Guess the Station...

[Track Basher]

Not long being the answer.

Preston is correct.

Went for this as it was allocated the last Glasgow to Manchester from Preston.

56026 Preston to Bolton.

 

[Matt Taylor]

The Royal Mail sign in the background was a giveaway!

 

[Track Basher]

The port of new.

Newport (South Wales)

 

[Matt Taylor]

Ping-Pong.

Your turn TB.

 

[Track Basher]

Have a go at this.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Motherwell?

 

[Ivo]

Kinda looks familiar, but my answer is one I am not-so-familiar with.

Warrington Bank Quay

 

[Track Basher]

It is neither. I have to admit is does look very like Warrington

 

[Ivo]

Could it be somewhere further south, such as Harrow & Wealdstone?

 

[Track Basher]

It could but it isn't.

I will give clues in a while but I just want to make you work a bit first.

There is a clue in the picture where it is geograhically but you need to look hard for it.

 

[sprinterguy]

deleted, missed post above, oops.

 

[Ivo]

I'm thinking that the "clue" is the unit in the background, which is difficult to determine but I am of the impression that it could be a 313 (which is why I chose a location further south, but in practice that doesn't make sense as they used DC on the WCML). Thinking that it could instead be a 315 or 317, I am going to change to the ECML and choose Stevenage.

By "it could but it isn't", do you mean just HRW, or the entire south...?

N.B.: Motherwell has already been.

 

[northernrail]

Do those Trap Points suggest at Yard of some kind???

 

[Track Basher]

Sprinter guy is on the right track.

Should have read the previous answers though. MT has had Motherwell already.

20s were resident in this area at the time of the photo.

 

[Ivo]

Sprinter guy is on the right track.

Pun intended?

Time for a wild-ish guess then...

Cambuslang

I'll pass after this one, and await the next picture...

 

[sprinterguy]

I thought there was the look of an SPT orange 156 in the background, shame I missed the previous Motherwell guess...

 

[Track Basher]

We seem to have now got the right country.

Not Camberslang though.

 

[northernrail]

are the Platform's Bi-Directional? because the DMU and 20 have tail lights.

 

[Track Basher]

Not entirely sure, but probably.

You can work this out.

The route is electrified and has 156s operating down it. And still does today and is in Scotland.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Is it Ayr?

 

[Track Basher]

Is it Ayr?

It is Ayr.

[Matt Taylor]

A little easier perhaps:

 

[Track Basher]

Llanelli

 

[Matt Taylor]

Perhaps a little too easy.

TB takes the floor.

 

[Track Basher]

Where do I live?

Next up:

 

[Matt Taylor]

Walton On The Naze

 

[Track Basher]

Correct answer.

 

[clagmonster]

Colchester Town/St Botolph's?

Sorry, too slow and wrong.
