Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: grahame on October 20, 2018, 15:44:58 Taunton in the fog ? It would seem that Lee's image hosting service has decided the picture is too good / asked for too many times and has stopped serving it. A cache tells me it look like this: (http://www.wellho.net/pix/lee_where.jpg) Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: eightf48544 on October 20, 2018, 15:52:06 Europe first choice
States 2nd Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: grahame on October 20, 2018, 15:59:41 Europe first choice States 2nd Hmmm ... as Great Britain is in Europe (at least at present!) that's a very very wide range of choices indeed ;D Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: eightf48544 on October 20, 2018, 16:09:32 Yes Grahame, it means I haven't a clue. Was also considering New Zealand!
Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: Lee on October 20, 2018, 16:41:26 Thanks grahame - Don't know what happened there, but original link seems to be working again now.
I can confirm that the answer lies within the parameters set by eightf48544 ;D Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: stuving on October 20, 2018, 17:39:34 Thanks grahame - Don't know what happened there, but original link seems to be working again now. Not for me it isn't - Quote 403. That’s an error.

Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: Red Squirrel on October 20, 2018, 17:43:54 Europe first choice States 2nd A laudable principle. Title: Re: Where was Lee?

Don't know I'm afraid - Works for me, and I don't think I've done anything to restrict it. Can you still see grahame's version? Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: eightonedee on October 20, 2018, 17:53:53 I think the white Renault Clios place us this side of the Atlantic

Can you still see grahame's version? Yes - but that's located on his server. If the first one is somewhere you have privileged access to ... Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: Lee on October 20, 2018, 18:03:01 Fair enough, stick with his version for now and i will look into it.
Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: bradshaw on October 20, 2018, 18:44:41 Just a small blue square with a ? inside it on my MacBook.
Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: Lee on October 21, 2018, 10:00:42 Time for a clue:
This former station has a fearsome name around these parts. Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: Red Squirrel on October 21, 2018, 11:26:12 See, I was right: Taunton!
Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: CMRail on October 21, 2018, 11:48:57 Isn’t that the amount of progress HS2 has made?
Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: Lee on October 21, 2018, 13:20:49 Isn’t that the amount of progress HS2 has made? Well, considering that the rail replacement bus service was finally withdrawn due to low usage on this route at the end of August 2018, 51 years after closure of the railway line, I'm not sure it's that far up the High Speed Rail pecking order! Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: chuffed on October 21, 2018, 13:26:34 Is that fearsome Taunton as in Chris 'fearsome' Nailsea ???
Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: eightf48544 on October 21, 2018, 16:03:05 Judging by your bye line: Currently muddling along the Guingamp-Carhaix line Is it somewhere on the Reseau Breton narrow gauge? I know the French persevered with replacement buses long after we ceased running ours. Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: Lee on October 21, 2018, 16:16:22 Is it somewhere on the Reseau Breton narrow gauge? It is. Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: stuving on October 21, 2018, 16:27:36 I was wondering what language the clue was a pun in - but to be fair to most people it would have to be in English: Scaer (or Scaër, not that that helps much with the pronunciation).
Title: Re: Where was Lee? Post by: eightonedee on October 21, 2018, 16:45:10 There's an old picture of Plouguenervel station on the line's Wikipedia entry page with a waiting room just like the one pictured, although I guess it may be the standard pattern for the line.
