10. Waterford, Ireland

Now how on earth would a signalling and telegraph engineer know that one  Grin

There is only one platform at Waterford these days, and it's platform 5. Rather like the only useful hole on a golf course  is the 19th.

Haven't been there for over 40 years.  Shame they have  taken the track away that used to pass under the box, as thats what gave it its character (a bit like Canterbury East box).

One track remains - but its against the platform face of the unused platform for Rosslare trains which is fenced off, so is hidden from view - loosing the character from pictures, as you say.

Sorry, no.

Yes BNM.  Getting my East and West muddled up.  Should know better as I was responsible for the partial resignalling there back in the late 1990s.  It must have been all the frustration I suffered on XC (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) yesterday (see separate thread).  I'll go and sit in the corner...

All recent guesses correct ... and I will add an extra image from yesterday. 5 Irish, 2 Welsh, 1 Scots and 1 English remain now and it's open season.
