Guess the Station...

[Lad Brookes]

Not Doleham, is it?

Well done
You are correct.

It is such a remote station that this morning I spent an hour touring the country lanes navigating with an ordnance survey map trying to find it.....!
There are only a few daily trains that stop there so difficult by rail.

Anyone else photographed it or even used it..?

 

[Lad Brookes]

I've been through it a few times (not since most the trains stopped calling at all stations), but never got on or off.

I'm a semi-regular on the line as I drink in the Red Lion about a mile from Appledore station (superb pub of another era if anyone's ever in the area) as often as I can get down there. Used to go up and down the line from Ashford to Hastings for fun when it had proper trains on it (there's more than one Thumper fanatic on this thread!), but now only use it to get to Appledore from the Ashford end.

The sound of the Thumpers resonating across the marsh was quite something.

Oh, and floor open- I'm not on my home PC.

Howdy people.

[IanPooleTrains]

Holla at my boy!

Is that Llandudno Junction?

 

[paulravuslante]

Not Llandudno Jct.

 

[steamybrian]

My first guess is..

Pontypridd

Long Shot but Warrington Bank Quay, not been there for ages so cant remember it that well

 

[MCR247]

Isn't that electrified?

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Isn't that electrified?

I was just thinking that myself.

Uh-oh, me and MCR agreed on something, world's gonna end!

Is it Prestatyn?

 

[northernrail]

Oh ye, Stupid Me:-x

 

[Lad Brookes]

The brickwork looks like Maidenhead- but there's probably plenty more examples of stations like that.

 

[paulravuslante]

Nobody's got the right answer as yet.....

 

[Chapeltom]

Rhyl?

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Island platform, non electrified.....

Nottingham springs to mind but MCR247 would probably shoot me down!

So I'm gonna guess @ Burton-on-trent

Rhyl?

Having been to Rhyl a few times, i can assure you it's not there

 

[Chapeltom]

Oh it was Prestatyn I was thinking of, and it isn't there.. haha. Been on the NW Coast line many times anyway, should have known. Anyway, not a clue.

 

[paulravuslante]

Still no correct answers.

 

[Track Basher]

It looks very North West England or North Wales.

My guess is Wrexham General.

Halifax

 

[paulravuslante]

Halifax

Not Halifax. How come you've decided to stray (technically) from North West and Wales?

 

[Track Basher]

I am allowed to if I wish.

Fair enough. Still incorrect I'm afraid.
