I like it though and people will have to wrestle me for the award :lol:

Gonna try Scarborough

The figures I'm currently looking at indicate there isn't huge amount of competition, I have a long way to go yet to catch up :D.

Scarborough is the right side of the Pennines.

Anyone else gonna have a go ?

The red handrails suggest this may be in West Yorkshire. I don't think I recognise it. Shepley? By the way, would you like me to analyse some more posts.

Scrathch that, Shepley's a rubbish idea. It looks to be a single line/island opposite a former platform. Brockholes? Doen't scrap the analysis idea though.

I'd like to reinstate mine from last night that I had to take down due to an early start.

The word "basic" has a new meaning! :lol:

I really have no idea. I shall make a wild stab in the dark and say Betws. Be honest Lampshade; am I more than 100mi out?

Just to remind everyone that last time this pic materialised, Moses Gate was "close" :D. And that it wasn't Gainsborough Lea Road (I think that was decided...)

I am feeling rather smug as I have just developed a macro in Microsoft Word which is capable of peeling it's way through the entire thread in less than half an hour and pulling every posters name out of the melee. This is no small acheivment, the last effort to do this would have worked at maybe 2.5 hours minimum, and needed manual input. This latest one I just press go. Running as I type.

Going to convert it to pull out dates and times as well. Anyone know whether all the times are adjusted for DST, or just the ones in the DST period? Thanks.

Kearsley?

Road distance of approximately 90 miles :D

Not Kearsley but closer then Moses Gate.

Dinting

Have found no conclusive evidence one way or the other. Still trying, but the timings of the clock changes (1am) make it difficult. And when did we use DST in this country? I didn't realise the UK was a part of the US?

Wires? :shock:

Daylight Saving Time = British Summer Time, contextually right but wrong name.

I *think* "DST" is factored in to the times, but am not sure. If you look back through this thread, find my 25 station analysis post a few thousand posts ago (search user Ivo and word "earned"), you will see that it was posted at 00:xx but first edited at 02:xx - in spite of the difference being about 5 minutes.

Anyway, another stab here - the former station at Newhey?

Sorry, yes DST is the name used in computer programs normally because of Americans. In Europe I should strictly have referred to Summer Time, or specifically to British Summer Time, but alas I forgot to be precise :D.

No clue on this one. Reddish North?
