Title: Three Bridges Post by: grahame on June 07, 2008, 14:58:26 If you were expecting a post about a station on the London to Brighton Line ... you ain't got one.
Can you identify these three bridges? (http://www.wellho.net/pix/qz1.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/qz2.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/qz3.jpg) Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: TerminalJunkie on June 07, 2008, 16:48:22 Is 3 Thornford?
Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: grahame on June 07, 2008, 18:15:56 Yes, the thrid one is Thornford (someone called it "Thornford International" the other week ;D )
Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: devon_metro on June 07, 2008, 18:40:51 ahh
My original theory is correct. Just realised 2 has the tunnel blanked out and just noticed a 4th rail. Must therefore be the closed (and now demolished) Wood Lane (For Exhibition)? :) Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: grahame on June 07, 2008, 20:04:08 ahh My original theory is correct. Just realised 2 has the tunnel blanked out and just noticed a 4th rail. Must therefore be the closed (and now demolished) Wood Lane (For Exhibition)? :) No - completely and utterly incorrect ;D ;D The second picture is taken with a different device (mobile phone) to the one used for most of the pictures I used, so you'll see a distinct colour match and contrast difference. I have not manipulated the image save for cropping and resizing to my standard 400 x 300 pixel format, and the whiteout is simply the device struggling with bright sunlight and a gloomy subterranian location.

Must therefore be the closed (and now demolished) Wood Lane (For Exhibition)? :) Wood Lane was never built in a two track tunnel, certainly not of those dimensions either. It was for all essential purposes entirely underground as well. Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: devon_metro on June 08, 2008, 10:01:41 I can only see one track! Does look remarkably similar though!
Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: grahame on June 08, 2008, 11:23:19 Ladies and gents - I'm really surprised to have 1 and 2 still "open" for answers; they're both in former "Wessex Trains" territory.
Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: TerminalJunkie on June 08, 2008, 12:36:30 I'm fairly certain I'm wrong, but: 1 - Devonport?
Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: grahame on June 08, 2008, 16:06:18 I'm fairly certain I'm wrong, but: 1 - Devonport? I can confirm than number 1 is not Devonport - sorry. Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: Karl on June 08, 2008, 16:28:07 Afternoon
Is No. 1 the Cornwall end of St. Germans station, taken from the bank where one of the GWR camping coaches now oldly sits? Think its 1. all I'm getting at the mo is two red squares with a ? in them, after its loaded?! Regards Karl. Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: grahame on June 08, 2008, 17:56:54 'fraid it's not St Germans either ...
Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: grahame on June 10, 2008, 07:03:15 For number 1 ... try a place with "Bridge" actually in its name ;)
And for number 2, doesn't it look pretty suburban - I would expect our friends from Bristol to recognise it if I put it on their site :D Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: John R on June 10, 2008, 07:22:38 2= Clifton Down, after the very strong clue from Graham.
Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: grahame on June 10, 2008, 08:23:36 2= Clifton Down, after the very strong clue from Graham. Indeed it is ... I found myself wondering is I had zoomed in just too much on the original and presented it in such a way that I made it too hard ... Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: Phil on June 10, 2008, 10:05:04 For number 1 ... try a place with "Bridge" actually in its name ;) TrowBridge Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: grahame on June 10, 2008, 10:12:02 Yep, that's it Phil
1. Trowbridge 2. Clifton Down 3. Thornford Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: Phil on June 10, 2008, 10:25:38 Thanks, Grahame. Sorry, for one reason and another I haven't really had a chance to visit this part of the site for a little while, and consequently hadn't spotted the competition.
It always amazes me how people can identify the precise location of a lineside feature - until it's one of the very few that I recognise myself, in which case I can't imagine how people wouldn't know it! :D Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: devon_metro on June 10, 2008, 10:34:18 Can't believe I didn't spot that! I recognised the signal but convinced myself it was not Trowbridge. Outrageous :D
Title: Re: Three Bridges Post by: Westernchallenger on June 10, 2008, 13:07:41 1. is the Westbury end of Trowbridge
