Title: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: grahame on May 28, 2013, 22:42:59 Not a railway train in any picture - but still a Heart of Wessex Ranger theme. Can you place each of these images? Each is taken in a location where you can go on your Heart of Wessex Ranger ticket. Try one each for the first 24 hours

Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: TheLastMinute on May 28, 2013, 23:38:09 Is 2 the ex works (now a shopping village) in Swindon?
Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: Timmer on May 29, 2013, 06:05:18 1. Maiden Newton
Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: grahame on May 29, 2013, 06:08:57 1. Maiden Newton 5. Weymouth Is 2 the ex works (now a shopping village) in Swindon? All correct! Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: Kim on May 29, 2013, 07:11:48 6 is Bath I think.
Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: grahame on May 29, 2013, 07:35:24 6 is Bath I think. Yes, it is ... showing the new airport bus that started running a couple of months back. Looks smart, and a handful of passengers; let's hope they have a good summer season to get the service well established. I picked up a leaflet at the bus station to have on hand for our hotel guests as this makes Bristol Airport a practical prospect from us by public transport. 5 p.m. - crowded bus station, and the information centre staff trying to serve everyone and get them out the door quickly so that they could shut up shop and go home too. Shouldn't the information centre be open during the peak hour form 5 to 6, rather than closing at the start of it? Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: anthony215 on May 29, 2013, 10:32:21 I am going to take a guess at this but is number 8 Frome?
Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: Southern Stag on May 29, 2013, 10:51:06 4.Westbury
Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: grahame on May 29, 2013, 12:36:41 4. Is indeed Westbury ... but 8 isn't Frome, I'm afraid
Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: grahame on May 29, 2013, 18:11:16 3., 7. and 8. to go. All pictures taken within the last seven days, if that's any help.
Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: Red Squirrel on May 29, 2013, 20:24:07 Is 8 the new exit at Bath Spa?
Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: grahame on May 29, 2013, 23:54:17 Is 8 the new exit at Bath Spa? Bath is correct, and near the new exit - looking up from the London side staircase. Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: Timmer on May 30, 2013, 06:09:24 7 Bradford-on-Avon
Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: grahame on May 30, 2013, 06:20:14 7 Bradford-on-Avon Yes - that's right - from the temporary footbridge. Leaves just number 3 to identify: (http://www.wellho.net/pix/hobs3.jpg) Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: steves on May 30, 2013, 07:54:06 Number 3 looks like the Weymouth Seafront "land train" - but I don't know where the picture was taken.
Title: Re: Heart of Wessex Observer Post by: grahame on May 30, 2013, 08:23:42 Number 3 looks like the Weymouth Seafront "land train" - but I don't know where the picture was taken. It is indeed ... taken from that new lift / tower thing that gives views over the whole area from the way out to the north pier. Interesting ride to take once - not sure I would do so every time if I was going to Weymouth regularly again this year!
