Guess the Station...

[OxtedL]

Aha, progress!

So now we are looking for a station with a certain colour brick in a much smaller area.

 

[Gathursty]

For that sign to be used, it requires a member of staff so I'd also wager that this station is staffed which further reduces the list of stations we can pick from.

Handforth?

 

[gnolife]

Not Handforth.

I'll explain my cryptic clue
The train service was running exactly as scheduled on this day, which is a Saturday. That is, no train service due to long term engineering works.

Also, your diagram appears to remove my station. This appears to be due to me using road distance, which I thought (clearly incorrectly) that I'd mentioned that I was using.

 

[OxtedL]

Hm, well allowing road distance from Sheffield >50 miles means we could just about have Farnworth, Kearsley or Moses Gate...

I'll try Kearsley.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Then I'll take one of the remaining two and suggest Farnworth itself.

 

[Crossover]

Patricroft?

 

[Track Basher]

Hall i'th wood

 

[gnolife]

None of the above.

Hall i' th' Wood is now the closest guess.

 

[Gathursty]

Bromley Cross :P

 

[gnolife]

Bromley Cross :P

Is exactly where it is.

 

[Gathursty]

Have a look.

 

[crehld]

Hmmm. Looks new. That sign and the handrail colour looks like it might be of ScotRail origin, so let's say Galashiels.

 

[Crossover]

Definitely not Galashields - there are no steps like that at Gala (and no bridge for that matter, either)

 

[OxtedL]

I can't tell if there is another platform or not, but I think crehld is onto something good here...

Gorebridge?

 

[gnolife]

Gorebridge?

I'm pretty certain that there's two platforms in the picture, so I'll stick with the borders theme and say Stow.


OFIC

 

[Gathursty]

It is from this weekend but it's not any of the new Border stations you've guessed yet.

 

[DasLunatic]

Oxford Parkway?

 

[Buttsy]

Shawfair?

Actually, could it be James Cook?

We have a winner. Shawfair. My post was meant to come across as it's not any of those Border stations that have been said already but it was indeed a Border station.

 

[Buttsy]

Ok, try this, hopefully not too difficult:

 

[Crossover]

Harrington?

 

[Buttsy]

Harrington?

Nope, sorry

 

[Gathursty]

I can tell it's a Northern station but I'm not too confident here... Marple?

 

[Buttsy]

Nope, but it is in Northernland...

 

[clagmonster]

That is a very nice stone wall. It is also well used, judging by the opposite platform. Appleby in Westmorland?

Not so I'm afraid

Clue anyone?

 

[Crossover]

Burnley Manchester Road?

 

[Buttsy]

No, sorry

 

[Crossover]

Not so I'm afraid

Clue anyone?

Go on then

 

[Buttsy]

This station is not in the place the name would suggest it is.
