Where am I?

[DasLunatic]

...Wales - more specifically, Ebbw Vale?

...Wales - more specifically, Ebbw Vale?

Sorry not Ebbw Vale Mr Lunatic, also a bit of a clue would be it isn't anywhere in Wales if that helps a little?

 

[madjack]

A well-disguised Severn Beach, I would say

A well-disguised Severn Beach, I would say

Although not well enough to fool you there madjack

Well Done, and a Merry Christmas to you!

 

[madjack]

Sad to see the lack of sidings, a shadow of its former self...

What about this one then, too easy or too difficult?

Could that be Yeovil Pen Mill?

 

[madjack]

Well done , back to you

 

[Ash Bridge]

Thanks, moving away from the Southwest see what you make of this one.....

 

[madjack]

Small place, no car park, a clear contour to the other side to the platform. Branch line running NW to SE.

You are Burneside and I claim my £5.

 

[Ash Bridge]

I must say I'm very impressed! And there's me thinking that the small boats nearby may have thrown you a little as regards location ha ha. Anyway well done and over to you

 

[madjack]

You don't know how long I spent on it . When I came back to it and zoomed out I noticed the steepish hill and house on the left that you'd kept in the pic, and was reminded of the Windermere line straight away. Easy if you recognise it.

Here's another one with a few clues...

 

[Gathursty]

Girvan?

 

[madjack]

Girvan is correct, well done. Over to you.

 

[Gathursty]

Getting all mixed up with the quizzes. I've not got a suitable image as yet so open floor it is.

 

[A Challenge]

I think that is more suited to Guess the Station?

 

[DanTrain]

Try this one then

 

[madjack]

A small settlement on a main line, high bridge on the right implies hilly terrain so somewhere inland. But the West/East orientation was a red herring. Blair Atholl.

 

[DanTrain]

Yep,well done

 

[madjack]

I think this one's easy, see how you do

 

[DanTrain]

After trawling most of Glasgow and East Anglia, is it Waterbeach?

 

[madjack]

Well done Sir. I didn't think there were that many other staggered platforms on overhead electrified lines? Back to you...☺

 

[DanTrain]

I don't think there are, but I didn't know that Wisbeach was one so I had to look through all OHLE lines on that alignment. Try this (I think it's quite hard)

Google Maps won't let me turn labels off on my phone, so there's a red splodge instead, don't take anything from its lengh, I may or may not have lengthened it

 

[madjack]

Sanquhar, on the Dumfries line, reopened in the 90s I guess?

 

[DanTrain]

Yes, you're too good at this!

 

[madjack]

Just got a bit of time for armchair travel at the moment over the holiday...

Here's a straightforward one for anyone who's studied this line, I think.

 

[Ash Bridge]

Tonfanau Cambrian Coast Line?

 

[madjack]

Well done, did you recognise it straight away?

 

[Ash Bridge]

Well done, did you recognise it straight away?

Yes kind of, direction of the line and openish feel to the landscape plus the remains of the former RAF base buildings sort of gave it away really, not passed through for a few years now but still remember it well. See what you think about this one....

 

[madjack]

As we're heading towards a week can I ask a clue-question?

... Is it significant that the two trackbeds are different?

 

[Ash Bridge]

I think it's just a case of some track renewal or perhaps fresh ballast dropped recently around the time of the satellite image. A clue would be that it's a Northern operated station served only by their trains if that's of any help?
