Have to go for the obvious Epsom.


If by some miracle that is correct it is open floor. Off to bed.

Sorry for the rant this morning but it has been a good night tonight as the game has flowed anong well

All wrong so far, but certainly some ingenious humour there. :)

You've all missed the most obvious clue so far: The cats are not going to be where they are if that stock was in service and about to move off are they?

Work out the implication of that, and you'll probably get it within minutes.

It's not a preservation thing. Just because the stock wasn't going anywhere doesn't mean it was withdrawn.

I think Danny has worked out the reasoning, although not the location.

Folkestone Harbour?

Open floor in the unlikely event that I'm right.

Southend Vic would've been my guess, but as far as I know there's only one.

Let's say Guildford. Not the foggiest why. Open floor is correct.

Nobody has it yet.

I am off to bed soon ( here until about 00.20 ) and will next be online sometime tomorrow morning; I will try to check at around 10.30.

Should things grind to a halt before then, feel free to hold an interim game and I'll post a further clue at 10.30 ( or whatever time I can get on to check ).

I reckon it's not 3rd rail electrified (or it's not live at least). Weymouth Quay. Floor open.

And with five minutes to go before I shut down, we have a winner!

It is indeed Clacton. :)

For the record, the cats are resting on 309 601.

Bloomin heck. Dunno how i managed that. Absolute guess.
I have to admit to looking up 309s on wiki (overhead slamdoors seemed a good bet) to see if it looked anything like your pic, and so went from there.
Not bad considering i said i didnt have a foggiest

Anyway, next pic up in 5mins

It's definitely not Ravenglass (staggered platform) or Workington (centre roads). Millom looks like a good shout though.

I'm a bit stumped. It looks Furness Railway to me, but I know that well enough and I can't place it at all.
