Guess the Station...

[Track Basher]

Burnley Central

Is there some sort of tractor beam that prevents IPT from leaving Staffordshire for more than an hour or so?

Yeah, they call it 44932(!)

And I have left Staffordshire for more than an hour, I have been on some pretty long distance trips and have some more planned out

You can take the boy out of Staffordshire, but you can't take Staffordshire out of the boy...........

I'd rule out the Buxton Line, that's firmly 150/2 and 156 territory. A Northern single line station on the west side, it's between Blackpool South and Colne so... Colne?

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Well it surely isn't Blackpool South unless that recently got a canopy(!)

 

[OxtedL]

Been battling excel for this one, which you might be able to read...

 

[Ivo]

Oooh, I'm not sure about that one Ivo, except to say I'm sure you didn't take it.......

Hey! I always provide my own shots! Unless Neil gives me one, which I always declare.

There has been some Ivo-special editing in this shot, if you want a clue - because no-one is right so far.

Canopy? What canopy? There is no canopy?

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Warrington Central

 

[Ivo]

OxtedL: That one, I like.

Not Warrington Central. Or Bank Quay, before anyone tries that.

 

[Track Basher]

Kirkby (Merseyside)

 

[Ivo]

Not Kirkby.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Lancaster?

 

[Ivo]

Never photted that far north. Will change on Saturday though!

 

[Track Basher]

Barrow in Furness

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Ellesmere Port?

 

[Track Basher]

Scrub that. Rose Hill, Marple

 

[Ivo]

No, no and no. Just to remind people, this station is further south than York, the current furthest north I have photted. Unless non-railways pictures count (well, I have done the former tram display on Princes Street in Edinburgh but that's another story! )!

Closest guess so far? Not saying. What I will say is that this station has more than 500,000 uses every year, including interchange - and that it is somewhere in the area roughly cornered by Fleetwood, Chester, Buxton and Colne. Not that the second part of this information is of much use!

 

[Track Basher]

Not Blackpool North again!

 

[Ivo]

No. I have used this station either never or once (not saying which) before now, so it will not be my first "Tri-Station".

 

[OxtedL]

Wigan Wallgate?

enough graph-ing for one night, excel is tired.

 

[Ivo]

Are you sure Excel is the one who's tired?

Not Wallgate.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Wigan North Western?

 

[Ivo]

There is a reason I said "Wallgate" and not "Wigan Wallgate", because...

North Western is correct! Note the crafty removals of the canopy and OHLE

 

[Lampshade]

Brierfield?

EDIT:

 

[OxtedL]

Note the crafty removals of the canopy and OHLE

Puts on "not impressed" face. But must acknowledge the craftiness.

Ah take a boo son! That was genius!

Didcot Parkway?

 

[Popper]

Westbury?
Open floor if correct.

 

[IanPooleTrains]

Neither of those are correct

 

[HST Power]

Thameslink or Great Northern?
