Where is this (map)

10 - Cosham

Yep - just one remaining ... and NOT a newcomer to members of the forum who may have read about my getting a rather nice old(er) train to stop there on request.



24 hours have passed ... open to anyone to complete the quiz

5 is Menheniot

It is, Tony.

Anyway, I took some pictures, and just less than an hour after I arrived, hailed the Penzance train to start my journey towards my next destination.

It took quite a while to find. You don't expect the Cornish main line to run south east to north west.

Not alighted there myself I have had a look round St Germans. Sat on the Quay eating my sandwiches while a China Clay train went over the viaduct. A very nice spot.

It's been such fun doing a lot of the mapping stuff I have been playing with - perhaps I am "addicted" to maps.  I have been wasting spending time quite out of proportion to the real gain / use of the pages. I am ... resisting ... the temptation to follow up with another immediate batch of these, though I can generate them almost trivially for any main network station, and with little effort centred on just about any other UK^▸ (United Kingdom) location.



All public data ... but not so sure if revenue protection would like me to produce a map that highlights all the stations with ticket gates ...

The faint parallel lines due west of Menheniot station (5).  Are they a zip wire?  That?s probably a first for a transport map.

I don?t suppose they do returns...

That's pretty conventional cartography compared to the roughly rectangular shape marked on the "lake" (flooded quarry). That's a bouncy castle-cum-floating assault course sort of thingy. (See under Aquapark at Adrenalin Quarry or Kartworld.)

At present, the mapping is vector rather than polygon fill based.   

Works fine for road, railways, public footpaths, cycle ways, canals and rivers.   Less good for lakes and for estuaries and the sea. I am caching base data the first time each station map is visited, and the (re)view rate is quite low, so I can switch in new facilities as I get a chance to add them in - which will NOT be in the next week, I'm afraid.  Also (but not in the next week) I can look at some text labelling as I have feature names in the data too.

It still makes a thoroughly engrossing quiz subject to keep us amused in winter lockdown. I am looking forward to the next one! Thanks Grahame
