Guess the Station...

[Peter Mugridge]

Let's start by guessing Plymouth.

 

[Cowley]

I'm going to try Sheffield? No idea though really.

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Is it Newton Abbott?

 

[Merthyr Imp]

All incorrect so far.

 

[alex17595]

I have a feeling it might be on the ecml somewhere, so maybe Darlington?

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Not Darlington.

 

[Cowley]

York?

 

[richard1976]

Doncaster??

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Not Darlington, York or Doncaster but getting nearer.

 

[Cowley]

I'll try for Peterborough?

 

[cactustwirly]

Selby?

 

[Merthyr Imp]

I'll try for Peterborough?

Gone past the junction.

Not Selby either.

 

[FQ]

Nottingham?

 

[Cowley]

Is it Lincoln Central?

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Not Nottingham or Lincoln.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Surely not Grantham?

 

[Cowley]

Oh blimey. Grantham? No. Retford (I know it isn't)?

 

[OxtedL]

Skegness?

 

[Track Basher]

Norwich

 

[185143]

Newcastle Central?

 

[Merthyr Imp]

All wrong so far.

A further clue:

A year or two prior to the date of the photograph there would likely have been a Deltic on that working.

 

[FQ]

I doubt it is but Leeds?

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Wakefield Westgate ..... or Wakefield Kirkgate?

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Not Leeds or anywhere in Wakefield.

 

[Capybara]

It doesn't look like anyone has said Newark and it doesn't look like Newark but I'll say Newark anyway. Northgate.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Not either station in Newark.

 

[Cowley]

What about Gainsborough Lee Road?

 

[Merthyr Imp]

What about Gainsborough Lee Road?

No, I don't think there was ever that amount of trackwork and signalling at Lea Road.

 

[Strat-tastic]

Grantham.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Not Grantham.
