes me want to go Falls of Cruachan (if that's how it's spelt!)

 

[185143]

Coombe? (Or is it Combe?) The one on the Oxford-Worcester line anyway!

Lympstone Commando?
