Title: Re: A very traditions "where is this?" Post by: grahame on October 07, 2014, 20:18:43 1. Taunton? Yes ... ;D ;D ... A sorta wannabe King's Cross for platform 9.75 ... Title: Re: A very traditions "where is this?" Post by: JayMac on October 07, 2014, 20:34:12 Unlike Platform 9^ at KGX, all that's on the other side of that wall at Taunton is the roof of the booking office. :P
Title: Re: A very traditions "where is this?" Post by: Timmer on October 07, 2014, 20:42:09 I was thinking there just had to be a picture of Taunton and there was, the first one. Indeed a very traditional "where is this" which wouldn't have been the same without a picture of Taunton station.

Title: Re: A very traditions "where is this?" Post by: grahame on October 07, 2014, 22:32:20 7- Costa Coffee, Reading. Nope, Sorry :-\ All remaining pictures are ones I've taken in the last month, but I have travelled around quite a bit. Title: Re: A very traditions "where is this?" Post by: JayMac on October 07, 2014, 22:57:43 I'm fairly certain I've got the lot. Just waiting for the 24 hours to pass. ;)

Title: Re: A very traditions "where is this?" Post by: grahame on October 08, 2014, 04:05:03 2 York Yes ... a very odd looking structure in the roof of the main train shed. Doesn't look used - formerly an announcer's eerie? Title: Re: A very traditions "where is this?" Post by: readytostart on October 08, 2014, 07:11:57 5.
Scarborough, the clue being the longest station bench in the country (or world, I forget which!). Title: Re: A very traditions "where is this?" Post by: grahame on October 08, 2014, 07:26:31 5. Scarborough, the clue being the longest station bench in the country (or world, I forget which!). It is Scarborough, yes. Different sources say it's the longest in the "country", "Europe" or "World" ... judging by its location on what I suspect is purely an excursion platform, I suspect that the proportion of time that anyone is sat on it is pretty low these days ...

Title: Re: A very traditional "where is this?" Post by: grahame on October 08, 2014, 11:21:03 7 Stalybridge Sorry - no. I suspect (judging by the guess I've seen such as this) that there might be a whole genre of stations like this, so it may be that rather a lot of places end up being suggested before the right one! Title: Re: A very traditional "where is this?" Post by: JayMac on October 09, 2014, 21:05:50 I forgot that time was up.
7. Lancaster. Original Victorian floor tiles in a sympathetic re-use of a station building. Title: Re: A very traditional "where is this?" Post by: grahame on October 09, 2014, 23:56:20 I forgot that time was up. 7. Lancaster. Original Victorian floor tiles in a sympathetic re-use of a station building. Correct, and quiz completed! Title: Re: A very traditional "where is this?" Post by: Worcester_Passenger on October 10, 2014, 06:34:00 7. Lancaster. Original Victorian floor tiles in a sympathetic re-use of a station building. Which platform is that one on - northbound or southbound?Title: Re: A very traditional "where is this?" Post by: grahame on October 10, 2014, 07:55:18 7. Lancaster. Original Victorian floor tiles in a sympathetic re-use of a station building. Which platform is that one on - northbound or southbound?Southbound Title: Re: A very traditional "where is this?" Post by: Worcester_Passenger on October 10, 2014, 09:16:15 I must go and have a look next time I'm near there - though any changes that I make always seem to involve the northbound platform.

(http://www.wellho.net/pix/zz201410_1.jpg) 1. Taunton? Yes ... ;D ;D ... A sorta wannabe King's Cross for platform 9.75 ... Unlike Platform 9^ at KGX, all that's on the other side of that wall at Taunton is the roof of the booking office. :P It would appear that, judging by the increase in trolleys, when I was last in Taunton, many more people have tried to find a secret portal to a magical place.
