Guess the Station...

[Crossover]

I'll take it on for you mate, I don't mind letting others have a go.
Final guess is Foxton.

Nope

Pilning?

Nope

Neither are in the right area.

This station does get a better service than the single service a week of Pilning.

Temple Meads - you will have a PM soon

 

[Temple Meads]

sellis89 has PM'd me the correct answer, so feel free to continue.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Looks like a clue could be required, it's further south than Manchester..

 

[Crossover]

Slow one today it seems! I'm back again now so we will co-manage it

St Budeaux Ferry Road?

 

[Temple Meads]

St Budeaux Ferry Road?

No it isn't.

 

[Crossover]

Time for another clue

The branch line I alluded to earlier is still open flor freight, but passenger services ceased some time ago. Despite that, this station has remained

 

[OxtedL]

I'm not getting anywhere... :?

 

[Crossover]

Hmmm...time for another clue

A pic from Stations Made Difficult

Also, it is a 2 platform station

Middlewich?

 

[Temple Meads]

Middlewich?

Afraid not

When you say south of manchester,are you saying its near manchester or just south?

 

[Temple Meads]

When you say south of manchester,are you saying its near manchester or just south?

It is within 150 miles of Manchester....

 

[Crossover]

It is within about 70-80 mins journey by train from Crewe

It isn't closed, but used to be in the early 70s

 

[OxtedL]

In the hope of drawing out further clues, Acton Bridge?

 

[ole man]

Aldridge?

 

[gg1]

Peartree?

 

[Crossover]

In the hope of drawing out further clues, Acton Bridge?

Not Acton Bridge - and anymore clues and I will pretty much tell you where it is :P

Aldridge?

Not Aldridge. The station in the picture is still open and in use (albeit infrequently called at)

 

[Temple Meads]

Peartree?

Correct

 

[Crossover]

Peartree?

Finally. It is indeed Peartree (ex Peartree and Normanton)

I think all the clues were right, anyway

Your go gg1

EDIT: For anyone who is interested, I just looked up todays services from Peartree, which are as follows:

1K00 0720 to Derby
1K03 0744 to Crewe
1K18 1618 to Derby
1K21 1645 to Crewe
1K23 1744 to Crewe

That is how infrequent they are

I don't believe there's anything in the rules saying how recent the photo should be



Couple of clues, the picture is from the 1870s and is a LNWR station.

Today the station has 4 platforms.

I don't believe there's anything in the rules saying how recent the photo should be

I believe that as long as it's still open and owned by Network Rail you're fine.

Not that I have the foggiest clue where this station is mind

 

[Crossover]

Nice bit of variation
The age is no problem

Going to open bidding with Llandudno Junction?

Open floor if correct

It looks familier but can't place it yet. Let's start with Bangor.

 

[gg1]

Not Llandudno or Bangor.

 

[exile]

Rhyl?

 

[Track Basher]

Wellington

 

[Temple Meads]

Oxford?

 

[Track Basher]

I can see why you said Oxford but a clue was London North Western Railway and Oxford was Great Western.

 

[Crossover]

I think you are all missing a point with the clue given:
Rhyl has 2 platforms
Oxford and Wellington each have 3 platforms...

 

[ole man]

Holyhead?
