Guess the Station...

[scotsman]

Random shot-in-the-dark: Lostock

 

[Track Basher]

IC trains have never at Lostock to my knowledge.

You are the nearest so far though.

Slight clarification. I think this location disappeared from the IC network prior to privatisation in 1995. It was not VT as late as 2002/3. It may have just gone post 1995 but I think it was before.

 

[Matt Taylor]

St Helens

 

[Toad]

Kirkham

 

[4SRKT]

It's St Helens Shaw St.

 

[Track Basher]

Mr Taylor has it.

Specifically St Helen's Central.

That was hard work!

Shaw St! Where have you been living for the last 20 years.

 

[4SRKT]

Balls. Just pipped there

F***ing cr*ppy Sky connection broke twice during my attempt to post that.

[Matt Taylor]

Operation Princess was a red herring!

 

[Track Basher]

It is the 15:10 Edinburgh to Liverpool departing St Helen's.

I can't remember if these trains made it to privatisation. I do remember them operating as 158s for a while.

Windsor and Eton Central?

 

[Matt Taylor]

Not Windsor.

 

[Track Basher]

Operation Princess was the right sort of idea but it just happened earlier.

Brighton.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Gatwick Airport

 

[atomicdanny]

I know that isn't brighton! (i've been there enough times to know that), and it looks a little small for a major airport (Gatwick).

Blackpool North? (probably wrong!)

 

[Track Basher]

I didn't think it was Brighton problem is I don't know where it is.

I know it isn't Blackpool building too old.

Windsor and Eton Central?

I travelled on one in late 1999/early 2000 from Lancaster to Lime Street, operated by a 158.

Hey guys

Wouldn't be Pompey would it? Harbour specifically?

N.B.: I still can't find either of my camera cables, so unless/until I say otherwise, open floor every time I win. I would like to do the first one of said open floor though; got a half-decent shot for you all to try. In other words, the next time I call one right, or steal an open floor, I'm doing it; after that, open floor until I am able to participate properly.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Nobody is yet correct.

Most of you are in the right area of the country though.

This transport interchange station only has one platform in use.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Uckfield?

 

[Matt Taylor]

Not Uckfield either.

It's a coastal station.

 

[Lad Brookes]

Ryde Pier Head?

 

[Matt Taylor]

Correct!

 

[Ivo]

?????

Too slow. And I would have said Esplanade anyway. D'oh.

IC trains used to pass through Lostock when they were diverting over the S&C

 

[Lad Brookes]

First clue is that I went through this station yesterday. Very useful clue!:roll:

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Shelford

 

[Lad Brookes]

Not Shelford, I'm afraid...

 

[Track Basher]

IC trains used to pass through Lostock when they were diverting over the S&C

I was thinking of stopping not passing. The Lostock was non-specific. There are three of them I was thinking Parkway you were thinking Hall. It did not matter as none of them were correct in this case.

Current Guess: Brockley Whins

 

[paulravuslante]

Althorne.

Open floor.

 

[Lad Brookes]

Althorne it is!

 

[DavidL]

Taking up the open floor offer (and particularly liking TB's St Helens shot - that was my first thought but a few now-demolished buildings threw me!)

Have a go at this (continuing my Northern 156 series )

-- may be away from the computer for a bit, so if there's a consensus, or if you're sure you've got the correct answer, feel free to move on. I suspect it'll go first guess
