Guess the Station...

[Class172]

I'm back! I can't believe how many posts there have been!

I will reveal the answer with the picture later someone has said it 'ages ago'

 

[OxtedL]

Welcome back 172... does that mean it was OK for us to assume you were dead and move on ...?

paulravuslante, I will optimistically bid Berkhamstead. Because I feel optimistic. (Duh.)

And 4SRKT, without wishing to draw attention to what you wrote (oops), I should point out that there are some young-ish people on here who perhaps don't need that kind of tenuous filth in their lives! Their eyesight is almost certainly fine... Oh yeah, and some people are left-handed.



...I'll just let that content there sink in, don't expect to hear from me much over the next 48 hours (famous last words...) :roll:

At last I'm back on the computer and can reveal that the winner was OxtedL, and that it is Droitwich Spa. It is taken from under the bridge on platform 1 looking towards the junction.

OxtedL asked me to put this up as he's not around today:

Looks like my impetuous put-the-next-picture up quick attitude was right for once! Phew!

Nope, I just recognised the building (I'm quite into railway arcitechture). Nice avatar BTW. Hang about for the photo.

here's one.. clue after 3 wrong guesses

 

[clagmonster]

A former NSE are PTT machine suggests a PF area. The shelter looks like it may be on the former GWR.
In summer 2002, the Thames Trains PF area was only Padd-West Drayton, I presume it wasn't wider in NSE days. Let's try Hanwell.

[clagmonster]

I think I'm out of ideas that fit.

Still no1 dares to guess

 

[HST Power]

Stoneleigh?

 

[Captain Chaos]

Dunno really.

Langley?

 

[sonic2009]

Nope. 1 more wrong answer another clue

 

[Matt Taylor]

Very few stations on SWT still have a Pertis machine.

Kempton Park?

 

[sonic2009]

Wrong answer. The clue is currently as of 2011, this station has 6 train classes that call.

 

[clagmonster]

OK, I think that is my GWR logic out of the window.
I assume the area was in an NSE area PF zone in the NSE era. Most (all?) former NSE operators don't operate 6 classes, so it is probably a jointly served station.
As of 2002:
SWT only operated PFs in the London Travelcard zones, the only answer the would fit the most recent clueis, I think Clapham and I don't think it's there.

I don't have a definitve South Central PF area, but Redhill is served by them, South Eastern and Great Western, so conceivably has the following calling:
165
166
319
375
377
455

Let's try Redhill with no great hope of being right, but open floor if I am.

 

[sonic2009]

Wrong.. No more clues for 5 wrong answers
