Guess the Station...

[Matt Taylor]

:roll:


1st September 2006 after the 350s started on LM and Northern needed a spare unit.

Just out of curiosity which platform would that be?

 

[Track Basher]

It looks like the one in front of the ticket gates.

No it isn't it's that short one over on the right at the west end of the station.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Floor open - only got it 'cause I recognised the footbridge!

 

[Track Basher]

Try this one then.

 

[richard1976]

runcorn east

 

[Track Basher]

runcorn east

Is the correct answer. I thought it would last longer that that!

Richard to provide a photo.

 

[richard1976]

try this one

 

[Track Basher]

That is tough.

I am thinking Yorkshire and we have at least one Yorkshireman in the house.

Darton.

 

[richard1976]

no not darton

 

[Track Basher]

Well I haven't got the first idea.

Weeton

 

[richard1976]

no not weeton

 

[Track Basher]

Pannal

 

[richard1976]

no not pannal

try again

That phone symbol sign screams SYTPE station. but I'm not 100%. Kiveton Park

 

[richard1976]

not kiveton park

 

[Track Basher]

It looks fairly rural to me.

Wombwell

... But the constant blue colour scheme and electronic boards looks TPE-ish...

Does TPE not have more of a hint of pink in the blue. The First Group dark blue colour?

I think South Yorkshire is a good shout.

Chapeltown.

Chapeltown.

From what I can remember of Selby, Brough and Stalybridge, it's mostly blue. Also, I think Northern are more fond of the smaller electronic boards (as in Gtr Manchester)

 

[Track Basher]

I have just checked my photos as Selby. It is indeed the same colour and the CCTV cameras have the same logo also the same type of departure screen.

Does TPE have any stations in South Yorkshire?

I can't think of any off hand.

There is a reflection of the interior of the unit at the top of the picture and it looks like a 142 not 185 or 170. I suspect we are looking for a TPE station where Northern call.

No they don't, nearest is Scunny (in Lincolnshire) or Huddersfield and Dewsbury (West Yorkshire)

Can't be Scunny they don't have trees there (too much polution) makes a quick exit.

Not Huddersfield overall roof no shelters like that. Could be Dewsbury but I thought the platform was wider and the exit is at the other end (I think). There is a wall at that end of the platform.

OK I am going to go for another guess.

Northallerton.

I think that was a bad guess as I don't think Northern stop there.

 

[richard1976]

no one got it yet
keep trying

 

[Track Basher]

Lets have a go at Dewsbury then.

 

[richard1976]

not dewsbury

 

[Track Basher]

Staveley.

 

[richard1976]

Staveley.

correct

 

[Track Basher]

Deleted as Muggy is back.

Hello!

No, mine is not Addlestone.

Perhaps a further clue may be needed?

The change in mileage I referred to is as the result of a junction, but there is no junction there now.
