Guess the Station...

Looks a shadow of its former self!

I suspect we have a (now) single line, possibly in East Anglia judging by the lamppost colour. I don't know why, but I have an urge to say West Runton. I suspect it is wrong but here goes, West Runton?

Borth?

Laurencekirk?
It's Borth, me-now-thinks.

No idea!

Sorry for the delay chaps - it is Borth.

Your seeing things. Guess The Station is playing tricks on you. It's time to step away from the computer before it's too late......

I don't have any pictures, so can't take the floor.

He's not going mad, something is going on. I've been stuck on Posts: 2 all week. I was over a hundred before... not that it really matters.

Careful chaps... you might upset someone, if you see what I mean.

My post was because I was certain that we'd already moved onto a new page (50 posts for me), and then suddenly we hadn't, but I'm prepared to accept I'm behaving in a paranoid manner.

Try this.

Easy - Dovey Junction.

Open Floor.

 

[OxtedL]

It was designed to be easy, although I hoped the presence of signals would throw a couple of people. What are they doing there, and are they there now?

I suspect the signals were put there to regulate the movement of train over the line. Could be wrong of course

IDEA for OxtedL & crew - with a full list of stations, go through and tick off all those stations which have been guessed.. see how many more we have to go

The scary thing is is that that is what is actually happening (I think!).

We're doing that right now. For example, I have covered the best part of 4000 posts in 3 days, simply identifying the stations that have come up. It's work that requires quite a lot of concentration though, as you can easily miss something.

However this afternoon, I've been dealing with the fact that the code I use to pull dates/times from the thread is now doing so in BST rather than GMT (perhaps due to the recent forum changes?).

As we approach 16000 posts, expect more information appearing...
==========

Guys, we need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves now and get on with the thread!! I would put up another one, but I'm busy, so can someone else kick start this evening? 16000 posts by midnight, please...

 

[MidnightFlyer]

How long could this thread actually go on for before it would have to be closed? Is there a limit?

 

[87019Chris]

here we go.

 

[OxtedL]

I don't have the foggiest about the answer to either of the last two questions (), but I'm guessing Stoke (perhaps) for the photo! That's a really tricky one, though.

 

[87019Chris]

nope not stoke

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Peterborough

That's the attitude Matt, just the kind of momentum we need!

Errrrr Doncaster? (unlikely... but you people don't seem to think it's WCML...)

 

[transportphoto]

Doncaster?

OXTEDL !!

 

[MidnightFlyer]

There are less than a dozen stations that see OHLE and an EMT 156... I think it may be Donny too

 

[Capybara]

Grantham?
