Guess the Station...

clagmonster · 28 Dec 2011

I've been silly. There is no evidence of a second line, it could be a single bidirectionally signalled line. It is Whinhill.

Here you go. I won't be on for too long for you to solve it, so I'll be fairly liberal with clues.

OxtedL · 29 Dec 2011

It might just be me, and I'm off now anyway. Heckington? OFIUETIC

clagmonster · 29 Dec 2011

No, but in my view you are in the right county.

OxtedL · 29 Dec 2011

While I look that up, Shireoaks?

clagmonster · 29 Dec 2011

No, you are no longer in the right county.

OxtedL · 29 Dec 2011

Healing?

clagmonster · 29 Dec 2011

No, but you are now considerably closer. The station sees regular freight traffic.

OxtedL · 29 Dec 2011

Ulceby then. (Forgot the shed for a second... :roll

Open floor.

Unlucky choice left there just over 2 hours ago.

Penzance.

My floor is open for the next couple of days.

Yeah. Sorry, too easy!

The Sleeper · 29 Dec 2011

You know something is going to happen if they paint the buildings or the platform edge! It happened here but where is here?

Track Basher · 29 Dec 2011

Saltney?

185 · 29 Dec 2011

Saltney shut by Dr B. Ching methinks.

clagmonster · 29 Dec 2011

I'm not convinced the station is going to still be open. I'd estimate the phot was taken in the 70s/80s. Other than that I really don't have a clue. Yayypn?

Track Basher · 29 Dec 2011

Kilmmacolm?

steamybrian · 29 Dec 2011

My conclusion
I have studied this photo for sometime and my conclusion that it is an old photo suitably altered.
The station has GWR spear fencing which with a magnifying glass can be seen on the open gate on the left hand platform. On the right can be seen a Southern Railway concrete hut.
My conclusion is it was a GWR/ SR Joint station

Suggest Chilcompton on the S&D.closed 1966

This is only my wild guess so I could be wrong.......!!!

OxtedL · 29 Dec 2011

Well... the hill does look a bit Somerset-y.

In order to jump on the steamybrian bandwagon, Glastonbury?

By the way, when The Sleeper comes back, would you mind checking http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?p=871924 for us?

steamybrian · 29 Dec 2011

Reference - my first guess of Chilcompton has now been checked as WRONG..!

OxtedL-- Unlikely to be Glastonbury as it had three platforms including long canopies.

.....................I am still thinking......

Track Basher · 29 Dec 2011

Possibly be the place on the A371 between Chedder and Wells that still has a sign for the station.

Unfortunately can't remember the name of the village.

Lodge Hill station? (Wiki says it served Westbury-sub-Mendip. Other one was Draycott?)

http://www.npemap.org.uk/tiles/map.html#348,149,1

Line curves the correct way. I think.

Track Basher · 29 Dec 2011

Draycott is the one with the sign in the village.

OxtedL · 29 Dec 2011

Well, Draycott fits well with the topography. I can imagine that being the end of the Mendips...

OxtedL · 30 Dec 2011

Severn Beach

atomicdanny · 30 Dec 2011

Avonmouth?

Ivo · 30 Dec 2011

Newton St Cyres

O/F if correct.

clagmonster · 30 Dec 2011

So, the line has now been singled but the station remains open? Melksham?
