[MidnightFlyer]

Thank you

It is not. Sorry.

Link to this Pacer thread please!

You're welcome

Link??????

Go on NR General Discussion, rank them by total number of posts, ignore the Stickies, second one down, just over 900 posts I think. It all kicked of a bit when you were away for about 6 months.

Enjoy!

Oh, and um, I temporarily lost my SD Card, so I had to save some pics to my camera memory... only for the battery to run out, when I can't find the charger. I've since found the SD Card (I left it in my laptop - d'oh!), but it means I can't transfer those few or (worse) take some new ones for the present!

Thank you again

(P.S.: It was five months.)

And I know the thread you mean now; that was a bit of a "hoo-hah", wasn't it...?

[Track Basher]

Highbridge and Burnham

 

[Ivo]

Nay. Sorry. You are however within 200 miles, if it is any help; based on that, I would advise against such answers as "Seamer", "Helensburgh Upper" and "Maryport" (all random choices), because they are further away than that.

 

[Track Basher]

Camborne

 

[Ivo]

Also incorrect. I feel a clue is due, so here goes: This station's name has only one word in it. (Admittedly, so too does Camborne, but hey!)

 

[Track Basher]

Truro

 

[Ivo]

It's not in Cornwall. I thought I'd let that go the first time, but after two consecutive answers it's only fair to reveal as much.

For the record, the furthest I've gone into the deep west by train is Paignton, apart from a Liskeard to St Ives return with my father nearly five years ago (when I barely recognised the train we had back from St Erth to Liskeard as an HST; for the record, we had a 158 on the outbound leg and a 150 on the Bay line).

 

[Track Basher]

The shelters are very familier and I think they were used by Wessex now FGW.

I just don't know where this is.

Trowbridge

 

[Ivo]

Trowbridge is the closest so far, going by a combined measure of (a) distance and (b) the two clues I have given. It is still not right though.

 

[Track Basher]

Bradford on Avon was my other choice

 

[Ivo]

BOA doesn't match the clues though; whilst it can be argued that it has only one word in its name, strictly speaking it does not. Also, I will reveal that this picture was taken more than 20 miles from Bath. That ought to help at least a little.

Clues so far:

Within 200 miles of Highbridge and Burnham
At least 20 miles from Bath
One word only
Not in Cornwall

And where's 4SRKT anyway? I saw his name briefly, but that's all...

 

[Track Basher]

Not a thumper picture so he ran away.

Warminster

 

[4SRKT]

It's because I haven't a clue where it is. I don't do random, so I'm checking in every now and then to see if someone's got it and posted another one up!

I haven't a clue either. Getting bored with this one now.:roll:

That's odd, given what you said before...

There's something naggingly familiar about your phot but I can't quite put my finger on it. I'm sure with a clue I would have got it, that is if TB or Brian or someone else hadn't steamed straight in with the correct answer.

Warminster is also incorrect. I will give another clue, which *might* entice the parcel officer to return - this shot was taken at a station that has at least one Pacer a week under normal conditions.

@ TB: I hope you're not getting bored because it's in the south?

 

[Track Basher]

Penally

 

[Ivo]

Much better, but still not right. It's another of my "West Wales in February" shots.

 

[Track Basher]

Gowerton.

 

[Ivo]

Travelling the wrong way now; Penally couldn't be much closer.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Pembroke

 

[Ivo]

Mr Taylor has stolen the victory from the Track Basher...

 

[Matt Taylor]

I've been watching this one for a while and waiting for the right time to make my entrance, would never have got it without that last clue though.

 

[Track Basher]

What is really annoying is I got off there last year and walked down to the castle.

From that view it looks totally different.

Once again I picked the wrong one. Pembroke was my next guess.

No idea where the door is though.

 

[Matt Taylor]

No idea where the door is though.

On a platform!!


I'll get me' coat.

 

[Track Basher]

Just to clarify.

This is on the platform and not on the exterior of the station?

You do have a bit of a SWT theme. Windsor and Eton Riverside.

 

[Matt Taylor]

Riverside it is, I did actually think you got it in one when I read the first line of your first response.

 

[Track Basher]

I did actually get it in one. Different castle, Pembroke not Windsor. That was actually a guess as it wa sthe only place I could think of on SWT that could potentially have that type of architecture.

We do visit Windsor 3 or 4 times a year (Legoland) but always arrive at Central from South Wales. Have not been out of Riverside for many years, there is a story attached to that but not for here!

Try this one.

Not sure how long this will last.
