Title: How little do you need? Post by: grahame on June 01, 2008, 08:37:22 I'm always impressed by how a very few clues in a picture can lead some people to a very quick identification. So here are some that are rather more "clueless" than usual (they get progressively harder, I think). Where are they?

Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: grahame on June 01, 2008, 09:56:25 1 is, indeed, Bedminster. So carefully cropping the picture to avoid you seeing the main runing lines didn't fool you ;)
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: devon_metro on June 01, 2008, 10:27:22 Well 2 looks like an island platform so narrows it down somewhat!
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: grahame on June 01, 2008, 10:51:23 Well 2 looks like an island platform so narrows it down somewhat! Does it narrow it down enough for you to tell me where it is? :D Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: devon_metro on June 01, 2008, 11:16:34 Sadly not. Although keeping in the theme of the Trans wilts i'll have a blind stab at Swindon

Post by: basset44 on June 01, 2008, 13:13:09 Hi, Could number 2 be Radyr there are lots of island platforms on ATW valley lines
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: grahame on June 01, 2008, 15:20:56 Sorry, not Radyr
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: swlines on June 01, 2008, 15:37:45 3 reminds me of Patchway
And I'll edit this to go for 2 which I reckon is Taunton Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: grahame on June 01, 2008, 17:10:44 3 reminds me of Patchway And I'll edit this to go for 2 which I reckon is Taunton 3 reminds you of Patchway ... probably because it IS Patchway. But 2 ain't Taunton! Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: swlines on June 01, 2008, 17:18:38 Filton Abbey Wood
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: gaf71 on June 01, 2008, 17:31:03 1 is, indeed, Bedminster. So carefully cropping the picture to avoid you seeing the main runing lines didn't fool you ;) It's the up relief i think, we use it quite a lot ;DTitle: Re: How little do you need?

Post by: devon_metro on June 01, 2008, 18:18:48 It actually looks a little bit like Westbury, fairly confident its not though.
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: John R on June 01, 2008, 18:25:59 Oh I'll have a go, how about Bristol Parkway?
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: grahame on June 01, 2008, 18:32:24 Sorry, John ... (and not Westbury either ...)
I'm actually quite surprised how stubborn this one's being! Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: devon_metro on June 01, 2008, 18:38:03 Could it be Weston SM?
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: grahame on June 01, 2008, 18:42:59 Could it be Weston SM? Nope. A bit of a clue - "once you realise where it is, you won't be surprised that the picture was taken in the dark" Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: swlines on June 01, 2008, 18:49:34 Severn Tunnel Jn?
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: Btline on June 01, 2008, 18:52:22 It looks like it could be Worcester Shrub Hill, but this is unlikely as a FGW train would not be in this position (i.e. with a LM 150 it would be more likely).
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: devon_metro on June 01, 2008, 18:54:43 So it only gets a night/morning service. I'd say Melksham but that isn't an island :D
Newton St Cyres? EDIT - not an island. Quite simply stumped. Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: grahame on June 01, 2008, 19:22:01 Well ... expanding on my clue, the station's not had a daytime service during the week for quite a while, although things have changed now.
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: devon_metro on June 01, 2008, 19:25:04 I'd say somewhere on the Ebbw vale, but thats gets a daytime service
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: swlines on June 01, 2008, 19:38:12 Denton??
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: grahame on June 01, 2008, 19:40:27 England, not Wales ... and it's a line that has never closed but until very recently the only Monday to Friday trains were early morning, and evening peak through to general close of service time. And that's a situation which had existed for many years.
Added as swlines posted - sorry - not Denton either! Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: John R on June 01, 2008, 19:57:34 Severn Beach?
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: grahame on June 01, 2008, 19:58:44 Closest yet ...
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: swlines on June 01, 2008, 20:00:11 If it isn't Severn Beach then St Andrews Road.
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: grahame on June 01, 2008, 20:40:19 Severn Beach? Yes ... it IS Severn Beach. Very odd, John - I could have sworn I read "St Andrew's Road" when I said "closest yet" - looks like I was having a 'senior moment there! My apologys for the initial "no". Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: John R on June 01, 2008, 20:49:33 OK, I'll confess, I put St Andrew's Rd, and as I was hitting enter thought no, it's Severn Beach. (A bit like slamming the boot and even before it closes you realise your keys are inside.) But in the few seconds it took me to amend it you had obviously posted a reply (which I haven't read until now).
So no senior moment at your end. Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: grahame on June 01, 2008, 20:57:35 Phew! I'll cancel that 20,000 day service that I'd booked rather early. ;D
Title: Re: How little do you need? Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on August 26, 2008, 22:39:50 is number 2 severn beach?
