25. Lancaster

Apologies for the delay in confirming the answers.....I went away for a couple of days and forgot the printout of which picture was which.  My memory is not what it once was.....


I will update this evening.

38.  Edinburgh Waverley

Paul

Wow, a picture quiz where I know more than one answer, there's a couple already guessed that I knew but hopefully I'll fill a few gaps with these!

2: Alnmouth (for Alnwick)
10: Dunbar
14. Forres (you didn't do a great job of obscuring the station sign!)
15: Newcastle
17: Edinburgh Waverley (sub line platforms 8&9)
19: York
22: Newcraighall
30: Southampton Central
33: Salisbury (bit of a guess)

With the exception of Burton and Forres all of the above have at one time been on my route card.

8. Portsmouth and Southsea (under P1 and 2).
34. Brighton

Paul

2. Runcorn Main? (Guess that one; long time since I've been there, I normally go to Widnes instead now ;) )

18. Sheffield?

39. Gatwick Airport?

No. 27 Lairg on the Far North Line

4 Oxenholme
6 Brighton
24 Chichester (?)
29 Sheffield
32 Preston
40 Southampton Central (?)

Hi

Apologies for the lateness in the update - by the time I got reunited with the answers, the coffeeshop was down.  Then for some other technical glitch, I couldnt log in and it has just been resolved today when the technical expert returned home.

I attributed the answers to the first person to mention them where multiple people have done so.

There are still 11 to get........

Technical issues permitting we'll be more speedy replying in future.

Flyingscotsman

28. Hastings

9.

Llandudno Junction?

You are quite correct (again!)


Its amazing what you can find outside stations

Sorry, no, not in this quiz

Confession.

I Googled, 'Boat RX53 station'  ;)

Oh, and you've tagged picture 9 with my answer to 28.

12. Wick

and 3. Eastbourne

18. Derby
29. Betws-y-Coed
45. Bridgend

All updates have been done. Sorry for the mix up with picture 9. which is still not been taken.  I must stop asking my technical expert to stop doing my work when she has had to many sherbets.

28. Was indeed Hastings Ship.  Well done to Big Nose Mac...for using "GOOGLE"

We only have five more to get and then the quiz will be finished.



Flyingscotsman

Even when he's had no Sherberts the Flyingscotsman makes a deliberate error.......

Touche ;D

13 Rhyl

Sorry Worcester_Passenger.......not Rhyl.........slight clue, not even that part of the country, please reassess and try again.





Flyingscotsman

Two more;
9. Haywards Heath
and
26. Slateford

Well done to BrookLea

9. Is Haywards Heath.......... Victoria to Brighton main line

26. Is Slateford...................Edinburgh to Carstairs main line

Well that now 3 left........ :o



Flyingscotsman

40.Hastings

 :o The Southern Stag is right on the ball

40. is Hastings Booking Office, Well done






Flyingscotsman ::)

Is 13, Horley?

Sorry, picture 13 is not Horley :-*


But we only have 2 pictures left to get,  13 and 42 now does anybody else want a guess before I go to bed?






Flyingscotsman

I'm fairly confident that 13 is a Southern station and possibly one on the West Coastway Line.

Am I warm on either of those fronts?

Please feel free to have a stab at your answers...either you will be congratulated or a big No No....big nose mac.....lol

All I can say is they are on the rail network and not on any private railway system, nor are they on the DLR system....lol






Flyingscotsman ;D

Those wide platforms do look very familiar from that area. Perhaps Chichester?

13. I'll take a stab at Worthing.

Sorry picture 13 is not Worthing :D








Flyingscotsman

13) I'm going to take a hunch at Gillingham (Kent) :)

I'm fairly confident that 13 is on the Southeastern Network ;)

Again sorry, 13 is not Gillingham. ???








Flyingscotsman ;D

Sorry Southern Stag picture 13 is not Chichister ::)




Flyingscotsman ;D

To aid all you of you who are stumped at picture 13.

To narrow it down, this is in fact a Southern station and was part of the old Network Southeast sector many years ago.

But we also still have picture 23 & 42 and everybody seems to be forgetting about it. ??? ::) :-*




Flyingscotsman ;D

13 is Bexhill

Well Done To BrookLea

Picture 13. is Bexhill

Now can anybody get picture 42 and get this quiz finished before the weekend.................
The Quizzes I Have Posted, I Have Always Been The Winner And I Have Had To Give The Answers..........

Picture 42 Is Very Easy If You Know Where It Is... :D :-* ::)

But You Have All Forgotten About Picture 23...................................LOL LOL LOL


Flyingscotsman ;D

Just updated the pictures with their relevant location. Sadly I had to wait for the technical expert to return to remember how to do this.

Just two left to get - 23 and 42.

No clues this evening.

Enjoy.

Flyingscotsman   ;D

I'm not even sure what Picture 23 even is... Some kind of stone artwork?

Picture 23.

Is some kind of sculpture on the railway network, and going by some of my questions, it could be north south east or west.

You can be sure it just seems to be hanging around at a station........................and yes that was some kind of clue..where else would you buy a ticket...lol

Picture 42.

Is in fact a bay end platform....................and yes, that was another clue


Flyingscotsman ;D

23. St Pancreas

Edit: Belay that; St Spleen

Picture 23.

Sorry not even close.......................... ::)






Flyingscotsman ;D

St Gall Bladder?

There's a North, East, South and West Acton (going to Town here!), and there's Hanger Lane too.

Not to forget Actons Central and Main Line

Nor this Acton (http://www.panoramio.com/photo/16520733)

Then there's Acton Main:

(http://www.museumofchildhood.org.uk/__images/site-images/collections-images/action-toys-images/action-man-1977.jpg)

Thank you for the Acton Man, that takes me back, the amount of my mum's talc I used to get his wet suit on, only to find out he could not swim.

Thank god  for Patrick Duffy, "The Man From Atlantis".

Now back to the quiz.......
Picture 23.

Clue Number 1. It is in a railway station, not outside the main railway premises.

Clue Number 2. It is hanging on the wall, along with other items.


Clue Number 3. It is on the Southern railway network.

Clue Number 4. If you go onto You Tube.... you will see that I drove a FGW HST football special 43124 43148.....(actor Fees will apply).

Picture Number 42. Well what can I say................It is still a Bay End

23) Fratton ::)

Nice two-tone by the way ;D

Picture 23.

Well it seems some people were doing some fishing on this picture......guess what?....I reeled in THE TROUT.......

Sorry not Fratton...............Glad you like the You Tube Clip.........There are more.. ::) :o ::)





Flyingscotsman ;D

23: Portsmouth Harbour

23. Eastleigh, that would tie in with the East, South, North or West clue.

I am pretty confident now that 42 is of the buffer stop adjacent to platform 1A at Bridgend.

Is that quiz over?

I'd say so!

Brooklea is correct at Bridgend - Finally!

however 23. is NOT Portsmouth Harbour

Final answer...Number 23. Portsmouth and Southsea

And I'm sure of that!

Thanks for the entertainment flyingscotsman

Well that is my quiz over. I would like to thank all who took part in the quiz.

BrookLea came out on tops.........but on the others hand........maybe BrookLea has too much time on their hand!!! But great to see.

Now some of you used Google to find answers, very clever!

Look out for more pictures arriving.........

Good luck with the quiz Bignosemac has active at the present moment.


Please may I ask for feedback on my quiz.....too easy/hard etc.

Did you like the You Tube clip?


Flyingscotsman ;D

Thought for the day..................only 187 days to Xmas

Thanks for a most diverting and tough quiz flyingscotsman.  ;D

I'll take the opportunity to point folks to the prize picture quiz I'm currently running.

http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=12483.0

There's a week left to enter, closing date 11:59pm Sunday 30th June, so plenty of time to mull over the pictures and get your entry in. There's only been a handful of entries thus far so don't be afraid to enter even if you can only answer a selection of the pictures.

I enjoyed looking through the pictures,  thank you FLyingScotsman ... but didn't butt in with any answers as I simply didn't know.   It's good to have a variety of setters, with a variety of styles; carry on as you do / would love to see another one like this sometime.

Peronsal thoughts ...

* Once it's down to just a handful of pictures left to identify, why not repeat them in a fresh post - then people aren't scolling back and forth.  And more so where you've generated so much interaction the thread is several pages long.

* That was a tough quiz for those of us who don't have much out-of-area knowledge.  As far as I can see, none were First Great Westrn managed stations (although about a dozen are FGW served, if you can call 2 trains each way a day a "service" in some cases).

I used to keep quizzes down to around a dozen questions to keep the page load time reaonably fast even on poor connections. But Im guessing that may no longer be a valid concern ... thoughts, anyone?  Am I out of date?

Of course, if you followed my thoughts into actions, you would end up with a quiz looking too much like my quizzes, so please don't.  I enjoyed it just the way it was!

Thank you to all, for the comments.......another quiz will be on it's way in the future.

Good luck to all who is doing the quiz that Bignosemac has got going at present.........I have got a few of them, nothing to shout about..so I will remain silent.

Medical tomorrow, maybe they might let me back driving those big trains....
