Railway Station Picture Game

Looks like the temporary St. Pancras. But I didn't think the platforms at that side of the station were electrified.

It certainly is! Thameslink used to run into those platforms at St Pancras when the tunnel was closed.

Shows how good my observations skills are then...

Ok, how about this one? I've blurred the signal panel to make it a bit harder.

 

[Coxster]

Is it Wylam?

 

[Craig]

Correct

The 10 character thing is annoying

I find that. Been meaning to bring that up with Mr. Admin for all the good it'd do

 

[Zamracene749]

Reckon thats Wylam. If you ever get up this far the Boathouse just out of of wiew is a canny pub.

I really should stay in more.....

Slightly off topic, seen as though I haven't got an answer yet, but I recognised Wylam from the Tyne Valley route by eezypeazy (oh, and I also saw the picture on your galleries yesterday Craig!)

Yeah that shot was facing the same direction as eezypeazy's route. There's no photos on my site like that though (the station ones are facing the other way)

Correct! your turn.

Hmm, got a fairly difficult one here, reproduced with the authors permission.

Now, here's a cryptic clue for you.

This station opened before the main station in this city, but closed before the main station. Yet it opened because the main station closed.

 

[warriorofrovac]

a wild guess i'd say Nottingham

 

[bunnahabhain]

I want the full station name :P

 

[warriorofrovac]

Oh, heh. Nottingham Victoria Railway Station

 

[bunnahabhain]

Nope, I'm afraid not. It's certainly not Victoria station!

 

[warriorofrovac]

Nottingham Arkwright Street?

seems to suggest it is.

 

[bunnahabhain]

Nottingham Arkwright Street?

Yep, Nottingham Arkwright Street was constructed due to the construction of Victoria station over running, and it later closed during 1958 or 1959, and reopened in 1967 when Nottingham Victoria closed to enable the Nottingham to Rugby Central DMU shuttle to continue running and finally closed for good in 1969. I believe that makes it the only London Extension station to re-open excepting those under preservation.

The platforms were actually cantilevered out over the side of the viaduct due to the viaduct only having room for the tracks, though the station building area was built down to the ground and wasnt cantilereved.

It's very difficult to find photographs of Nottingham Arkwright Street as was.

 

[warriorofrovac]

Heh, cool. And i got there eventually. hehe

 

[bunnahabhain]

Penzance

 

[devon_metro]

Yer definatly, with an Arriva unit

 

[warriorofrovac]

Well Done, didnt take long :king:
The next picture is all yours Jamie

 

[bunnahabhain]

I decided to blur out the station sign and other telltale things in the vicinity of the area. Arnt I wonderful.

Your clue be this,

It's not on a main line, yet main line (InterCity) trains run through this station and indeed occasionally call at it.

 

[Guinness]

Meadowhall?

 

[bunnahabhain]
