Well, I knew it wasn't AFK (away from keyboard), and the 'design' left STP, EBD, SFA. Because, the picture had wooden sleepers, I was inclined to go with EBD and SFA (Although couldn't think which one). I wasn't expecting it to be STP. Sad

You are right. I, perhaps, should have gone with that rather than incorrectly going for 13. Smiley

13. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. EBrown, you've discounted the correct answer. Why could it not possibly be AFK Ashford (International)? I can assure you it is. It was only two days ago that I took the picture. I'm feeling charitable as you've made a bit of a chump of yourself - go on have a guess at another one (or retire hurt to the pavillion) Grin

Here I am approaching AFK with the same Class 373 E* waiting in the platform:
