Guess the Station...

[Track Basher]

A further suggestion.

Do we also want to but a limit on confirmation of the correct station?

We have been left in limbo where we think we have the correct answer but have been waiting confirmation.

My suggestion is that if 3 people agree that is the answer then the first one to declare is on.

In the event of no one knowing the answer the one hour rule applies again from posting of the original image and the floor is open to whoever wants to post.

I can't remember which idiot started this very addictive game but it might be worth reposting a summary of the revised rules in full. Don't want to start a new thread as 127 pages is quite impressive and let's see how far we go.

I have just checked it was transportphoto. Up to you if you want these additions to the rules on page 1.

 

[Chapeltom]

only came across this thread yesterday! Had a flick through 50 pages worth and couldn't even get chapel en-le frith my home station! Anyway, I agree this game needs some rules...

 

[4SRKT]

The rules are on the first page! People just need to stick to them.

 

[Matt Taylor]

So would somebody like to post an image? I'm on a quick break at work so I can't do it myself.

 

[4SRKT]

This is the only image I've got here. I'm on my lunch break and my dwindling stash is at home. It probably falls foul due to not actually featuring any platforms, but then neither did Track Basher's shot of Attadale. I was standing on a platform (well, ramp....) when I took it though. It might be easy enough by a process of elimination TBF, but if nobody can get it quickly I'll pass over to someone who has something more suitable.

 

[Track Basher]

My attempt is Mossley West

 

[4SRKT]

It's not Mossley West. It is a station opened by NIR though.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Don't know a licking about Irish stations and a guess at Londonderry

 

[4SRKT]

No. Need to wrap this up I guess. It's in Belfast......

 

[IanPooleTrains]

City Hospital?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Long shot, but if it's in Belfast, would it be Melville?


I've never been to NI, by the way...



Edited to add: Oh hang on, I think I'm thinking of a road name near the railway...

 

[4SRKT]

There's no station called Melville, as you've clearly twigged! Nice to stump The Mugridge for once, but less satisfying that this can only be done by using somewhere he's never been before!

Ian has it correct though. Standing on the ramp at City Hospital looking back towards Botanic.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Wow, well done me!



Have a go at this one, should be easy but let's see

Ha ha....

The reason I was confused is that I have a mate over there who lives near one of the lines, so I automatically thought of part of his address....!!:roll:

Out of curiosity I just sent him the picture to see what he thought, as he never travels by train, and he thought Botanic from the background although he did suggest Great Vic rather than City Hospital.


Anyway....

That picture of 45305 - Bradford Interchange?

 

[4SRKT]

Botanic and City Hospital are only 1/4 mile apart. That church spire is actually closer to Botanic station.

Walsall

 

[Track Basher]

I may have bent the rules a bit but someone did get it.

Can't see this one on a mobile.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Walsall is correct Sprinterguy

 

[sprinterguy]

Walsall is correct Sprinterguy

I'm at work, so I've only got one photo to hand that even vaguely fits the bill as an entry, but given that this thread has been keeping me amused throughout it's busy life so far even if I haven't been a regular contributor, and I fancy celebrating my victory, I'll post it up, though I don't expect it to last long:

Here you go:

 

[Track Basher]

Very like Solihull

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Looks a bit like Dorridge as well with that bridge

 

[Matt Taylor]

we had Dorridge yesterday so unlikely I think.

 

[sprinterguy]

No correct answers so far...

 

[IanPooleTrains]

You make a good point.

How about Acocks Green?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Cradley Heath?

 

[Ivo]

I'm going to give an answer I've already given.

Shirley.

(Lol. Using the same one twice in succession!)

N.B.: If this is correct, as with my last guess 17 hours ago the floor is open. I have to go out soon. If, however, this is confirmed before 6pm, then I shall put one up and PM the answer to...

...any volunteers?

EDIT: Ivo has it! Shirley it is!

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Shirley.

Shirley you couldn't be serious?

 

[Ivo]

Second time lucky And once again, sorry about last night. As for "Shirley you can't be serious?" Are you John McEnroe in disguise?

Okey-doke then. I will give this 30 minutes, because I am going at roughly 6pm and will not be back for two hours. So I will need a volunteer to assume the challenge if it comes to that.
