Horsham. jdw.wor (http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/WWIT%209th10th%20July%202014/DSCF0112_zps4d19d5b0.jpg) 7. Weybourne, North Norfolk Railway. eightf48544 (http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/WWIT%209th10th%20July%202014/DSCF0041_zps076b1e9c.jpg) 8. Cromer.

Volks Electric Railway, Brighton. grahame (http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/WWIT%209th10th%20July%202014/DSCF0078_zpse899fafd.jpg) 10. Didcot Parkway. ellendune (http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/WWIT%209th10th%20July%202014/DSCF0121_zps6339f890.jpg) Title: Re: Where was I? 9th/10th July 2014 Post by: grahame on July 11, 2014, 03:32:15 I'm sure it is NOT the answer to no. 9 ... but I came across http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/districts/purbeck/11333601._/?
which tells of how a steam excursion was hit yesterday by the public sector strike. I'm guessing the real answer to No. 9 might be the Volks Electric Railway, Brighton - http://volkselectricrailway.co.uk Title: Re: Where was I? 9th/10th July 2014 Post by: JayMac on July 11, 2014, 03:43:32 I'm guessing the real answer to No. 9 might be the Volks Electric Railway, Brighton - http://volkselectricrailway.co.uk Correct. And most disappointed was I not to get a ride. Been to Brighton many times but STILL not manage a trip on the Volks. This time a strike - a downside to local authority ownership. Last time closed due to weather damage. Time before just missed operating times... Title: Re: Where was I? 9th/10th July 2014 Post by: thetrout on July 11, 2014, 04:36:19 Complete guess. But is
Number 1 - Barnham. Number 2 - Somewhere in the Universe? :P ( Sorry... Someone was going to do it :P :-\ :-X ;D ) Title: Re: Where was I? 9th/10th July 2014 Post by: Worcester_Passenger on July 11, 2014, 05:49:56 2 Sloane Square Underground Station.

Title: Re: Where was I? 9th/10th July 2014 Post by: bobm on July 11, 2014, 23:04:56 No. 3 Norwich I was just saying to bignosemac yesterday, a picture quiz is not a picture quiz until you get a contribution from brooklea! ;D Title: Re: Where was I? 9th/10th July 2014 Post by: eightf48544 on July 11, 2014, 23:39:50 7. North Norfolk Railway Weybourne?
Title: Re: Where was I? 9th/10th July 2014 Post by: eightf48544 on July 11, 2014, 23:43:27 Did you do some kind of circular tour via South Coast London Cromer and back via Didcot or vice versa?
Title: Re: Where was I? 9th/10th July 2014 Post by: Surrey 455 on July 12, 2014, 00:47:40 Looking at no 3 I did initially think that this was a Greater Anglia Station because of the grey pillars but the station looks in better condition than any of their other stations that I've been through. :)
No 6 . Jdw.Wor says Horsham. I think he's right. The overhead walkway looks familiar and I've got a feeling or vague memory that some trains do split / attach there.

It was a couple of days away eightf. Up (geographically, but down in railway parlance) to a very windy North Norfolk on Wednesday, then back to the London area for an overnight stay in a hotel near Gatwick. On Thursday it was a trip to the South Coast then back home to Bristol via London. Here's what it was like at Cromer. Hardly promenading weather: (http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/WWIT%209th10th%20July%202014/DSCF0052_zpsd45964b4.jpg) Title: Re: Where was I? 9th/10th July 2014 Post by: JayMac on July 12, 2014, 01:13:08 Just picture no. 5 to go.
