All 3 correct. 5 may make you think of Wales, but it isn't ;D Facebook users - I have been experimenting with the Coffee Shop feed over there - if you visit https://www.facebook.com/CoffeeShopCRP/posts/3062520043995094 you should see one of the "then and now" images and not the disruption map which normally appears there whatever post is shared. I HAVE had a report of it not working for someone, so a quick flick through to test by one or two members would be appreciated! Thanks Title: Re: Then and now - but do you recognise where?

Title: Re: Then and now - but do you recognise where? Post by: grahame on September 26, 2021, 22:29:22 5. Beauly Yes - and at 2cm shorter than Cononbridge said to be the shortest public platform on the network! 2 Truro? Also correct ... and that's all five completed. I have five more - though one or two may not be quite as they seem, and most are exceedingly easy! 6. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/tanow_a_6.jpg) 7. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/tanow_a_7.jpg) 8.

I'm pretty sure is Newport, with that shiny new spaceship looking a lot less new and shiny from platform level. But where the "before" picture is I've no idea, other than not the same place and not the same direction.

Never been there, but it featured in a fairly recent TV series, "abandoned engineering" I think. Title: Re: Then and now - but do you recognise where?

The station name on the right hand side on the "Then" photo is a bit of a clue! Title: Re: Then and now - but do you recognise where? Post by: grahame on September 27, 2021, 08:51:35 6.

The station name on the right hand side on the "Then" photo is a bit of a clue! Oh yes, I know. But not certainty. I believe that a station labelled "Warmington-on-Sea" really wasn't, and "Mortonhurst" was actually ... but you know the rest Title: Re: Then and now - but do you recognise where?
