Yeovil Pen Mill perhaps? Title: Re: Where was this one taken ... ? (Community Rail Partnership vinyls on units) Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 15, 2013, 07:54:51 No ... and no. ;)

The platform bricks were indeed a clue - and the reflections in the train windows. :P Interestingly, I've seen the Devon & Cornwall Community Rail Partnership liveried unit in Bristol more often than I've seen the Severnside Community Rail Partnership one there! :o ::) ;D Title: Re: Where was this one taken ... ?

I think I would prefer a hypothetical TransWilts Rail Partnership unit to be active in the general Bristol area most of the time - from Brighton to Cardiff and Great Malvern to Taunton rather than just on Swindon - Salisbury, but with occasional trips as far afield as St. Ives. Title: Re: Where was this one taken ... ? (Community Rail Partnership vinyls on units) Post by: bobm on November 16, 2013, 07:59:06 In the last 18 months I have travelled aboard the Devon and Cornwall liveried unit from St Erth to St Ives, Teignmouth to Paignton, Exeter to Exmouth and twice between Swindon and Westbury. The latter two journeys were a year apart with the trip to Exmouth in between.
The Severnside unit has proved more elusive - I have made just one trip from Westbury to Bristol Temple Meads. Not that I am a train spotter or anything..... ;D Title: Re: Where was this one taken ... ? (Community Rail Partnership vinyls on units) Post by: thetrout on November 17, 2013, 17:15:47 As soon as I saw the bricks I knew it was Bristol Temple Meads. Sadly others beat me too it. It's not the first time I've guessed Bristol Temple Meads on this forum just on the bricks alone...
*I'll get my coat and go now as I clearly need to get out more; without visiting Bristol Temple Meads ;D* *edit* Even our Forum Host agrees that thetrout is observant... :-[ http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=8041.msg81154#msg81154 (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=8041.msg81154#msg81154) This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
