And this was first thing in the morning. No idea how I managed to get the light traces without blurring the loco. Probably a combination of low light, high ISO and slow shutter.

Title: Re: Picture Quiz - Bumper selection. October 2014 Post by: LiskeardRich on October 14, 2014, 23:40:55 20- Chester.
Does the clue relate to the previous football club being City until someone screwed it up. The Phoenix club just being Chester? Title: Re: Picture Quiz - Bumper selection. October 2014 Post by: JayMac on October 15, 2014, 00:07:45 So 20=Rochester then. 20- Chester. Does the clue relate to the previous football club being City until someone screwed it up. The Phoenix club just being Chester? stuving is correct. It's the signal box just outside Rochester station. So, sorry richwarwicker, no. Rochester was a city from 1211 until 1998. It lost its city status due to an administrative error. It was four years until the error was discovered in 2002. The error came about when local government areas were changed. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/england/1991827.stm Attempts have been made by Rochester to recover city status, but thus far they've not been successful. All that aside, and with apologies for the poor picture, it's an architecturally interesting signal box. A better view (not my own), http://www.rail.co.uk/images/3105/original/rochester-signalbox-by-phil-marsh.jpg from the following web page: http://www.rail.co.uk/rail-news/2012/southeastern-announces-may-timetable-alterations/ Title: Re: Picture Quiz - Bumper selection. October 2014 Post by: Surrey 455 on October 18, 2014, 10:10:06 Quote 10. Gillingham. Ah, I looked at that photo. I was convinced that it must be a terminating station because there appear to be roads on three sides of it so spent much time on Google Streetview looking at terminating stations in the south. Gave up after an hour. This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
