Guess the Station...

[Cowley]

I’m working my way down and realised that I should have gone for this favourite trainspotting haunt first... - Twyford?
If it isn’t there then I’ve probably run out of time...

 

[Peter Mugridge]

None of those... sorry!

I'm shutting down for the night now - will check back tomorrow to see if you've worked it out by then...

 

[DanNCL]

Iver?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Not Iver.

Are you lot going to list every station out of Paddington on the scattershot principle?

 

[A Challenge]

Slough?

 

[DanNCL]

West Drayton?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Neither of those I am afraid. Perhaps I should start with the clues tomorrow?

 

[DanNCL]

Maidenhead?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Not Maidenhead either...

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Evesham again?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

No, you are getting colder there.

Look very carefully at the platform arrangement; there is enough visible in the picture to work out exactly where it is.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Newbury?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Newbury?

Correct.

Did my clue about the platforms give it away?

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Well, it got me to look more closely and I realised the foreground was either an island platform or a bay - and lots had already been eliminated!

Try this one:

 

[185143]

Harwich Town?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Harwich Town?

Can't be Harwich - no wires...

Looks a bit like Small Heath to me?

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Sorry, I thought I'd replied to this - seems not.

Neither Harwich nor Small Heath.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Maybe time for a slight clue?

Of the two guesses so far Small Heath is geographically nearer.

 

[185]

Middle road at Altrincham

floor open if correct

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Yes - Altrincham. Tram platforms are out of sight to the left.

 

[185143]

Knew I recognised it but couldn't think where!

Try this admittedly quite.crap picture!

 

[A Challenge]

Reminds me of Kendal?

 

[OxtedL]

Habrough?

 

[DanTrain]

Ulceby?

 

[Crossover]

Habrough is the one that sprung to mind for me. I don't believe it is Ulceby as there's no signal towards the end of the platform (and I don't recall PIS off-hand either)

I think you're right actually, looks very much like the Westbound platform at Habrough from street view

 

[185143]

Habrough?

It is indeed Habrough!

 

[OxtedL]

OK, try this then!

 

[Cowley]

Is that Eridge?

 

[OxtedL]

No, sorry!
