Title: Which, where and what story? Post by: grahame on June 09, 2013, 17:11:40 Would London Bridge Station Roof fit here?
The limit of future electrification? Phyllis and Ada are near here! Not exactly the "Didcot Dance", but you get the picture! (http://www.wellho.net/pix/nser1.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/nser2.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/nser3.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/nser4.jpg) Can you place the right picture with the right caption? When done, try the prize quiz (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=12483.0) I'll open for answers tomorrow! Title: Re: Which, where and what story?

Title: Re: Which, where and what story? Post by: bobm on June 10, 2013, 08:56:27 Picture 2 is London Paddington - Phyllis and Ada are near here!

No. 3 - location, and what do I mean by the "Didcot Dance"? Ironically, I'm on a train just drawing into Didcot. In the quiet carriage, enjoyng all the buffet announcements and the phone conversation of the guy next to me ;-) and just saw the Oxford train pull out <plug>And back to Bignosemac's prize quiz which I plugged in the original post here; I can only identify a handful of his pictures ... some are not easy at all, and it's really worth having a go</plug> Title: Re: Which, where and what story? Post by: eightf48544 on June 10, 2013, 09:46:09 Is 3 Swindon and it's the Gloucester train pulling out instead of the Oxford?
Title: Re: Which, where and what story? Post by: grahame on June 10, 2013, 09:51:58 Is 3 Swindon and it's the Gloucester train pulling out instead of the Oxford? You have it ... one and the same situation. But to be fair, most Gloucester / Cheltenham traffic from Bristol and west thereof would to via Yate or Chepstow. Missed connections are only going to be from Bath and Chippenham, or to Kemble, Stroud or Stonehouse in this case Title: Re: Which, where and what story?

Where on earth do they think they're going to put that? It looks enormous from that sketch, and would probably blight Aberystwyth's own listed station buildings. The Vale Of Rheidol's Llanbardan halt, out near Morrisons, would be a better place to try putting it I think. It's been a year since the VOR started building their new engine shed though I think (it says 2012 on it) and it's still not finished, so how do they think they'll have time to build their London Bridge museum?(http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/67874000/jpg/_67874806_67874805.jpg) This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
