Title: Ultra-recent! Post by: grahame on October 14, 2015, 11:15:17 In Contrast to PhilWakely's recent quiz - here is an ultra-modern one. Nothing more that 100 days old!

Bath Spa - Bignosemac (http://www.wellho.net/pix/modern1.jpg) 3. Taunton - The Void (http://www.wellho.net/pix/modern2.jpg) 4.Newton Abbott - SandTEngineer (http://www.wellho.net/pix/modern3.jpg) 5.Okehampton - PhilWakely (http://www.wellho.net/pix/modern4.jpg) 6. Kingswear - Rob on the Hill (http://www.wellho.net/pix/modern5.jpg) 7.Wilton - Trowres (http://www.wellho.net/pix/modern6.jpg) 8. Westbury - BobM (http://www.wellho.net/pix/modern7.jpg) 9. Swindon - Timmer (http://www.wellho.net/pix/modern8.jpg) 10. Weymouth - Paul 7755 (http://www.wellho.net/pix/modern9.jpg) Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: bobm on October 14, 2015, 11:55:12 I will leave out the really obvious one ;D - but number 8 is Westbury.
Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: PhilWakely on October 14, 2015, 12:09:42 5. Okehampton?
Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: Rob on the hill on October 14, 2015, 12:28:15 6. Kingswear?
Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: SandTEngineer on October 14, 2015, 12:33:14 4. Newton Abbot (former Moreton Hampstead Bay Line).
Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: grahame on October 14, 2015, 12:43:50 All correct so far ... I will fill them in on the quiz original
Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: chuffed on October 14, 2015, 12:45:20 Have had to resist the temptation to say 'Melksham' on all of them :o
Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: grahame on October 14, 2015, 12:48:46 Have had to resist the temptation to say 'Melksham' on all of them :o None of them is Melksham - though it tends to be 'tother end of most of the journeys I took pictures on! It's wonderful to be able to actually use the train to get to these places ... Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: JayMac on October 14, 2015, 14:10:26 2. Bath Spa
Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: eightf48544 on October 14, 2015, 14:15:04 10
It's got me puzzled there appears to be SWT 158? coupled to an (First) GWR 150? so possibly Salisbury. Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: Tim on October 14, 2015, 14:39:42 2. Bath Spa You beat me to it. Graham must have got up very early for that one. Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: grahame on October 14, 2015, 15:00:46 2. Bath Spa You beat me to it. Graham must have got up very early for that one. Indeed. I was up at 04:30 on Monday morning. 10 It's got me puzzled there appears to be SWT 158? coupled to an (First) GWR 150? so possibly Salisbury. It's not Salisbury, I'm afraid. As you may have noted from some of the earlier answers, there are some distinctly unusual workings shown in some of these pictures! Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: Tim on October 14, 2015, 15:13:10 A bit of a guess, but if 10 isn't Salisbury or Exeter (the canopy girders are wrong for either) then how about Southampton?
Could the unusual working be due to ex-Cardiff rugby specials? Title: Re: Ultra-recent!

Paul Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: the void on October 14, 2015, 16:04:20 1. Maiden Newton
3. Taunton Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: JayMac on October 14, 2015, 16:35:09 Ahem... second sentence in the OP... ::)
Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: grahame on October 14, 2015, 16:47:06 Is No 10 Weymouth? Paul Yes, it is 1. Maiden Newton 3. Taunton Yes, both right Ahem... second sentence in the OP... ::) Yes, but where a member who rarely takes part in these quizzes puts up an extra answer up, I'm going to use discretion - not all budding RPOs here! ;D Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: grahame on October 14, 2015, 16:50:36 Just No.s 7 and 9 to go.
Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: Timmer on October 14, 2015, 16:51:44 Just No.s 7 and 9 to go. Here's your number 9 Swindon.Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: Timmer on October 14, 2015, 16:54:56 Was to delighted to see, and I'm sure Chris will be too, a welcome return of a picture of the place beginning with T :D
Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: grahame on October 14, 2015, 17:13:37 Just No.s 7 and 9 to go. Here's your number 9 Swindon.Yep, it is! Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: Western Pathfinder on October 14, 2015, 17:25:13 No7 Golden valley line ?.
Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: Red Squirrel on October 14, 2015, 17:31:00 ...or maybe 7's somewhere near Luxulyan?
Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: grahame on October 14, 2015, 20:33:52 No7 Golden valley line ?. ...or maybe 7's somewhere near Luxulyan? No. 7 is going to be quite tricky unless you take a look at where I was that's not near a current station about a month ago. I did post in some detail on this site, about the site I'm showing. Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: Trowres on October 15, 2015, 00:30:38 Wilton?
Title: Re: Ultra-recent! Post by: grahame on October 15, 2015, 06:03:17 Wilton? Correct - taken on 12th September (see http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=16215.0 ) when I took the very short walk up from the event at the outlet village to a potential site for Wilton / Wilton Parkway. Just behind the trees to the right is the Wilton Park and Ride, to the left is the Exeter line and diagonally behind me big new developments of housing.
