Another advent picture quiz, December 16th

[whole diary]

[eightonedee]

is H York?

[rogerw]

I think H is Crewe.

[ellendune]

I think H is Crewe.

I think it is Crewe as well

[PrestburyRoad]

Is P the undercroft of Glasgow Central station?  It's a long shot - I just recall seeing a TV^▸ (Thames Valley, or TeleVision, depending on context) programme earlier this year that mentioned occasional guided tours of that location.

[stuving]

Q is Haverthwaite on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway.

[Reginald25]

Q yes, Haverthwaite, about 25 years ago!
H yes, Crewe (not York). the station was shown to help identify it. The event was the Great Gathering of steam at Crewe Works 2005
L yes, Millers Dale. Amazing that a second viaduct was built there just to accomodate the capacity. An excellent teashop on site now!
P no, not Glasgow but yes an undercroft, much further South and in GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) territory

Well done L, H and Q

Still to do   BF^▸ (Brake First (carriage)) GI KP R

B and O are in the Northern part of England
G and I are north of the M4
R is north of the M4 and in Wales
P and K are definitely in the GWR area

Suggest the one answer limit now removed, so answer as many as you can do.

[TonyN]

I is Coleford railway museum

[Reginald25]

I Yes, Coleford museum. Another fascinating site, particularly if there is an interest in signalling.

[Western Pathfinder]

P. I will hazard a guess that it's under Bristol Temple Meads.

[Reginald25]

P yes There is an amazing under ground area under the station. Another interesting area is under the old terminal station. I went on an organised tour of both, must be 8 or 9 years ago now. We were told that it was used as a route to bus replacement buses at that time, don't know whether that is still the case. The wartime training area has been left as it was then.

Yes quite so,it is still used as a route for access to Rail replacement bus services ,only during times of major disruptions to services.

I haven't seen D mentioned yet which is the Great Orme Tramway in Llandudno. Tram No. 7 is on the summit section and the fuzzy inside picture is the halfway winding house. The tramway being in two halves with passengers walking between the two.

My apologies I missed D on the outstanding list.
And YES it is the tramway and the winding house. Llandudno station is also one that I like!

That leaves:
Still to do   BF^▸ (Brake First (carriage)) GK R

B and O are in the Northern part of England
F is in the Midlands
G is north of the M4
R is north of the M4 and in Wales
K is definitely in the GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) area

Also to help, B and F letters are relevant pointers to the site name

[grahame]

"K" looks like Minehead to me

....

"F" may be Froghall ....

[Reginald25]

K Yes - Minehead. The loco is Tornado about 7 or 8 years ago.

F No - not Froghall. However think close.
