It's all relative!
I would consider Rugby to be down south but it is north of here.

For many of the people I see every day, Stevenage counts as the North. 
Nice, but given recent events, Islip is the best yet...

Nope, but I have an inkling you may have latched onto the events in question?

No...I'm trying to allude to an actual change, which happened recently. Concerning the operator in question. Hint. Hint.
Kington?

I suspect this is on the Evesham line but do not know the stations well enough.

'Tis that famous station in the far north (if you live Surrey) at Monks Risborough.
Open floor.

Looks like Paddington - Maybe an advert by a famous clothing manufacturer.

Sure is Paddington.
If only it was something clever like an art installation or an advert. It wasn't though.... Notwork Fail mucked it up and repeated the same message all the way down the platform. Parts of it were being taped up a few hours after I took the picture!

It was indeed Monks Risborough (and yes, it was on the list 
). It turns out that if you shrink a picture to 40% of its original size, you can make people - well, certainly IPT - believe it's in Scotland!

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to this, my life very suddenly and temporarily became interesting!

Indeed! You can see I moved along way down the list for that one!

Oops TB, sorry, completely missed that 
...
Doesn't mean I know where it is, though. My guess is somewhere on the way to Oban?
Dalmally?

Not very difficult.
Correct answer.

Cheers. I used to live quite near Montpelier so I know what a dump it is. I was scared even to drive through it, let alone walk there.
Anyway, try this.

I don't know the station, but how do you live in Bristol yet manage to get photo after photo of anything to do with the West Highlands?
I actually now live in Norwich. You're right, I do have a bit of a love affair with the West Highlands. I go up about every two months on the Sleeper, often armed with an list of timings, if there are any specials for example.
I went up for the first time 2 years back and have been hooked ever since. There are just so many photo opportunities, I've still got several I want to do!

Seeing as it's gone a bit dead, I'll give a hint that this was a Steam Dreams train originating in London with Oliver Cromwell hauling throughout.
