Guess the Station...

[HST Power]

The old lady sitting on the bench and the barbed wire on the brick wall....could it be a care home?

 

[OxtedL]

That is evil.

Bolton?

 

[HST Power]

That is evil.

I was of course joking, as indicated by the , but I have a great deal of inside knowledge about the care system and can assure you that my point is made in rather ironic jest.

 

[steamybrian]

My first guess is..

Sevenoaks.

 

[W-on-Sea]

Ok. I'm impressed. Although perhaps the "location: Kent" helps...

Sevenoaks it is.

[MidnightFlyer]

What?

It was Sevenoaks... and half of those aren't even stations!

 

[HST Power]

Jewellery Quarter....I like that!

 

[Track Basher]

As there are no takers.

 

[HST Power]

Pegswood?

 

[Track Basher]

Nope....

 

[blackettstreet]

chester-le-street?
open floor if correct

 

[Track Basher]

That is two electrified stations.

I see no wires! Or third rail for that matter.

[OxtedL]

If it's snow, then is it close to home, TB?

That doesn't help me much, but... Llanelli?? (cringes)

The sweep stake is a bit of a fail at the moment, could I have some more takers please! Some suggestions: Preston, York, Coventry, Peterborough, Newport, Carlisle...

 

[Track Basher]

No not near home.

OK a clue. This is a normal service train on it's normal route of operation and the picture is taken out of the train window and not through one.

Think about that.

 

[clagmonster]

Pembrey & Burry Port?

Oxted, what is the sweepstake for. I have probably missed it whilst offline, I don't tend to read through such posts as I don't have the time (apart from when doing census analysis, I will probably find it in a couple of weeks time).

 

[Track Basher]

No you are miles away. The first couple of guesses were nearer.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Methinks Pitlochry

 

[OxtedL]

Most pics posted for a station. Lowestoft is already taken (and will probably win, it's certainly in the lead at the moment with 3000 posts to go), but it could be close, so "prizes" for the runner-up

Spalding?

(Also, notice I am exactly an Established Member again...)

 

[clagmonster]

That makes Pembrey wrong then.
Analysing the clue. It is clearly a double track line. Assuming the photograph is modern and taken on BR, it is taken from a droplight window, so either on a HST or hauled set (I think that only includes the sleepers, Gerald and Scottish bits at the moment). I will assume it is off the Western and not in Wales.

I think I spy a signalbox and crossing beyond the footbridge. Blair Atholl fits, so I'll try that.

I'll go for Blackburn in the sweepstake then, if it isn't taken.

 

[Track Basher]

We are getting the right idea but none correct.

 

[clagmonster]

Kingussie fits slightly better (the box is nearer to the station than the crossing).

 

[Track Basher]

Not Kingussie

 

[clagmonster]

Maybe I am wrong about the crossing. Dunkeld & Birnam?

 

[Track Basher]

No not Dunkeld either

 

[MidnightFlyer]

I'll go for Blackburn in the sweepstake then, if it isn't taken.

I took Blackburn

Dalwhinnie

 

[clagmonster]

If you're wrong, then I think we're wrong about the HML. In which case, I don't know, because the Fife Circle is entirely controlled by Edinburgh PSB.

 

[Track Basher]

Not Dalwhinnie
