Title: Can you place these pictures Post by: grahame on March 08, 2020, 20:22:55 One guess each for the first 24 hours please ... all picture I have take so far this year. Most should be quite easy because I ain't been very far ...

Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: eightonedee on March 08, 2020, 20:26:48 7 is Exeter Central
Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: SandTEngineer on March 08, 2020, 20:28:36 10. Waterloo (International as was).
Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: Bmblbzzz on March 08, 2020, 20:30:56 I'm not sure where any of them are but I do like no. 4. I could have a silly guess and say it's somewhere on "the curlew line" but AFAIK, unlike avocet and bittern, there isn't one.
Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: ellendune on March 08, 2020, 21:01:33 8. Exeter St Davids with a view of the new "traincare" depot.
Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: grahame on March 08, 2020, 21:15:56 All correct so far ...

Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: bobm on March 08, 2020, 21:33:27 3 reminds me very much of a trip to Ventnor on the Isle of Wight but can’t find anything on line to substantiate that.
Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: Merthyr Imp on March 08, 2020, 22:09:56 5 - Westbury?
Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: bradshaw on March 08, 2020, 22:23:17 2 Bath Spa
Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: grahame on March 08, 2020, 22:26:21 6 MVR S&T Salisbury
5 Merthyr Imp Westbury 2 Bradshaw Bath Spa All 3 correct. Sadly, No. 3 isn't Ventnor, nor can I imagine more than 2,500 of our 60 million passing this spot on their way to the Isle of Wight. Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: Lee on March 08, 2020, 22:40:55 3. Severn Beach
Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: stuving on March 08, 2020, 22:42:40 9. - Trowbridge
Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: Lee on March 08, 2020, 22:57:24 Annoyingly I know 4 as well, but just waiting out 24 hour rule... ;D
Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: grahame on March 09, 2020, 06:06:42 3. Severn Beach Indeed - directly opposite the station entrance - where the line used to carry on to Pilning Low Level and would, these days, have provided a usefully joined up service with Severn Beach line trains carrying on beyond "The Beach" to New Passage (renames "Pilning Town"), Pilning Junction, Aztec West, Patchway and Parkway. The gates are well high so no picture beyond, and there has been so much development in the area that the trackbed is gone with it being just about one of the most impractical links of any to restore, even though just a couple of mies long. 9. - Trowbridge Yes indeed. An old friend - 150-001 in its last month with GWR turned up on the Saturday evening service at 17:43 to Weymouth. Surprisingly quiet off Temple Meads ... crowds helped onto the train (where it sat for the best part of 10 minutes) by the local constabulary with more joining at Bath Spa. 150001 may not be the prettiest or most comfortable train, but I shall miss her and her sister not popping up from time to time. Annoyingly I know 4 as well, but just waiting out 24 hour rule... ;D My lips are sealed too. Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: Western Pathfinder on March 09, 2020, 08:10:00 No4. Stapleton Road.
Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: grahame on March 09, 2020, 08:42:55 No4. Stapleton Road. Lots of lovely artwork at Stapleton Road but - sorry - this is not part of it! Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: grahame on March 10, 2020, 13:15:06 Just one picture remaining .. anyone ??
4. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/qz_200308_03.jpg) This topic appears to have been locked not sure why (probably finger trouble) so I have unlocked it. "Curlew Line" - very suitable from The Mound to Dornoch (which used to curl all around to get ew there), but it isn't.

I held back my picture of the Bristol bound platform from my earlier post on the line as it would have been a give-away: (http://www.wellho.net/pix/avn_20200308_01.jpg) Title: Re: Can you place these pictures Post by: SandTEngineer on March 11, 2020, 09:45:05 I must say that that station looks remarkably well looked after, and not a single weed to be seen in the track as well!
