Guess the Station...

[NXEA!]

Pitsea?

 

[Track Basher]

No one right yet

Ivo, what is the visual difference from a 310?

New Barnet?

 

[HST Power]

Welwyn North?

 

[Track Basher]

Not New Barnet

 

[clagmonster]

Oakleigh Park?

 

[Track Basher]

Not Welwyn North either
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
I can't keep up here

Still incorrect.

 

[NXEA!]

Gidea Park? Could we have a clue?

 

[Ivo]

Based on the livery and thus the age of the picture, if it was a 310 it would have had 3 cars and/or wrap-around windows. This has neither.

My next guess is Witham.

 

[clagmonster]

If Oakleigh Park was wrong, then New Southgate?

 

[Track Basher]

OK

A clue: Where else had an allocation of 312s? The picture was taken in 1986 at ...... oops nearly.

 

[HST Power]

Wild guess, Hitchin.

 

[Ivo]

Could potentially be on the Birmingham WCML, I guess. Although I doubt it, could it be Birmingham International?

 

[Track Basher]

Ivo you are getting nearer

You are not the nearest, but second nearest, I think.

 

[NXEA!]

Bescot?

 

[Track Basher]

Not Bescot probably the equal nearest without getting the miles and chains off the bookshelf

 

[Ivo]

Northfield

 

[clagmonster]

As far as I am aware, they have been allocated to (in order):
Hornsey, Bletchley, Ilford and East Ham. You say where else, so I'll discount Hornsey. in 1986 the 305s/308s/302s were still going strong on the LTS, so I'll discount East Ham. Similarly, the 305s and 309s were still going strong on the Great Eastern and I don't think Ipswich was wired by then, which leaves Bletchley.

The layout doesn't look right for southern WCML, Brum Cross City wasn't wired by then. The layout could fit International, I wan't around then so I don't know how much was developed there. Birmingham International?

 

[Ivo]

I said that already

 

[clagmonster]

Ivo's been wrong with International while I was typing, Duddeston?

 

[Track Basher]

Ivo shows his age and drops a clanger. Cross City was in the hands of Pressed Steel DMUs in 1986. Had yet to be electrified.

 

[NXEA!]

Marston Green?

 

[Track Basher]

Not Dudderston,

Clue Number two: This location is not in the West Midlands.

 

[Ivo]

Ivo shows his age and drops a clanger. Cross City was in the hands of Pressed Steel DMUs in 1986. Had yet to be electrified.

Or lack thereof

I realise that now. I've had a strong day in this thread, and then I go and do that. D'oh!

I'm wondering if Stafford may be right. I do suspect otherwise though.

 

[Track Basher]

Ivo nearest so far.

 

[NXEA!]

Norton Bridge?

 

[clagmonster]

I wonder how far north they got. Acton Bridge?

 

[Track Basher]

Neither of those

 

[clagmonster]

Edge Hill. I would have thought up there would be entirely 303s/304s, but you never know and I am running out of other ideas.

 

[NXEA!]

Rugeley Trent Valley?
