So - which is the station who's name should be changed?
Liverpool Street, named after Lord Liverpool. Isn't that photo in Bath? |

If it was Austria, I'd say it was getting stollen.....

Bristol's long lost train station that's on track to reopenAmbitious vision includes new stations, low-carbon trains and "turn-up-and-go" services A long-lost Bristol train station that shut 50 years ago could be reopened under ambitious plans for the region's rail over the next decade. Campaigners including MP▸ Kerry McCarthy are celebrating after St Anne's Park station in Brislington received up to ?50,000 from the Government to begin the process of restoring it back to life. Source: Bristol LiveAdmit it - we all knew the Bristol-Bath electrification would be completed with 750v DC▸ third-rail... it was the only way to satisfy the Keepers of Bath's Heritage  |

The picture of 444 040 is in the November 2018 issue of "Railway Gazette" (I googled it - I don't have a collection). It's obviously not Bristol - someone will recognise the setting.

Higher res at ... https://farm5.static.flickr.com/4820/43994813450_4436cdfbcb_b.jpg... looks like platform 5; terminal track, extra terminal track to the right. Too straight and old for Reading? |

Okay, I'm ignorant of these things. To me it's obviously not in or near Bristol cos the only SWR» services that come here are the Waterloo-Temple Meads and the Portsmouth-Cardiff services, which call at Temple Meads and Bath but it's obviously not either of those places. And even if it were, a GWR▸ service would be far more relevant as they're surely the only ones that will stop at St Anne's Park etc (if anything ever does).
So what I want to know is, how can you tell from the photo that it's running on third rail?

The unit is in passenger service, front light on, CIS▸ showing stops, so not being hauled arround empty by a diesel, and a 444 is 3rd rail only, though does have a space for a pantagragh.

Thanks all! I could see it was the end of a line, but couldn't read the CIS▸ well enough to figure out where the train was going.

Thanks. But other than knowing that a 444 is third rail only, how could you tell by looking at it that it wasn't a DMU▸ ? |
