I doubt that this will exercise the collective mind of the Coffee Shop for long but here goes anyway.
Where was johnneyw today?

Member ellendune got there just before me: that would have been my placing of your location, too.  |

Blimey, it's my first "where was I" that didn't get answered correctly in minutes.
Perhaps as a further clue it might help to know that both ellendune and CfN were correct in thinking that it was a freight only line.

I don't think so: johnneyw has given us a clue that it's 'some considerable way south of Bristol'. That takes me down somewhere towards Dorset.  |

Close enough, the tunnel portal at the rather lovely, if probably very expensive village of Great Elm. |
