[blackettstreet]

i spent a week up and down that line....im sure i know where it is, but i'm not sure it's leamington!

high wycombe?

 

[Track Basher]

Not High Wycombe either

 

[blackettstreet]

banbury, then

--- old post above --- --- new post below ---

can't think of anywhere else with a bay

 

[Track Basher]

Not Banbury.

No prizes for guessing you are in the right part of the country.

 

[Captain Chaos]

Princes Risborough?

 

[Track Basher]

Princes Risborough?

He steams in and steals the answer.

You are correct.

 

[blackettstreet]

oh !"£$%^&*()_)(*&>

 

[Captain Chaos]

Open floor!

 

[Track Basher]

That is twice in one night. That sort of language is going to get you in trouble.

Someone else can have a go.

 

[blackettstreet]

give me 1 second

 

[blackettstreet]

should be easy...i think

 

[blackettstreet]

if it doesn't go in 5 mins i need to PM the answer to somebody

 

[OxtedL]

Reading?

Feel free to PM me.

 

[Crossover]

Oxford?

If it doesn't go before you go, I don't mind looking after it for the evening

 

[blackettstreet]

Oxford?

Yah, das ist richtig! Du hast gewonnen!

Which translates as "over to sellis89"

 

[Crossover]

I'm on fire tonight it would seem!

Driving on RailWorks pays off it seems (though I have been there before)

Slightly cheeky one...not the actual station itself but just off the platforms looking out across the area. Probably not a difficult one but where is it?

Picture not mine but taken by one of my friends

 

[OxtedL]

Macclesfield?

Btw, did we see the first appearance of Warrington BQ on the thread earlier, or have I missed one since the census? Either way, it appears that no-one ever uses the station at Warrington...

 

[Crossover]

Yes it is Macclesfield (first appearance)

And according to the record you sent which I am updating as we go along, it was the first outing for Warrington BQ (1674 stations to go...)

Having seen Bank Quay I'm not surprised not many people use it...

 

[OxtedL]

Ah, amazing things happen when you google "S & M Supplies"...

Trust you OxL, trust you :P

I knew that instantly because of the S & M supplies shop, it was in the background of the picture in the paper when that bus tried to become a convertible by hitting the railway bridge.

Oh yeah - so it is! I think S&M Supplies in Macc is pretty recogniseable generally anyway - probably an icon of the town!

I would say it succeeded in becoming a convertible to be honest!

As for OxL's picture, I'm not sure where it is but for some reason I get the feeling it is in the North somewhere, you I may, of course, be completely wrong!

 

[clagmonster]

Horsforth? The cart is too far a way to be able to make out what it is, so even that isn't a clue.

 

[OxtedL]

It's not particularly far north.

 

[clagmonster]

Kidderminster? The shelter looks slightly GWR to me.

 

[OxtedL]

Yes, Kidderminster.

If you look here, the building in the background appears to still be there.

 

[clagmonster]

Here's one for you.

 

[OxtedL]

Well... Nottingham isn't an entirely unreasonable suggestion...

 

[Track Basher]

I would have gone Nottingham as well.

 

[clagmonster]

Well... Nottingham isn't an entirely unreasonable suggestion...

Is the correct answer.
