Guess the Station...

[Track Basher]

I can't see any overheads but it looks a bit like Carlisle

I'm not saying Leeds as I don't think the APT ever wandered over this way

All is not as it appears this photo explains.

I presume this was taken in 1984 and the APT was on its way to the ECML for testing ?

Anyway I should have a photo up in about 15 - 20 mins

Is the correct answer. En route to the ECML for high speed tests with 2 x Class 37. 37292 (AKA 37425) and AN Other if I remember correctly.

Pure fluke just happened to be there at Leeds.

Don't feel too bad it was 27 years ago and that view has changed a bit.

[Ivo]

Bicester Town I believe...

 

[Track Basher]

Slough?

 

[Matt Taylor]

'tis neither Bicester nor Slough.

 

[Ivo]

If it's not Bicester, it's Henley.

(Right?)

 

[Matt Taylor]

Still no.

The bay platform being used was a through platform in years gone by.


I'm early turn tomorrow so if there is no correct answer by 2200 I'll have to leave the thread until tomorrow.

Basingstoke.

Floor is open.

 

[4SRKT]

It hasn't been said that Basingstoke is correct yet!

 

[4SRKT]

It hasn't been said that Basingstoke is correct yet!

So it hasn't. I got swayed by the 'floor is open' comment. Still, I reckon it is Basingstoke myself I have to say.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Basingstoke.

Floor is open.

That, Sir, is the correct answer!
