It was nice to have gotten a non-local station right at the first attempt. If only Richard hadn't spoiled it be calling correctly at the first attempt as well :(

(In other words, Hucknall is correct.)

Try this.

I'd've never got Hucknall in a month of Sundays. It's one of those annoying stations that make life difficult for line gricers by being on a line that's reopened and suddenly there's more work to do to clear all passenger lines. In other words it wasn't open in my heyday and now I've got to go back to an area I'd cleared before I was at secondary school just to do that bit <(

Aren't 158s overkill on a line like that?

I very easy question but a bit of a treat for regular viewers.

Next Question from Ivo prediction: What livery is that?

The other one is Antrim, I think.

Not Portrush. Come on and get it right so that your 158 can be the only one in play!

About that... I don't know. I like liveries; yet there are so many I don't know.

Random fact about liveries I've spent weeks waiting for the right moment to reveal: This thread's "Unique Number" is 39000. In Bath there is one 07-reg Volvo bus that carries a special livery advertising its greener hybrid build. Its fleet number: 39000.

I believe CDF is correct. Beaten to it <(

I do not believe that Larne Town is correct, but I shall choose it anyway.

It's not Whiteabbey either. Clue needed?

EDIT: Or Holywood or Larne Town (which has only one platform despite being the 'main' station in the town).

What happened to my answer? Am I wrong as well?

If yes, a clue would be appreciated.

@ TB: I haven't seen that before; only a pure overall aquamarine for new liveries. Anything beats that hideous grey though.

OK, here's a clue. The passengers walking along the platform have just got off a train standing in the same platform just behind me.

Coleraine is correct. It's the thumper on the Portrush branch shuttle. We'd all just got off a CAF from Belfast and pulses were racing with the excitement that was to come a couple of minutes later when 457 pulled out!

Looks grim enough to be Dalmuir.

It's those blocks of flats towering over the place. You're standing on the Glasgow via Singer platform.

RU sure? Are those flats in the V then? There's some very like them adjacent to the down platform on the Singer line?

Having said that though, there are some flats very like those everywhere in Scotland.

Is anyone actually going to give us a pic? I want to save my next pic for the next time I'm correct, although if no-one will, then I guess I could...
