Guess the Station...

[Matt Taylor]

So close Oxted, but Popper takes it!

April 1st 2006, Raspberry Fool tour from Cannon St to Littlehampton with a pair of 73s.

 

[OxtedL]

Well I look like a fool now... I DO NOT recognise that building. And I can't find it on Google.

 

[seagull]

Yes Oxted you were quite right, it couldn't have been my guesses - I've got a headache trying to work out what all the clues were pointing towards...

Nice work Popper.

 

[Popper]

Don't have enough time to upload my next photo, so I will leave the floor open.

 

[Track Basher]

A nice easy one to get us going.

Correct answer

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Floor open

 

[OxtedL]

Here's one I DID NOT try to post earlier.

 

[Track Basher]

Deleted until later

 

[NXEA!]

Tilbury East?

 

[OxtedL]

Not Tilbury.

Sorry TB, seem to have FOXED you.

 

[Track Basher]

Don't know where that is.

The sign looks Northern but the building looks south of London

 

[imagination]

Foxton.

Open floor if right.

 

[OxtedL]

Yup, from the wikipedia page.

Over to TB then...

Sorry for being like this, I am aware that I post in a sporadic and annoying way...

 

[Track Basher]

A bit more tricky this one.

 

[NXEA!]

Before I make a guess, I must say, I love that shot! Nice one TB. Now I'm not sure if High Marnham still has the remains of a station or even had a station but when they recomissioned the branch they used a DBSO+31 I'm pretty sure, and I know that the line crosses the ECML and that looks like a bridge its crossing, so I will guess High Marnham.

Thanks for the kind words.

High Marnham is not a station and therefore disallowed.

This is a current station.

 

[NXEA!]

Anytime. Ahh ok, thanks for that, you learn something new everyday.

 

[imagination]

coombe junction halt?

 

[Track Basher]

Not Coombe

 

[4SRKT]

Lingwood.

 

[Track Basher]

Nope....

 

[seagull]

There's what looks to be a road crossing treadle there, so the photo (at a guess) taken from the crossing - must be presumably an AOCL/ABCL type crossing, which might help narrow things down slightly.

Could this be Heart of Wales line possibly...?

 

[Track Basher]

Hmmmmmmm

OK a clue. It was taken today.

 

[seagull]

Ok, haven't a clue where you might have been today, but going on my first guess, and given the direction of the sun in the shot, and the two bridges...

Llangadog?

Is the correct answer.

Took the picture this morning as 31602 shoved the test train up the HoW.

 

[seagull]

Have to say, a very nice shot that one.

An open floor for anyone wanting a go - I really have to dig out some of my old photo albums and scan a few goodies in. Or take some new photos!
