Guess the Station...

Ardlui? Open floor if correct .

 

[4SRKT]

Ardlui is correct.

If I had my way, ScotRail drivers would be banned from this thread for at least a week after I've been to Scotland.

Fine with me, i'm a guard!!!

From Guess the UK Train Class:

Listen chaps, if we're going to give Guess the Station a run for its money, we need to get a wiggle on. They've had dozens of posts this evening, so let's get the finger out.

Traitor!

Many of us play both! It's just that this is easier to accumulate.

Show's me what I get for typing 'RETB island platform subway' into google!

 

[CarterUSM]

That is cheeky! I've been playing both tonight also!

 

[4SRKT]

Well, ScotRail traincrew then! The ScotRail guard on board the 18:21 ex-Queen Street had plenty of time to drink in the atmosphere at Ardlui on Wednesday just past, as we were there for 25 minutes waiting for a southbound working that had 'hit a cow'. I looked for blood and steaks on the cowcatcher of said working and there were none though.........

 

[OxtedL]

Impressive building...but where?

What can I say? I'm a turncoat, caught red-handed (and not in a proddy way, CarterUSM!)

 

[Ivo]

Too slow. Ah well; next time.

 

[4SRKT]

Somewhere in South West England by the stonework.

 

[CarterUSM]

Did they really say cow? I'd have said coo!

 

[Ivo]

Barnstaple possibly?

 

[4SRKT]

Your picture ain't great Ivo AFAICS.

 

[Ivo]

I've taken it down; it can wait. You can all despair from it afterwards.

 

[OxtedL]

I see my plan to block out Ivo is going well so far ...

South West England eh? Hmmmm...

 

[4SRKT]

Did they really say cow? I'd have said coo!

So it wasn't you then? Actually it was the driver that told me this. Am I right that a Glasgow crew works to Ardlui and back, and Fort William/Oban men swap over there? The guard said very little, and in fact *was* very little, being only about 5' tall.

 

[Ivo]

Oi!

I've posted enough for one night, to be fair, so I shan't be on too much longer. Getting tired as well! And that's allowing for my having slept for some of the afternoon!

Taunton.

Is it Bellarena by any chance, probably Northern Ireland's most obscure station?

 

[Ivo]

No it wasn't. I do agree about Bellarena being obscure though! My shot - which is NOT in play remember! - was taken from outside, and there is no reason to get off at Bellarena (unless a long wait for another CAF appeals!).

 

[OxtedL]

Barnstaple and Taunton are a little bit wrong I'm afraid.

 

[4SRKT]

No it wasn't. I do agree about Bellarena being obscure though! My shot - which is NOT in play remember! - was taken from outside, and there is no reason to get off at Bellarena (unless a long wait for another CAF appeals!).

Or you are a student who lives in Limavady, and have got daddy to drive miles from the town so that you can save a couple of £ on an ISIC discounted rail fare over the full fare bus.

No, I have to work out the other Glasgow terminus. Yeah, I think that is the changeover point for the 1821, I think the Queen St crew work as far as Crianlarich on the morning service though, and as far as Rannoch on the sleeper.

 

[Ivo]

That, I hadn't thought of. Also, there is the scenery, which is epic! I had never seen hills that rise into the clouds on non-foggy days before I went that way!

Let's try something a bit more out there. East Grinstead.

 

[Captain Chaos]

Looks south-west to me too. I will go with Exeter St Davids but I have a feeling I am probably wrong.

 

[OxtedL]

Neither. There are two 'e's in the station name though.

 

[Captain Chaos]

Two 'e's you say?

I will stick with the south-west and go as far as possible. Penzance?

 

[OxtedL]

Yup, wiki pic for Penzance. Don't open floor it !!!

 

[Ivo]

I'll claim the floor if Chaos does declare it open...

 

[OxtedL]

Nooooooooo!!!!!
