Bumper picture quiz - November 2018.

[whole diary]

27 Bishops Lydeard - hopefully the master key wasn't left in the cab.   

[JontyMort]

I'm not allowed another guess, but I think I've worked out 18, becoming terminally confused in the process.

[JayMac]

16 Yeovil Pen Mill

Correct!

12 Castle Cary.  Also agree on 16

12 Castle Cary

Correct! Point shared by the rogers. 

8. Caerdydd Canalog ?

Sorry, no.

13 - Littlehampton    (Think some editing may have been required)

Correct! Just a little edit to blank a station name sign.

17 - take a stab at Honiton.

Sorry, no

27 Bishops Lydeard - hopefully the master key wasn't left in the cab.  

Correct! One very big little boy was made very happy when the the driver said, "come on up." Didn't touch anything, although I was very tempted to flick the two-tone.

[Surrey 455]

6. Milton Keynes Central?

[JayMac]

6. Milton Keynes Central?

Correct! With image mirrored to have the double arrows face their more usual direction. The logo is of course in the correct orientation when viewed from outside the booking hall.

8. Blackpool North

[ellendune]

8. Blackpool North

Yes

[JayMac]

8. Blackpool North

Correct! I'm surprised this one generated a couple of incorrect guesses. There's a picture of Blackpool Tower on one of the hanging banners!

[JayMac]

I did not know that I thought the bit shown was entirely from the 1974 rebuild. Are any 1930's bits visible in that photo?

I may be mistaken but I'm sure I read somewhere (I have a vague memory from early 2000s of sheltering from weather in Blackpool library reading local history) that the 1974 rebuild of Blackpool North used the concrete frame of the 1930s excursion platforms building.

These excursion platforms became the main station in 1974 following demolition of the original station building which extended further down Talbot Road.

There's pictures of that around - like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/96859208@N07/9501943965/

But I just relied on that banner to find it.
