Where am I?

[GrimsbyPacer]

Cromer's correct. I never noticed file name. Next time I'll rename when posting.
Your turn gnolife.

 

[Class172]

I will admit that I am in two minds regarding the rotation issue, since strictly speaking, the map extract should have its original alignment preserved. However, there are some extracts (particularly those that have been taken from helicopters etc) that naturally cannot follow this rule of having north up.

I would rather the rules remain fairly simple, and avoid special concessions to particular images, the rotation of extracts will be allowed for posting; after all, some are far too easy normally so the extra perspective should make game play more interesting. The rules at the head of the thread will be amended duly.

 

[GrimsbyPacer]

Good call on editing rules. There might of been confusion as to what North is afterall, compass North is different to Map North etc.

 

[Pigeon]

May I interject that the sample satellite image at the beginning of the thread is Droitwich since noone seems to have mentioned it

 

[Buttsy]

Has open floor been called or are we waiting for Gnolife to post?

 

[GrimsbyPacer]

No mention of open floor. But gnolife hasn't said anything in over 2 days.
Is there a time limit?

 

[Peter Mugridge]

3 days, isn't it, based on other quiz threads?

 

[Class172]

Whilst it isn't explicitly mentioned, Peter is right; unless otherwise stated you can treat it as being three days before open floor is called, which should allow you to continue now.

 

[GrimsbyPacer]

New Image.
North is topward.
Red tag is station you're after, other station shown is okay though.

 

[AndrewR232]

Burscough Junction?

 

[GrimsbyPacer]

Burscough Junction?

Correct! I should of blurred the road I guess.
Your turn AndrewR232.

 

[AndrewR232]

Correct! I should of blurred the road I guess.
Your turn AndrewR232.

Never noticed that!

Open floor...

 

[GrimsbyPacer]

Openfloor

Okay, another station. North is topward, one station on a North-South railway line. This should be harder.

 

[DasLunatic]

Is this Market Rasen?

 

[GrimsbyPacer]

Is this Market Rasen?

It is Market Rasen. Your turn DasLunatic.

 

[DasLunatic]

I can't seem to find a good photo, so I declare open floor.

 

[GrimsbyPacer]

I can't seem to find a good photo, so I declare open floor.

I got another. North is topwards again. I blurred area names and A/B Roads.

 

[DasLunatic]

...all except one, the B5124. Your station is Blackpool North.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

...all except one, the B5124. Your station is Blackpool North.

The piers are enough to get the location without looking up the road numbers, surely? I thought the same - Blackpool North - as soon as I saw the image!

 

[AndrewR232]

And so did I!

 

[GrimsbyPacer]

It is Blackpool North.
DasLunatic's turn to post or call Openfloor.
I'm out of pics for now.

 

[DasLunatic]

Here's one I just cooked up:

-Railway line in red
-Station denoted by orange circle

 

[backontrack]

Erm, Combe (Cotswolds)?

 

[DasLunatic]

Erm, Combe (Cotswolds)?

Nope, sorry.

 

[Class172]

May I point you to the latter section of the rules:-

You are allowed to block out place names from extracts (providing it is subtle) and rotate images but no other form of doctoring is allowed)

In future, please avoid from drawing additional markings on the map. I understand that it may allow the railway to be identified easier, however you're more likely to cover over potential features that may help destinguish the answer (particularly around the station itself). Thanks.

 

[Buttsy]

I think it's Eastern Counties (the B road number suggests east of the A1/M1), but difficult to know where it could be as you can't see whether it is single or double track.

 

[DasLunatic]

It's double-tracked, if that helps.

 

[Class172]

Thorpe-le-Soken?

 

[DasLunatic]

Thorpe-le-Soken?

Correct.

 

[backontrack]

I'll bite.
