Why does that run round loop at Aberystwyth "fly" so far from the platform line?
So people in the train can see it, rather than have it block the view? |

20.3 I would guess you were either going to or returning from one of your many jaunts to foreign exotic cliimes when you took this one Grahame.

20.1 Worcester Shrub Hill
Definitely - you can almost see my house. Year? Before the current foul-up of the signalling. 1968? |

20.1 - correct, Worcester Shrub Hill.
20.3 - correct, Gatwick Airport .. but NOT on a frequent trip to exotic foreign climes .. I rarely fly anywhere these days! Guessing without going back through my library that it was on my way back from Aalborg in Denmark which though pleasant enough is not really exotic!!

20.1 - correct, Worcester Shrub Hill.
20.3 - correct, Gatwick Airport ..
It was the platform number that gave it away for me, or to be more precise, the yellow number on a black background. |
