Title: Where was I, last two days? Picture quiz. Post by: JayMac on February 13, 2013, 17:23:36 Just for fun. Half a dozen for folk to have a go at identifying.
Please. Just one guess each. If any are left after 11:59pm 13/02/2013 then you can have another go. Oh, a certain wandering trout is ineligible to take part. As we met up twice he kinda knows where I've been. ;) 1. (http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/100_1505_zps51b89b96.jpg) 2.

(http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/100_1526_zpsfbf22926.jpg) And for a bonus point can anyone tell me what is slightly unusual about these two tickets?

Post by: anthony215 on February 13, 2013, 17:39:38 I will take a guess and say number 1 is Shirehampton.

Post by: inspector_blakey on February 13, 2013, 17:42:00 Please. Just one guess each. Oh come on...he even put it in big letters!! Title: Re: Where was I, last two days? Picture quiz. Post by: The Tall Controller on February 13, 2013, 17:44:28 You can't catch a train to Barlaston or Wedgwood! You would have either walked or caught a bus.
P.S. Number 3 is definitely not Coventry from my knowledge of having spent 4 years there! Title: Re: Where was I, last two days? Picture quiz. Post by: JayMac on February 13, 2013, 17:59:30 Please. Just one guess each. Oh come on...he even put it in big letters!! And in bold and underlined. Gonna have to be even bigger and in CAPS next time. ::) Title: Re: Where was I, last two days? Picture quiz. Post by: JayMac on February 13, 2013, 18:00:18 I will take a guess and say number 1 is Shirehampton. Correct. I removed the other answers so others can have a go. Title: Re: Where was I, last two days? Picture quiz. Post by: JayMac on February 13, 2013, 18:02:00 You can't catch a train to Barlaston or Wedgwood! You would have either walked or caught a bus. Correct for the bonus point. Although I neither walked or caught the bus. Just used those destinations as an interesting split at Stoke-on-Trent. Well.... interesting to me!

Title: Re: Where was I, last two days? Picture quiz. Post by: LiskeardRich on February 13, 2013, 18:47:12 number 6 -I believe may be, to quote you from another thread!
Quote Pollard St, Manchester. Just one stop (New Islington, 3 mins) from Manchester Piccadilly on the newly opened tram line to Droylsden Title: Re: Where was I, last two days? Picture quiz.

Just one stop (New Islington, 3 mins) from Manchester Piccadilly on the newly opened tram line to Droylsden Sorry, no. That would have been too easy! This is New Islington: (http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/ni_zps276ba495.jpg) Title: Re: Where was I, last two days? Picture quiz. Post by: Rhydgaled on February 13, 2013, 18:55:04 I think 6 is Deansgate Castlefield.
I have an idea where 5 might be too. I still have one or two from my picture quiz from some time that nobody guessed, perhaps I should try adding one or two more shots to see if that gives folks a clue.

Title: Re: Where was I, last two days? Picture quiz. Post by: JayMac on February 13, 2013, 20:36:44 5. Manchester Oxford Road ? That timber ceiling is not that common on stations. Correct. Another great bit of Grade II listed architecture from the (original) London Midland Region: (http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/100_1518_zps4dca099b.jpg) The later added bit (before listing) to the right does rather spoil the clean lines of the frontage though. Title: Re: Where was I, last two days? Picture quiz. Post by: Andy W on February 13, 2013, 21:14:42 Is 3 Macclesfield?
Title: Re: Where was I, last two days? Picture quiz. Post by: JayMac on February 13, 2013, 21:23:35 Is 3 Macclesfield? Correct. All six, and the bonus, answered in record time. Well done all. ;) Title: Re: Where was I, last two days? Picture quiz. Post by: inspector_blakey on February 13, 2013, 23:02:43 Complete with old-style Network Rail logo... I didn't notice until recently, but there are actually two different versions in use! If you take a look at the website you'll see that in the current version all of the pieces of the red triangular motif join at a point in the top right-hand corner, and the company name is now rendered as "NetworkRail" with no space. I'll put my anorak away now. Title: Re: Where was I, last two days? Picture quiz. Post by: thetrout on February 14, 2013, 08:13:54 I was about to say that I knew most of those destinations but having "inside intel" I wasn't going to take part... ;D
