Where's this train

« on: August 02, 2023, 10:58:21 »

It never ceases to amaze me how members can identify locations even when most of the picture frame is taken up by a train. Try these - as ever, one each please for the first 24 hours

1. Barnham - paul7575

2. Coventry - Timmer

3. Asturias area, Spain - bradshaw
It's Pravia (you're right in the region) overlaid on Barcelona Sans
(inner picture - others welcome to come up with town name and identity outer picture)

4. Fishguard Harbour - Oxonhutch

5. Manulla Junction - Rob on the hill

6. Crewe - Merthyr Imp

7. Taunton - ChrisB

8. Harpenden - stuving

9. Wernigerode - eightonedee

10.Melksham - rogerw

11. Donnafugata station, Sicily - Bob_Blakey

12. Stansted Airport - Timmer

13. Zidani Most - Bob_Blakey

14. Portway Park and Ride - johnneyW

15. Poole - stuving

1. Is it Barnham P3? The down loop or Bognor Regis platform.

14. Portway Parkway, I think that I was standing a few feet behind the chap in the picture at the time.

Edit: As per ChrisB's correction below, it is off course Portway Park and Ride. Senior moment there.
