I took the majority of these pictures using my camera phone... only 2.0 Megapixel... :-X Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 24, 2009, 22:33:44 Thanks, thetrout!

Bath Spa Sorry, that's my attempt, for now! ::) Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: thetrout on March 24, 2009, 22:42:50 Thanks, thetrout! 3.

So then I thought Salisbury, but that's built of red brick and the wall looks like sandstone. Exeter St David's perhaps?
Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: thetrout on March 25, 2009, 11:42:40 Fraid it's not Exeter St Davids Phil! Good effort though ;)
Also the flowers a real, They used to be hung quite low, low enough that if you walked under one you hit your head. Certainly not recommended if they've just been watered! ::) Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: devon_metro on March 25, 2009, 16:27:03 7. Taunton
Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: thetrout on March 25, 2009, 16:53:38 7. Taunton Correct Mr Devon_Metro ;) Just 9 left to guess now...! Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 25, 2009, 20:13:41 Of course, I knew 7 was Taunton - I just didn't want to show off! ::) ;) :D ;D
Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: thetrout on March 25, 2009, 23:04:58 Can anyone work out Number 9 Then... Or do we need a clue...?
Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 25, 2009, 23:12:09 Thanks again, thetrout!
Personally, I must confess to needing a clue: I went through a list of those 'smaller' stations which got a new HST service in the December 2007 timetable changes, but I couldn't identify your photo with any of those stations that I'm actually familiar with. (It isn't Nailsea, certainly!) However, I bet devon_metro knows! ;) ::) ;D Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: inspector_blakey on March 25, 2009, 23:28:23 Looks vaguely like Radley but that's well outside the geographical area of the rest of the pics and I don't think the railings are quite right.
Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: grahame on March 26, 2009, 05:39:12 Can anyone work out Number 9 Then... Or do we need a clue...? As a wild guess ... I'm wondering if it is Keynsham? Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: thetrout on March 26, 2009, 08:56:56 As a wild guess ... I'm wondering if it is Keynsham? I'm very sorry, but your wrong...! ;) Ok a clue then ;D The station benefits from a rather good greasy spoon in the car park...! ;D Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: devon_metro on March 26, 2009, 16:09:26 Thanks again, thetrout!

If you don't get it from this one, I might as well tell you ;)
The station is painted Pink :D Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: grahame on March 29, 2009, 22:53:23 Google comes up with various things when you try pink stations - the Severn and Wye Valley Railway, Broad Street, and Kemble ... Hmmm. And references to Pink Ffloyd and stations, to pink flowers at stations, and to pink grab bars in trains that stop at stations.
Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: grahame on April 06, 2009, 14:24:42 If HSTs are just stopping from December 2007, are we looking Berks and Hants, or even Thames Valley? Is it going to be somewhere like Theale or Thatcham? (Wild guess ... these are stations I travel through not too!)
Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: thetrout on April 06, 2009, 16:45:50 It's a Somerset Station, I can get there in one change ;D I can't believe you haven't worked it out!! :P ;) ;D
Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: devon_metro on April 06, 2009, 17:40:58 I can't think of any Somerset stations that you can get to which require a change.
Despite it not being served by HSTs, Bruton? Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: grahame on April 06, 2009, 18:30:20 I can't think of any Somerset stations that you can get to which require a change. I came up with Yeovil Pen Mill and Junction ... but no 125s. Or Oldfield Park and Freshford in BaNES. Places like Worle and Yatton are (I think) one change if you want to arrive on the 125 as all the one that stop there start from Weston ... Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: devon_metro on April 06, 2009, 18:39:50 All HSTs from Taunton stop at Worle and defiantly Yatton!
Its possibly it is Worle though, as the railings look familiar, whereas Yatton has a GWR style decoration? Trout? Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: thetrout on April 06, 2009, 22:26:21 Nope all wrong i'm afraid!
Although Bruton is warm!! ;D Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: TerminalJunkie on April 06, 2009, 22:35:04 Frome?
Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: devon_metro on April 06, 2009, 22:48:14 However Frome can be reached direct from Taunton?
Title: Re: TheTrouts Puzzle Edition 1 Post by: thetrout on April 07, 2009, 15:55:13 Frome? Frome is indeed correct ;D Well done that man!! ;D However Frome can be reached direct from Taunton? You are indeed correct, there is one train a day (15:19) which I had forgotten existed when I posted the clue!
