Guess the Station...

[Ivo]

Geographically speaking, Taylor's guess was the best. But given that his station is in a huge expanse between the various London guesses and Brockenhurst (and Didcot), that isn't saying much. And that's all you're getting for a clue at the moment.

 

[NXEA!]

Winchester?

 

[317653]

Salisbury?

 

[clagmonster]

I think it's a two-platformed station, not an island. I agree it is Southern but not so certain on the Western division part. Christchurch?

 

[Matt Taylor]

I am reasonably confident that it isn't in the zones, and it isn't on the Portsmouth direct line.

Wokingham.

 

[Ivo]

I did Wokingham quite recently remember? This does not look that similar to Wokingham.

However, of the latest round of guesses, MT is again the nearest. Whether Wokingham is closer to this station than Frimley though, I am not going to say.

Ascot

 

[Ivo]

Nay...

 

[Matt Taylor]

Ash Vale keeps popping into my mind but I am far from confident that there is a footbridge at the vale.

Nevertheless I put forward Ash Vale as my next offering.

 

[Ivo]

I don't know if Ash Vale has a footbridge either!

 

[Matt Taylor]

Bentley.

 

[Track Basher]

I am out of ideas with this one.

 

[Ivo]

OK; clue time.

The station is somewhere in the physical area defined as "Basingstoke - Reading - Sunningdale - Woking - Alton - Basingstoke" (i.e. find a road map and look at places in that area; including the lines around the edge such as BSK - RDG [which is obviously wrong because that's FGW]).

 

[NXEA!]

Bracknell?

 

[Ivo]

Nope.

 

[Matt Taylor]

I'm pretty certain it isn't Bracknell.

Camberley?

 

[Ivo]

Is the correct answer. You must be annoyed knowing you were so close the first time.

 

[Matt Taylor]

I am, it looked so unfamilliar I figured it must be on a line I haven't done for years which is why Aldershot to Ascot came into my head.

Open floor folks!

 

[Track Basher]

OK I will do my go from earlier.

Keeping the southern theme, some southern region traction

 

[NXEA!]

Eastleigh?

 

[Track Basher]

Not Eastleigh

 

[NXEA!]

I just noticed the lack of juice, silly me. Salisbury?

 

[Track Basher]

Still no

 

[steamybrian]

That canopy looks like Great Western design so I suggest somewhere off the Southern Region.

Hmmmmmm

 

[Ivo]

Surely not Reading?

 

[Track Basher]

Surely not Reading?

Surely not.





No.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Looks Scottish to me.

Perth

 

[NXEA!]

Newton Abbot?

 

[Track Basher]

Looks Scottish to me.

Perth

Is the correct answer.
