Guess the Station...

[159jim]

Nope Ian, nor the UK's buisetst railway station, Clapham...

 

[Matt Taylor]

Bristol TM surely?

 

[Ivo]

Could well be, but there's so much blacked out that the canopies don't look quite right...

Can we have a non-Bristol/Bath question now? Even if they are (mostly ) a doddle to me?

 

[IanPooleTrains]

East Croydon?

 

[142094]

No idea.

In answer to Ivo before mentioning possible stations for an EMT HST - surely you must know by now that York only has 11 platforms (not 12)???

 

[Ivo]

No idea.

I honestly thought it had 12. Shows how long it's been since I was there last :cry:

 

[159jim]

Bristol TM surely?

Is the correct answer!

Well, before it had 11 it had 15, but this may have been before you were born!

 

[Matt Taylor]

Finally!

First one I've got right for ages.

 

[159jim]

Tamworth

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Yep, gotta agree with Tamworth

 

[Ivo]

I would have to agree with Tamworth, and for that matter so does Wikipedia (I looked because I felt sure it was right and knew I couldn't win this one).

Well, before it had 11 it had 15, but this may have been before you were born!

If Wiki is anything to go by I would have been a foetus when the work was done!

For the attention of Matt T: Without meaning to be rude, maybe it's time to update your signature? The Fotopic link is redundant...

 

[Matt Taylor]

Tamworth it is.

Had a much harder one but didn't fancy being up half the night 'babysitting' in case someone got it.

 

[159jim]

Ok then!

 

[Ivo]

Am I the only one who thinks he seen this shot before? :?

 

[Matt Taylor]

Especially for IPT.


Basingstoke?

 

[159jim]

Nope.

 

[Track Basher]

We have had this one before it is Salisbury. If you remember we ended up having a length discussion on what the unit was behind because I insisted it was a SWT 158/9 and no one believed me.

The floor is open I'm off to bed.

Sorry Jim I did say I recognised it...

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Oh no, you are not the only one

Especially for IPT.

Where did I put that shotgun?

 

[Ivo]

All right then; let's put another up. I'll leave it up, even if I doze off; if someone has declared it and others agree on it, play on without me. And then I can punish you all if the general consensus is inaccurate!

Advice for Jim: Keep a record of every picture you use. I have done so as well, and have also recorded how difficult the shot was to suss. My best to date was this blurry bugger from Frome, as correctly answered (eventually!) by 4SRKT, which I have recorded as "Insanely difficult!!!". It was also the first time I had earned the right to post a picture and not taken an open floor!

I agreed, someone said it was a 172

 

[Matt Taylor]

Looks rather GWRish to me.

Bristol TM (again).

 

[Ivo]

All in favour of Taylor not being allowed to answer "Bristol TM" any more?

For the second time in a couple of hours, Bristol TM is correct. That was probably too easy in all fairness.

I've done Bristol TM before haven't I? And even worse is the fact that I won the right to post it courtesy of my best ever guess in this thread...

For the record, that was my 25th picture in this thread (see below for a few stats). I probably only earned about ten of those though

Closest to Southend: Grays
Closest to Bath: Bath Spa
Most distant station from Southend: Pembroke
Most distant station from Bath: York
Most northern station: York
Most eastern station: Felixstowe
Most southern station: Brockenhurst
Most western station: Milford Haven
Number of English stations: 22
Number of Welsh stations: 3
Number of Scottish stations: 0
Most common Station Operator (TOC): First Great Western (6)
Number of Station Operators (TOCs): 8
Number of OHLE stations: 8 (one also 3rd rail)
Number of 3rd rail stations: 4 (one also OHLE)
Number of non-electrified stations: 14
First station alphabetically: Aldershot
Last station alphabetically: York
Number of Day shots: 23
Number of Night shots: 2
Stations to have appeared more than once: Bristol Temple Meads

Obviously, these stats are only accurate as of 02:04 on the morning of 27th March 2011 (so literally four minutes after the clocks went forward), so they may well change in due course. In particular, for the most northerly station I have to be York is quite disappointing, so I guess a jaunt up north is on the cards when I my sister pays me what she owes...

 

[Matt Taylor]

Can't believe the same place came up twice in one night.

Floor open.

 

[Ivo]

That was part of the idea; who would expect somewhere to crop up twice in such a short period? Although, to be fair, Temple Meads isn't exactly "small", is it?

 

[lukeobrien02]

if the floors open then

 

[lukeobrien02]

here should be easy

 

[transportphoto]

Thats the c2c last blue train?

 

[paulravuslante]

here should be easy

Laindon? Open floor if correct.
