Title: Re: A trouting quiz :) Post by: Chris from Nailsea on April 30, 2014, 18:55:35 Ooh, you so-and-so - that was the other one I knew! :o
Title: Re: A trouting quiz :) Post by: SandTEngineer on April 30, 2014, 19:05:08 As the 24 hours is up :P
17. Bristol Temple Meads 20. Taunton Title: Re: A trouting quiz :) Post by: Southern Stag on April 30, 2014, 20:13:53 4. Gatwick Airport. I'm not 100% sure but that's taken from First Class on a 442, and that's a 319 in the picture and the 'i' station sign appears to be in Gatwick Express colours.
Title: Re: A trouting quiz :) Post by: trainer on April 30, 2014, 22:19:44 My attempt to get an answer in was so eager I didn't see John R's reply in my rush. Ah well! Thanks for the fun. :D
Title: Re: A trouting quiz :) Post by: thetrout on May 02, 2014, 18:21:02 I believe 3 to be Bath Spa.... It is indeed Bath Spa :) As the 24 hours is up :P 17. Bristol Temple Meads 20. Taunton Both correct ;D 4. Gatwick Airport. I'm not 100% sure but that's taken from First Class on a 442, and that's a 319 in the picture and the 'i' station sign appears to be in Gatwick Express colours. Number 4 is indeed Gatwick Airport... Taken from inside a Gatwick Express Service for London Victoria... A Class 442 in First Class as you again pointed out :) So bonus points for detail ;) As per the PMs I received (Only 2 :( ) bignosemac - Correctly guessed 19 out of 20 ;D :o Quote from: bignosemac - PM 1. Reading - Yes 2. Newhaven Town - Yes 3. Bath Spa - Yes 4. Three Bridges ??? - No 5. Tottenham Hale - Yes 6. Brighton - Yes 7. Weymouth - Yes 8. Yeovil Junction - Yes 9. Southampton Central - Yes 10.

Gillingham (Dorset) - Yes 19. Sheffield - Yes 20. Taunton - Yes 19/20 :) Not Bad ;D Quote Only number 4 has completely stumped me. Looks like you're in a Gatwick Express branded service. It is indeed taken from inside a Class 442... It's not Three Bridges however ;) Chris from Nailsea Correctly guessed Number 3 as Bath Spa: Quote from: Chris from Nailsea - PM 3. Bath Spa (again!) ;) :D ;D My attempt to get an answer in was so eager I didn't see John R's reply in my rush. Ah well! Thanks for the fun. :D Happens to us all at some point ::) ;D ;) :D Title: Re: A trouting quiz :) Post by: Chris from Nailsea on May 02, 2014, 18:30:33 bignosemac - Correctly guessed 19 out of 20 ;D :o He was just showing off ... again. ::) :o ;D Title: Re: A trouting quiz :) Post by: JayMac on May 02, 2014, 22:00:22 Diligent research I prefer to call it! :P ;D
And to be fair, a few correct answers came in from others as I was compiling my list for the PM. In truth I think I only got 14 or 15 right solely by my own effort.
