Guess the Station...

[Matt Taylor]

Stafford is nearer the 40s home ground, and that looks like the former north parcels bay.

You the man, photo taken in 1982 on the other side of platform one where a car park now is and, where the parcels bay is.

Your go!

Here we go then:

 

[NXEA!]

Random guess, Grantham?

 

[Chapeltom]

Darlington

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Rugby?

 

[12CSVT]

Stetchford ?

 

[Matt Taylor]

I may have to call an early end to this one, I have it down as Bletchley but that doesn't seem right. It's a Euston-Liverpool fast in December 1986 but the 31s are being attached for a drag through a dead section due to engineering works.

Given that I can't be sure of the answer I'll open the floor somebody else.

Okay, got another one and expect this to go quickly:



There are reasons for the shrinkage

 

[VirginTrainFreak]

is it wolverhampton

 

[IanPooleTrains]

It isn't Wolves

 

[MidnightFlyer]

I'm sorry, how are we meant to guess that?

 

[VirginTrainFreak]

It isn't Wolves

i meant for the peds.

Nope. tell you what, I'll extend it out a little bit and then let's see how quick you get it!

 

[Broken Viking]

I've just loaded the full-size image up here, and I'm still not 100% certain as to it's location! Given the Southern unit in the background, I'm going to guess at London Victoria.

[Death's tip for competition images no 47: When posting a photo edited from Facebook, remember to remove the Facebook UID from the filename beforehand! ]

Oh, and the floor's clear for anyone to post if I have got it! (Given I've managed to trace the original image, I reckon I have! )

 

[Matt Taylor]

That is the Southeastern side of Victoria.

 

[Track Basher]

Here we go then:

I am fairly sure this is Nuneaton.

The current one is Victoria.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Yes it is London Victoria and after that, keep my mouth shut, what I have to say is not for young ears on this forums!

 

[Matt Taylor]

So who's turn is it now?

 

[ainsworth74]

Well seeing as you're here and TB isn't I would say you!

 

[IanPooleTrains]

I will say that it is your turn Matt, Death is not going to have a turn because of his 'cheating' ways!

 

[Track Basher]

Can't post at present on a mobile.

 

[Matt Taylor]

I didn't want to be the one to say anything but it seem a little wrong to post the whole image like that. Ok, so my turn means this won't last long I expect.

 

[Track Basher]

That looks like Paddock Wood.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Havant.

And floor is open if I'm right as I'm at work and you won't want to wait 7 hours for the next entry will you?

 

[Matt Taylor]

Told you it wouldn't last long.

Havant it is, March 1999 I think.

I will say that it is your turn Matt, Death is not going to have a turn because of his 'cheating' ways!

Cheating, my rear-end! I can't help it if ye forget to remove a Facebook photo ID from an image and I pick up on it like that! Anyone else could've done the same as I'm sure ye'll agree.

Besides...I think I tried to leave the floor open after "guessing" that station anyway.

Death - have you got my PM?
