One Hundred Thousand And Two views gents!

No correct guesses yet.

We are on page 458, that is a clue. (And it's a 59 not a 66 btw).

 

[Track Basher]

Reading then

 

[Matt Taylor]

That clue was a dead giveaway.

Over to you TB.

 

[Track Basher]

Following on from last night's comment we have something special for MT.

Enjoy.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Doesn't count, the picture has been manipulated.

 

[Track Basher]

Don't try to get out of it.

The picture has been enhanced.

A clue I think is required. The photo was taken less than a month ago.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Falls Of Cruachan.

 

[Track Basher]

Not a bad first guess................... but no

 

[DavidL]

I'm going to go for Lochailort, though am not super confident. In fact, I'm preparing my next guess as I type

 

[Matt Taylor]

To be honest I have no idea, this bit of the country is not exactly my forte.

 

[Track Basher]

No....see below

Clue number two: It was taken from a train and the loco on the front was 67007 again! It was on last time I did the route.

 

[DavidL]

No....see below

Am I directed to your Fort William trip - as such, am I right to interpret that as - "right line but too far north"

 

[Track Basher]

Yes... Another clue above.

 

[DavidL]

Spean Bridge?

(You may have cracked my guessing algorithm )

 

[Track Basher]

Spean Bridge?

(You may have cracked my guessing algorithm )

Is the correct answer.

When I did the sleeper over 12 month ago the 90 was 035 and the Fort William was 67007. Same two locos 3 weeks ago.

Normallity will now resume.

 

[DavidL]

Cheers TB!

Recognised whereabouts we were in the country from the shingle and post, but as my time up there was mostly spent between Ft. William and Mallaig, I must admit, the exact station was a bit of luck and thanks to the clues

Anyway, here's mine - an easy one, and still continuing the ever popular Northern 156 series! Apologies if you can make out the station sign in the 156 windows - I checked, but might've missed one.

Don't bet on it, you're the one that started talking about station cats were you not?!

That's Preston I think.

I knew when I said that I was going to regret it.

Today's trivia the station cat at Preston only used to have three legs. Got run over by a train.

Yes definately Platform 5 Preston (looking South)

 

[northernrail]

Carlisle??

 

[DavidL]

Preston is correct - well done Matt!

TB - I'm afraid I can't find a tripedal cat in my clip-art or I've have gone back and suitably "enhanced" the picture

 

[Matt Taylor]

Open floor if I'm right!

 

[Track Basher]

Try this then:

 

[DavidL]

Yes definately Platform 5 Preston (looking South)

A bonus point for TB for identifying the platform correctly. Further GTS bonus points would've been given for identifying the 156 as "William Huskisson MP", and that this photo came from the same day as the (also easily guessed) Buxton shot. These £10 Northern Rail rovers are good value

 

[Track Basher]

Unfortunately too slow. Didn't get in quick enough.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Stockport.

 

[Track Basher]

Not Stockport

There is a clue to the general area on the signal box.

 

[MCR247]

Ipswich?

 

[Track Basher]

Not Ipswich

 

[Matt Taylor]

The NSE sign on the signal box should have made it clear that Stockport was a stupid idea.


Cambridge?
