M looks a bit fammmmiliar.   Not used to seeing trains there in the daylight - but is it Melksham?

I believe that 'I' is the new Paddington H&C/Circle line (Eastbound) platform looking west.

K = Taunton (sorry BNM)

E = Bedford Midland, one of my former "local" stations.

B= I am going to guess is Luton Airport Parkway

H. Westbury?

L looks like Trowbridge to me

N looks like Westbury for a second time.

A. Weston-super-Mare

I was thinking E looked familiar, but I realised that actually it just looks like a lot of the corridors at school! J looks perhaps like York to me.

All the ones I know for sure have been guessed.

I'll take a punt at B. also being Bedford Midland.

G - Durham

Nooo. you beat me to it.. That would have been my guess also... Having lived there for many years.. And the only one I (think I) knew  ;D

Is C Salisbury?  I would also agree with York for J

I think C is Westbury (now that young trout has reminded me elsewhere that I've actually been there! :-[ ).

I declare the quiz a free for all ;D

Some excellent eyes you lot all have; and I thought I was observant! :P ;D :D

I have updated the guessed pictures. I tried to post earlier, but my Galaxy S4 does something weird when trying to quote previous posts (Will attach pic later ;) )

So we have the following piccys left: D and F... Clues will be provided on request of the forum.

Oh and I'm sorry CfN... ;) ;D :D


2 - Nil. ;D

That is me banned from the forum now :P

Is D on the approach to Cogload Junction near Taunton?

That was my thought, too - the Wellington monument on the horizon??  :-\

Negative :(


If you're going by geographical landmarks along the same lines... You wouldn't go far wrong with D ;)

F is a tricky one... It was taken on the same day as G if that is any help... ;)

I will hazard a guess at F of Sheffield, on the basis that the pillar appears to be in the East Midlands Trains colour scheme.

Pah!  It's not a monument at all - sorry, I should have looked at your high-res picture before guessing!  ::) :-[

I'm impressed... It is indeed Sheffield :)


The clue remains correct either way :) ;)

Is D near to Blatchbridge Junction, between Frome and Bruton?

Afraid not... But you are considerably warmer than Cogload Junction... ;-)

D still remains unguessed, no?

Clue?

I can't speak... My throat is a little horse! :P ;)

Is D Yarnbrook?

It is indeed ;D

Taken from a footpath on White Horse Business Park.

The line is situated between Trowbridge and Westbury / Heywood East Junction. Closest railway landmark being Yarnbrook Viaduct (Despite it just been a road bridge ::) )

The "little horse" clue was a reference to Westbury White Horse :)
