I'll take a wild stab at Flax Bourton. Title: Re: More where? Post by: chuffed on May 15, 2018, 22:51:51 Not a lot to go on. Are you talking about GWR trains again ? Edit note: Quote marks fixed, for clarity. CfN. Title: Re: More where?

Post by: Chris from Nailsea on May 15, 2018, 23:38:10 It's not Flax Bourton. The track alignment and foliage is all wrong. ;)

(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/982/41413852684_673276a62d_c.jpg) Standing on a rail overbridge looking down on a double track railway line currently not being electrified but within GWR territory possibly the Golden Valley line between Stroud and Kemble. Title: Re: More where? Post by: Bmblbzzz on May 16, 2018, 09:56:49 It is GWR but not Flax Bourton or the Stroud Valleys Line. It is actually a rather well known place. Imagine a hot June day, weeds on a platform, a blackbird singing ...

Newly double tracked? Title: Re: More where? Post by: Bmblbzzz on May 16, 2018, 10:40:00 Yes, it's Adlestrop. The old station building is just off to the left behind the trees. I think it was double tracked a couple of years ago, wasn't it?
Title: Re: More where? Post by: Witham Bobby on May 16, 2018, 10:56:54 Yes, it's Adlestrop. The old station building is just off to the left behind the trees. I think it was double tracked a couple of years ago, wasn't it? Moreton-in-Marsh to Ascott-under-Wychwood was not singled back in 1971 when most of the Wolvercot Jcn - Norton Jcn line suffered that fate. So not recently re-doubled, no. Amazing to find that the re-doubled bit between Moreton-in-Marsh and Evesham happened in 2011 - already seven years ago. Title: Re: More where? Post by: Oxonhutch on May 16, 2018, 11:12:46 ...
The steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat. No one left and no one came ... Title: Re: More where? Post by: Bmblbzzz on May 20, 2018, 14:07:15 Here's another. Yesterday I was near a defunct railway bridge, also in GWR territory, a branch from a line that still operates:

Title: Re: More where? Post by: Bmblbzzz on May 20, 2018, 16:19:45 Nowhere near there that far east, I'm afraid.
