Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: grahame on November 05, 2017, 16:59:30 No. 4 is Edinburgh, at the end of York Place, where the trams stop and gaze wistfully down Leith Walk. It is indeed the end of York Place. I'm not so sure about trams gazing wistfully though - source? ;) Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: JayMac on November 05, 2017, 17:00:32 7. The foot tunnel from Emlyn Square in Swindon to the Designer Outlet/Steam Museum.

Paul Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: paul7575 on November 05, 2017, 17:10:51 No. 4 is Edinburgh, at the end of York Place, where the trams stop and gaze wistfully down Leith Walk. It is indeed the end of York Place. I'm not so sure about trams gazing wistfully though - source? ;) IIRC the original plan was to go down to Leith docks. It proved to be just too expensive. They only built about 60% of the originally intended system. Paul Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: stuving on November 05, 2017, 17:19:16 No. 4 is Edinburgh, at the end of York Place, where the trams stop and gaze wistfully down Leith Walk.

They only built about 60% of the originally intended system. Paul ... and who knows, trams met yet reach Leith. But in any case the depot is at Gogar (or Edinburgh Gateway, if you navigate by railway stations) and that's the only place the wist retention tanks can be emptied, so ... Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: ellendune on November 05, 2017, 17:34:12 No 1 is Patchway Station where the up and down lines take different start/end their alignments (in the foreground).

Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: SandTEngineer on November 05, 2017, 19:09:19 OK I'll bite: 5 TAUNTON
Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 05, 2017, 19:20:44 Yes, I rather thought 5 was Taunton - but with my track record, that's not sufficient certainty for me to post that as my answer. ::) :o ;D
Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: grahame on November 05, 2017, 19:33:41 Yes, I rather thought 5 was Taunton - but with my track record, that's not sufficient certainty for me to post that as my answer. ::) :o ;D I seem to make rather a lot of visits to Taunton, so it will crop up quite often in these quizzes Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 05, 2017, 19:39:18 I know ... it does. :-[

Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: bradshaw on November 06, 2017, 10:00:10 6 Croydon Tramway at Sandilands?
Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: AMLAG on November 06, 2017, 10:19:14 8. = Dorchester West...though the fairly smart whitened platform edge, at other than a main line stn on the gWr served system, causes me to be unsure !
Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: IndustryInsider on November 06, 2017, 10:22:06 9 is Swansea I think?
Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: rogerw on November 06, 2017, 15:14:58 11 Watford Junction - the St Albans platform
Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: grahame on November 06, 2017, 18:27:04 9 is Swansea I think? 11 Watford Junction - the St Albans platform 8. = Dorchester West...though the fairly smart whitened platform edge, at other than a main line stn on the gWr served system, causes me to be unsure ! These are all correct - leaving just no. 6 to be sorted. Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: ellendune on November 06, 2017, 18:40:57 6. I think is Edinburgh again - perhaps Gogar
Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: grahame on November 06, 2017, 18:45:00 6. I think is Edinburgh again - perhaps Gogar Nope ... it's not anywhere on the Edinburgh tram system. When I put a quiz like this up, I have a bit of an idea about which pictures may be the ones to "stick around" unanswered for the longest. Often, people's knowledge amazes me and I'm gloriously wrong but in this case this picture is the one I expected to be one of the last to be identified. Title: Re: Where is this - recent pictures Post by: Western Pathfinder on November 06, 2017, 19:59:37 Stoke Gifford depot sidings?.
