Guess the Station...

[Peter Mugridge]

Thefab444 wins. It's Stoneleigh.

Sorry jrhilton - you jumped for the wrong one out of the three you put in a single post; I did hint at 21.52 that the correct answered had been posted, but not offered... I guess you didn't see that in time?


To answer your question about Epsom, all that happened then was that the glass in the canopies was replaced. The framework is still the original 1930s stuff. And as a point of interest, the final two uprights on platform 4 at the country end still have WW2 shrapnel damage in them - as far as I know, the only remaining visible shrapnel damage on the system ( unless anyone knows otherwise? ).

Floor is open.

Okay, it's taken me a fair bit of time and effort to find a picture and scan it, edit it etc, so I hope this is worthwhile!!

Reminds me of the very pleasant journey I had across the Pennines a couple of years ago. Would it be Accrington by any chance?

 

[185]

Nah accys not single line or island platform. The headlight gives it away. That's Wales or Scotland I reckon.

 

[Track Basher]

It would be Aberdare.

When confirmed the floor is open.

 

[paulravuslante]

It would be Aberdare.

Ardderchog! Aberdâr it is!

 

[jrhilton]

It looks like the floor is open?

Can we link to photos on the internet or do we have to upload our own? Assuming we can link how about this:

Ystrad Mynach

 

[jrhilton]

Ystrad Mynach

No, it is not Ystrad Mynach, but I can certainly see the similarity between the two.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Rhymney?

 

[Track Basher]

Treherbert?

 

[jrhilton]

Not Treherbert or Rhymney either. I shall give a clue, it is not in Wales.

 

[atomicdanny]

Dorking West?

 

[jrhilton]

Dorking West?

Blast, I’ll have to try harder next time. You are correct, it is Dorking West.

 

[atomicdanny]

To be fair though I had recently been through there

anyway next picture (probably very easy!)

 

[steamybrian]

Belmont (Surrey)

 

[atomicdanny]

Nope, not there

 

[IanPooleTrains]

A third rail branch line station?

Well that narrows it down a bit!

If going to guess.....Newhaven Marine

 

[steamybrian]

Try

Banstead
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
On the "Southern Region" there are very few single platform stations with a third rail.

 

[atomicdanny]

Neither, although I think that you've forgotten another part of the country , its not in the Southern area!

 

[IanPooleTrains]

I've gone and done it again :roll:

Okay rethink!

Not P1 at Rock Ferry is it?

 

[sprinterguy]

Kirkby?

 

[steamybrian]

My thoughts are now for.. Kirkby (Merseyside)

 

[sprinterguy]

If the bracketed county is to be a deciding factor, then I'm stuffed :? I'm referring to the Merseyside one too, just so y'all know...

 

[4SRKT]

I agree that it's Kirkby.

 

[atomicdanny]

Kirkby?

Yep, your go

I checked the names, according to National Rail (and wikipedia) Kirkby is the only one that is actually just called "Kirkby" the rest have an extra part to their names, e.g Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Kirkby-in-Furness, West Kirby or Kirkby Stephen.

 

[sprinterguy]

Ok, give me a few minutes...

...Here you go:

 

[Track Basher]

Tipton.

 

[Mojo]

I agree with Tipton too.
