Guess the Station...

[MidnightFlyer]

Floor open. You know I only got that because I could see the 'C' at the start of the name on the nameboard....

 

[OxtedL]

I'm saying karma.

Oops, I thought I'd blurred that out. Oxted, would you like it or shall I go again?

 

[OxtedL]

I'll scoop this up for a bit of variety. Seems to just be us three.

Selected using a random number generator:

Cherry Tree

 

[OxtedL]

I was amazed when it picked that one. First and last time I use a random number...

Peter is appearing at the bottom of my screen, I think I may have stolen your floor earlier?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

( Oops... I forgot to say "open floor if correct" last night but you do seem to have realised that would be the case. Apologies. And I think that was my first correct answer for a while as well! )

Indeed, try not to pick my closest station (and indeed one I have used probably more than 100 times ).

Floor open

 

[clagmonster]

If I showed the full picture, this would be very easy. I've cropped it heavily, let me know if/when you would like to see a little more.

 

[OxtedL]

Manchester Piccadilly?

 

[clagmonster]

Correct. Maybe I was a bit too nice with the cropping, I should have left less at the top of the picture.

 

[OxtedL]

It was the trays, actually.

Although I did think London Bridge.

 

[clagmonster]

I feel that this may well be London Midland. There is no electrification. Hartlebury?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

I note a headshunt and a pile of track panels in the middle between the running lines; I'm wondering about the country end of Wembley Stadium.

Open floor if it is.



( How many stations have yet to appear on this thread?? )




Edited to say: Having looked again, I see the buffers in fact have no running lines to the far side therefore my guess is as wrong as a very wrong thing.

 

[OxtedL]

It's interesting you both say that, London Midland pass within a mile of this station, but don't serve it. And it's not Chiltern

By my count, 1403 stations after this.

 

[clagmonster]

Greenbank?

 

[OxtedL]

Nope.

 

[clagmonster]

Cuddington?

 

[OxtedL]

The station is electrified (despite appearances).

 

[clagmonster]

I have a feeling this might be Scouse. Which places us in the Allerton area, as I believe that the only LM services in the area are the Lime St-Birmingham and the like. One of the two lines may have third rail, but no more than that I think (I had previously thought it was a bit of discarded rail. It's Hunts Cross.

 

[OxtedL]

It is indeed. I removed most of the colour scheme, although you might have been able to see some.

[clagmonster]

Let me know if you want more revealing.

 

[OxtedL]

I'll stick a guess in here when you put a picture in your post .

 

[clagmonster]

You could have had a 1 in a couple of thousand punt!

 

[OxtedL]

I reckon Skipton is close, although not enough platforms...

 

[clagmonster]

Not Skipton. It's not a million miles away though.

 

[OxtedL]

I now find myself afflicted with an inability to think of likely stations with a platform 7.

 

[clagmonster]

In which case, I'll give you a bit more. This will be my last question of the night, I think (I'll stay until it is solved though, assuming it is fairly quick).

 

[Peter Mugridge]

York?



Open floor if it is.

 

[clagmonster]

York?



Open floor if it is.

No, but fairly close.
