Guess the Station...

[ls2270]

It’s neither Hampton Court nor Staines

 

[OxtedL]

Brentford?

 

[ls2270]

Brentford?

No not Brentford

 

[lxfe_mxtterz]

Hampton?

 

[ls2270]

Hampton?

Not Hampton. No one has yet guessed the correct TOC.

 

[OxtedL]

hmmm
Elmstead Woods?

The river segment on the map feels like this should be distinctive but can't place it

No, this isn’t a Southeastern managed station.

 

[OxtedL]

Carshalton?

 

[ls2270]

Carshalton?

Nor is it a Southern managed station!

That's Marlow, going by the shape of the lakes in the map?

Absolutely right! I bet that’s the first time anyone has worked out the answer to one of these that way. I actually thought someone would guess that one pretty quickly! I was going to post this view from the same spot facing the other way if they didn’t. Anyway all yours!

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I figured you'd left the lakes part of the map in as a clue...?

Anyway... here's the next entry; no fiendish editing again - just blanking out anything that would give it away instantly:

Manchester Airport?

 

[lisamerlot]

I think its a very old photo as I was about 5 when trains looked like that. I think this is Avonmouth station?

That is interesting what looks like a one platform terminus but with a buffet and substantial building! Is it still just a single platform?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Manchester Airport?

Well spotted - yes, in 1997 so not long after it opened. It's grown a bit since!

Over to you to flag away the next offering.

Afraid not, because as you can see it's Manchester Airport. I think they'd love to have facilities like this at Avonmouth, though. It would make the railway much more attractive.

It was two platforms at the time; that's not actually a reflection of the train - it's another train on the other side!

 

[ls2270]

Thank you an interesting picture! I wonder if the 158 was on one of the short lived through trains to Euston? Next one…

Staplehurst?

 

[ls2270]

Staplehurst?

Is the right answer…thought that would be too easy!

 

[lxfe_mxtterz]

Is the right answer…thought that would be too easy!

Thanks.

Introducing our next station...

Best of luck!

 

[OxtedL]

Portsmouth Harbour?

 

[lxfe_mxtterz]

Portsmouth Harbour?

Too easy! Well done.

 

[OxtedL]

Thanks!
I'm working today so open floor again for now

Hi, try this.

 

[lxfe_mxtterz]

Struggling with where to start for this one...

Kirkby-in-Furness?

 

[paulravuslante]

Kirkby-in-Furness?

It’s a Northern station, but not that one.

 

[Mills444]

Hellifield the big junction on the Settle and Carlisle?

 

[paulravuslante]

Hellifield the big junction on the Settle and Carlisle?

No, still too far west

 

[daodao]

Battersby?

 

[paulravuslante]

Battersby?

Correct!
