Guess the Station...

[Track Basher]

Rannoch?

Correct answer

Correct answer

Kewl!

I don't think we've had this one before so hopefully it'll be ticked off 'the list'.

 

[Track Basher]

Gowerton

 

[paulravuslante]

Gowerton

It sure is!

 

[Track Basher]

I have no access to anything at present

 

[Crossover]

I'll grab the open floor - give me a moment

Try this

 

[Track Basher]

Chertsey

It is at moments like this we need Matt Taylor

 

[paulravuslante]

I'll grab the open floor - give me a moment

Try this

I think there's a platform like that at Bracknell, but I don't think you normally see a 455 out that way, so I have my doubts.

Not Chertsey

Not Bracknall either

 

[Captain Chaos]

Ewell West?

Open floor if right.

 

[paulravuslante]

Hounslow?

 

[Crossover]

Not Ewell West or Hounslow

 

[Track Basher]

St Margrets

 

[Crossover]

Not St Margarets either

Heading to watch the Apprentice now but will keep in touch via my mobile to see whats happening here, though perhaps not as frequently as at present

 

[Crossover]

As a clue, here is a less cropped version of the picture

 

[Daimler]

I keep thinking it's Richmond, but I've not been there for ages...

 

[Crossover]

Not Richmond

Come on people :P
Couple of more guesses and I'll give you another clue

I'm back as well now so will be able to check on guesses properly again.

I thought Ewell West also. It's evidently South West Division and almost certainly in the inner suburban area. I don't think 455s get much beyond Feltham on the Windsor side these days. There are two platforms (plus I suppose possibly a hidden bay). Malden Manor?

 

[Track Basher]

London Road (Guildford)

 

[Crossover]

Not Malden Manor

 

[clagmonster]

Chessington North?

 

[Crossover]

And not London Road

Clue: There is a tube station in the area but its a little walk away

 

[clagmonster]

That places it in the zones and makes Chessington North wrong. Can you define 'tube' please? Using my definition, the only Tubes anywhere near the South Western Division are the Northern Line, which would place this in the Wimbledon area. Could there be some hidden platforms to the left, allowing a four platformed station I wonder. In which case, maybe Earlsfield, with a walk to Tooting Bec?

 

[Crossover]

Not Chessington North

By "Tube" it is on the Underground :P, but is surface

Not Earlsfield

Couple more guesses and I'll expand the clue

EDIT: And you can have the fact it's in a zone as a clue for free, as I'm nice like that :P

 

[clagmonster]

If it's near an Underground station it's bound to be in or near the zones anyway.
With the expanded clue, I think we are near a District Line station. Putney is a recognised walking interchange with East Putney, so I'll try Putney.

 

[Crossover]

Not Putney

 

[clagmonster]

Wandsworth Town?

 

[Crossover]

Not Wandsworth Town

Another clue: A large multinational company have one of their main offices not far from the station (apologies if this doesn't help much)

 

[OxtedL]

Hounslow?

 

[clagmonster]

The extra clue doesn't help but I've just realised that I am missing something obvous. Various stations on the Hounslow Loop are walkable to the west end of the District/Picc. I'll start the bidding with Chiswick (for Chiswick Park)
