Title: From my latest journey Post by: grahame on February 12, 2015, 07:00:21 I started a thread "how many stations have you been to in the last 2 months" a short while back ... but since then I've revisited some, and been to some more. Can you place these pictures?

Title: Re: From my latest journey Post by: grahame on February 12, 2015, 07:17:17 1. Pilning Correct - and quickly spotted for a station with so few calling trains or passengers! Title: Re: From my latest journey Post by: Worcester_Passenger on February 12, 2015, 07:49:55 4 (though there aren't any numbers!) Craven Arms
Title: Re: From my latest journey Post by: grahame on February 12, 2015, 08:14:14 4 (though there aren't any numbers!) Craven Arms The fourth picture is indeed Craven Arms - foremerly "Craven Arms and Stokesay". And may I recommend the excellent lunch at the Stokesay Inn - a five to ten minute walk from the station (http://www.wellho.net/pix/obj06.jpg) Title: Re: From my latest journey Post by: Richard Fairhurst on February 12, 2015, 09:31:27 2 looks like Knighton.
Title: Re: From my latest journey Post by: grahame on February 12, 2015, 10:08:14 2 looks like Knighton. Looks like Knighton .. because it was taken at Knighton ;D ;D - yes, well identified. I thought that would be one of the more difficult ones in this series too! Title: Re: From my latest journey Post by: Richard Fairhurst on February 12, 2015, 10:13:16 It's the dual Powys and Shropshire logos that give it away. Knighton station is in Shropshire - just - but the town is in Powys.

Title: Re: From my latest journey Post by: trainer on February 12, 2015, 17:20:25 Since we're on the Heart of (Central) Wales Line, could picture 3 be Llandrindod Wells?
Title: Re: From my latest journey Post by: grahame on February 12, 2015, 17:22:51 Since we're on the Heart of (Central) Wales Line, could picture 3 be Llandrindod Wells? Indeed it could be - and is. Though known as "Llandrindod" these days. Which leaves just the final picture to identify!

Here's one I didn't post as I thought it would be too easy for people to get right: (http://www.wellho.net/pix/llanwrytd.jpg) But thinking about it, the station is now called Llanwrtyd (without the Wells) but the sign hasn't changed, so I could have been a real pedant!
