[Track Basher]

Middlesbrough

 

[EbbwJunction1]

Two guesses ..... Huntingdon or St Neots?

 

[alex17595]

Northallerton

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Not Northallerton, Huntingdon, St Neots or Middlesbrough.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Maybe time for another clue although it might give it away.

In a sense the best guess so far is Skegness, although not necessarily in terms of geographical proximity

 

[alex17595]

Berwick upon Tweed?

 

[FQ]

Scarborough?

 

[OxtedL]

I was also wondering Great Yarmouth

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Not Berwick, Yarmouth or Scarborough - but by a process of elimination...?

 

[alex17595]

Bridlington? Surely we will get there eventually.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Bridlington? Surely we will get there eventually.

But not there yet!

Bear in mind I said Deltics used to work trains there.

 

[asylumxl]

North Berwick?

Literally a wild stab in the dark since it once had more platforms and is on a branch off the ECML

 

[Cowley]

Cleethorpes? Have we had that yet?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Hull?

 

[OxtedL]

I have no idea, there's not a lot in the photo to go by.

Lowestoft?

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Cleethorpes is correct.

Service is to King's Cross via Lincoln St Marks and Newark. A year or two before you might have seen one of these (seen at the terminal end of the platforms).

 

[Cowley]

That took some getting.
Assuming it's me then. Where's this?

 

[A Challenge]

It looks like the car park been resurfaced and they've run out of white (or yellow) paint for the road line painter!

 

[steamybrian]

My "line" of thinking...
Southern Railway "Exmouth Junction" style concrete fencing.
The architecture is I believe "Mock Gothic" which was much favoured by the LSWR.
I therefore consider it is one of the stations west of Basingstoke but at present unsure which one...? I may have of course be completely wrong..!!!
(As I just going out for part of the day I will leave for others to consider further)

 

[Merthyr Imp]

My guess is somewhere like Tilehurst.

You're definitely right about it being west of Basingstoke.
It's not Tilehurst Merthyr Imp.

Crediton

 

[Dhassell]

Okehampton?

 

[Cowley]

Okehampton?

Sorry DH, Brian gets it.

Well done. Here's the original, taken from the road on the up side.
Over to you.

Sorry, the phone ran out of charge while I was replying.

 

[paulravuslante]

Try this.

 

[steamybrian]

Recognised it immediately as the up side waiting shelter at ..

Penshurst

(Can recommend the pub adjacent to the station "The Little Brown Jug" which I have visited many times).
