Guess the Station...

[Track Basher]

I think you can just make out the top of the overall roof at the end of 8A. At least I can in the original snap...........

I took another photo of 40122 heading under Holgate Bridge. There's a lad of about 15 or 16 in it holding a camera and wearing a white T-shirt and dark blue jacket? It it you? Unfortunately I haven't scanned that shot and can't as I don't have a scanner (have to take batches of shots to my sister's house in York when I go there and gradually digitise the collection).

I was older that that at the time.

I have just realised it is not the same tour. I was there in the very last run to York when it went into the NRM.

Lets try a bit of third rail.

This was 9th March 1985.

Correct answer

The date I was in York was 16/04/88

Indeed. The disused platform to the left was intended for when the line was extended through to Leatherhead, but Greenbelt land between Chessy and Leatherhead stopped it ever being built. The right hand platform has been in used for roughly 60 years.

NB - My caps lock ain't working, sorry for the grammar.

Here, one of the nicest stations I have ever been to in a truly spectacular part of Britain.

One of the nicest? It's a bus shelter!! I wouldn't ever go to St Pancras if I were you; your head would probably explode with excitement!

Nice pub next door; the platform on the other side backs onto a beautiful river, and you can see for miles and miles over the beautiful East Country ruralness. I think the bloke who owns the old station house is an enthusiast, don't quoute me on that, but apprently he told my dad the times of the HSTs through there when he was photoing after me. What a beautiful part fo the world.

Fair play Bri, well done

 

[Track Basher]

I would have been at that forever.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Just waiting for Brian now

 

[steamybrian]

Sorry for the delay ..went offline..!
The floor is open.....

 

[Track Basher]

OK I will throw another one in.

 

[MCR247]

Don't know why, but I'm thinking Kirkham and & Wesham?

 

[Track Basher]

Not Kirkham

 

[steamybrian]

Ribblehead

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Garsdale

 

[Track Basher]

Ribblehead

Brian steams in again with the right answer.

Thought it might confuse you as the platform in the other direction had not been built. You could only stop in one direction.

I presume Brian wants to throw the floor open again. Someone else want to have a go.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Damn right someone wants to have a go and let's take a trip back in time

 

[Matt Taylor]

Walsall.

 

[Track Basher]

Altrincham

I was torn between Walsall and Altrincham.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Walsall.

well at least you got it right and not thumper boy!

 

[Matt Taylor]

Thanks IPT!

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Hmmm

I'm gonna guess Guildford

 

[Crossforth]

Clapham Junction?

 

[Track Basher]

I am fairly sure it is not Guildford.

The railway looks as though it is in top of the booking hall.

Vauxhall

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Brixton?
