Congrats on Tees-side Airport. Beat you to that one nearly a year ago somehow! And congrats on T&W too, even as a local it took me an age to get that cleared

The only shacks I've got left in the 'North East' are those from Nunthorpe towards Whitby (which is a job for a weekend in early October, involving many festers)

Plus Carlisle towards Hexham which will take some planning to do

Clifton Down (bonus score)
Redland (bonus score)
St Andrews Road (bonus score)

It is noted that I was originally going to do both Severn Tunnel Junction and Pilning, but I did not fancy the 40 minute fester at STJ in the rain, especially as the timings at neighbouring Caldicot do not work out well at all. I decided to do the line to Severn Beach instead.

Some more for Saturday below:

Stapleton Road
Yeovil Pen Mill
Yeovil Junction
Melksham
Grateley
Bradford on Avon
Oldfield Park
Avoncliffe Halt
Freshford
Parson Street

Of note, Bedminster would have been scored, but I was unwittingly and mistakenly waiting on the southbound platform (1) for the 22:34 BRI service instead of Platforms 2 and 3. The signage at Bedminster for which platform in which direction appears to be absent.

21/08/2016

Tiverton Parkway
Pinhoe
Polsloe Bridge
Topsham (intended to do Newcourt, but due to a delay causing the Exmouth train to terminate at Topsham, I went for this one as the trains are timetabled to pass each other here at the same time. Topsham is also a level crossing station that has no footbridge to change platforms).
Newtown St Cyres
Dawlish
Digby & Sowton
Okehampton
Crediton
Portsmouth Arms
Taunton
Castle Cary

I believe that I have scored all of the Great Western Railway Intercity stations, except Neath and Bodmin Parkway (did that ever have the Intercity signage?). Stretching things further while still on GWR metals, but not part of the franchise, I require High Wycombe, Warwick Parkway, and Wrexham General for what is/was/passes off as traditional Intercity services along GWR metals. Unsure if Aberystwyth and Pwlhelli were GWR or London & North Western Railway.

22/08/2016

Hagley
Bermuda Park
Canley (formerly Canley Halt on OS maps in the 1980s - the suffix "Halt" was already dropped on the local PTE area maps)

Sounded like a busy few days there Adam

 

[Techniquest]

Just a bit busy! hock:

It was looking too damp to get out at Dovey Junction yesterday, so decided to stay in the dry I have a mini plan going on for Cambrian shacks.

Indeed. Currently getting a bit damp in Bodmin Parkway station but all worth it!
