Title: Seven from 2017 Post by: grahame on March 18, 2017, 06:04:07 Seven images all taken in the first eleven weeks of 2017. All are my own photos - and I seem to have been travelling quite widely again. Can you identify where I have been?
In order to give others a chance, one each please ... I'll open the floor for second guesses after 24 hours in the unlikely event of any not being identified! 1. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/7for2017_1.jpg) 2. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/7for2017_2.jpg) 3. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/7for2017_3.jpg) 4. Southampton Aiport - Ellendune (http://www.wellho.net/pix/7for2017_4.jpg) 5. Steam, Swindon - Western Pathfinder (http://www.wellho.net/pix/7for2017_5.jpg) 6. Westbury - Bignosemac (http://www.wellho.net/pix/7for2017_6.jpg) 7. Leeds - Basset44 (http://www.wellho.net/pix/7for2017_7.jpg) Peter Hendy - Chris B, Taunton - Chris from Nailsea And for a bonus, and to keep the quiz traditional: (http://www.wellho.net/pix/7for2017_b.jpg) Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: Western Pathfinder on March 18, 2017, 07:18:51 No 5 Steam Swindon Railway Muesum.
Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: chuffed on March 18, 2017, 08:05:59 7. Manchester Oxford Rd (Beetham Tower in background?)
Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: ellendune on March 18, 2017, 08:08:36 4. Southampton Airport
7. Manchester Oxford Rd (Beetham Tower in background?) That would be why I thought it familiar Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: bobm on March 18, 2017, 08:47:09 2. Swindon's "other railway" through Old Town - the M&SWJR.
Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: grahame on March 18, 2017, 08:51:15 Southampton Airport and Steam, Swindon are correctly identified - sorry, other are not Manchester nor the Midland and South West Junction, though I can see why you might think those!
Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: ChrisB on March 18, 2017, 08:59:44 The bonus is Sir Peter Hendy
Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: basset44 on March 18, 2017, 13:05:45 Hi,
Is number 7 by any chance Leeds? Basset Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 18, 2017, 20:53:30 The bonus is Sir Peter Hendy ... and he was probably speaking to delegates at the TravelWatch SouthWest meeting in TAUNTON on 4 March 2017. ::) Unfortunately, I was unable to attend, as I was working. ??? Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: grahame on March 19, 2017, 02:46:26 I have cut in correct answers so far:
4 Southampton Aiport - Ellendune 5 Steam, Swindon - Western Pathfinder 7 Leeds - Basset44 Bonus Peter Hendy - Chris B, Taunton - Chris from Nailsea Most of the remaining pictures are in GW territory, so shouldn't be totally tough. Open to all as it's almost 24 hours. Been a quiet quiz, but the Saturday is always the day of the week that the forum is quietest, so that's somewhat what I had anticipated. The Southampton Airport picture is interesting in that it shows excellent grouping of public transport - the "99 steps from the train to checkins". You can see the platform, and a plane taxiing out from the terminal. You can also see a local bus, all in the one picture. Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: Western Pathfinder on March 19, 2017, 07:32:38 No6. GWR Sleeper service by any chance ?.
Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: JayMac on March 19, 2017, 12:03:44 I think no.6 is the station buffet at Westbury.
Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: grahame on March 19, 2017, 14:56:36 No6. GWR Sleeper service by any chance ?. I think no.6 is the station buffet at Westbury. Bignosemac has that right - the station buffet at Westbury. Very useful supply point for those things left at home! Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: grahame on March 24, 2017, 19:39:17 Nothing on TV this Friday evening? Take a guess at these three remaining instead!
1. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/7for2017_1.jpg) 2. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/7for2017_2.jpg) 3. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/7for2017_3.jpg) Two in what's currently GWR territory, and one about 15 miles from the nearest GWR station as the crow flies, but further as the train travels. One at a re-opened station, one closed, and one that's not been closed (except at night) since it was opened. Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: JayMac on March 24, 2017, 21:57:15 Didn't bobm already get no.2 right?
Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: ellendune on March 24, 2017, 22:16:51 Didn't bobm already get no.2 right? 2. Swindon's "other railway" through Old Town - the M&SWJR. Southampton Airport and Steam, Swindon are correctly identified - sorry, other are not Manchester nor the Midland and South West Junction, though I can see why you might think those! For the avoidance of doubt, the Midland and South Western Junction is sometimes called Swindon's other Railway. it was "Steam, Swindon" (No 5) that was correct. Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: grahame on March 25, 2017, 17:44:31 So where IS no 2??
I have posted some train snaps at https://www.facebook.com/TransWilts/posts/1020407091392666 too ... but where? There is a picture in that series from near to each of the three not yet identified here! Title: Re: Seven from 2017 Post by: grahame on March 30, 2017, 19:51:48 OK - No takers?
