Good Luck ;D

11 looks very much like it was taken at Clapham Junction to me. Is that 458 arriving at/departing from Clapham Yard?

Arriving :) Yes Clapham Junction ;)

5. East Croydon.

As for number 7. I've met one or two very disturbing train drivers.  :D

  ^
 
What he said.  ;D

Indeed. On both counts ;D Ya, East Croydon... On a positive note for Btline - ECR Still uses Phil Sawyer ;) :P :D

4-Redhill? Can't think of anywhere else where a Southern 377 and FGW 16x would meet other than Reigate which doesn't have an island platform, perhaps very occasionally at Guildford. That looks rather like the island at Redhill as well. The sign outside Redhill when I was last there was rather interesting, it listed Southeastern and FGW Link as TOCs serving the station. Southeastern don't service Redhill anymore and FGW Link are long gone.

You don't need to... It's Redhill ;)

*edit* I took that picture from inside a Class 377 which I boarded from one of the very stations that SE used to serve before the route was handed to Southern ;)

2. Farringdon.  (Thameslink side.)

View of the southward extension towards the Snow Hill end.  The brickwork section shown is below the original underground station building, they weren't allowed to open it out for some reason so each platform has a massive brick bridge pier at about the 4 car point of a 12 car train, leaving a pretty narrow platform with this 'passageway' behind it.

Paul

12. Harrow and Wealdstone

The fences on the fast line platforms weren't there on my last visit.

10) is Taunton

14 Moorgate Met line bays you can just see the blocked off Widen Lines platforms on the right.

Correct. Farringdon. Assuming we're talking about the Snow Hill in Birmingham then wrong direction ;) everything else you've said is about right though ;) On the right side of the passageway there is indeed a rather narrow platform


Correct - Harrow & Wealdstone


No Sorry. Feel free to have another go ;)


Ya. Moorgate Metropolitan Line Bay Platforms :)

I am going to take a guess and would say number 8 is London Victoria

Is no. 9 Westbury?

It is indeed; London Victoria


Sorry, No. Feel free to have another go ;)

10 is Westbury

I'll have a punt on number 7 being London Bridge. NR signage, looks like some building work going on and there is a "bridge" exit IIRC.

9- Salisbury?

I think the reference is to Snow Hill tunnel which is immediately to the south of Farringdon Station. In which case it is the opposite direction to Birmingham! So he is right.

It is indeed ;)


Good Shout. London Bridge is correct. Taken on one of the through platforms :)

Correct. Salisbury it is. In fact that FGW 158 is the same 158 that is in Picture 10.

Well 24 hours has been and gone so the rest are up for grabs ;)

The Network SouthEast clock in #13 is bugging me. Could it possibly be East Croydon again?

If not, am I warm? And again, if not, could I have a clue?  :P

Not even close I'm afraid...

A Clue Sir? sure... Station is served by the same TOC that serves the station in Piccy 3 ;)

I never get bored of the ticking of these clocks standing on the platform even if they did go haywire now and again. I liked the design as well.

Seeing it go from 09:59:59 to 10:00:00 was wierdly satisfying as well with the clunking as the numbers changed in sequence.

3. Shenfield?

Fraid Not :(

3. Upminster - confirmed using GSV

However the clue that suggested it was that the platform where the photograph was taken from has a different electrification system to that alongside, and it looks to be LU style DC; and LU and NXEA meet like this at Upminster, where the Romford shuttle service terminates on the north of the station alongside the LU lines.

Paul

Yes, Upminster ;)

You're also right in that the picture is of a Class 321 on the Upminster - Romford Shuttle. ;)

So Just 1, 6 & 15 Left to get folks... Anyone need any clues?

Not bad to get that correct! Was an educated guess of where FGW 158s go and SWT 158/9s go!

Going to take a shot in the dark at Sheffield for number 6.

I've a feeling 13 is Tottenham Hale. Am I right?

No, sorry :(


Bingo. Tottenham Hale ;D

To help this along ...
1. Chingford
6. Doncaster
15. Swanley
and I will be aMAZEd if any are even close!   (Good change though, trout, to give hints by telling me if I'm hot, warm or freezing cold!)

1. Chingford: Right County... Wrong TOC ;-) So I'll say warm...
6. Doncaster: Luke Warm... You can get direct trains from Doncaster to that station
15. Swanley: Also Luke Warm

But if I told you that every picture was taken on the same day with the exception of 6 which was taken on Thursday last week (14/02/2013)... That might make it a little easier perhaps? ;-)
