Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: ChrisB on November 29, 2015, 17:01:16 I reckon that's right - and 2 is Taunton!
Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: Oxonhutch on November 29, 2015, 17:02:30 1: Swindon
Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: Tim on November 29, 2015, 17:06:46 1, Swindon. What used to be a garden next to the BTP office
6, Bath (Christmas market crowds?) 7, Didcot Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: JayMac on November 29, 2015, 17:15:38 Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: ChrisB on November 29, 2015, 17:30:26 And 7 has already been taken....
Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: grahame on November 29, 2015, 17:46:24 Correct for 1, 2 and 7 - Swindon, Taunton and Didcot
6 is not quite Bath during Christmas Market Crowds. Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: Surrey 455 on November 29, 2015, 18:43:48 That is a VERY short platform at Taunton.
Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: Adelante_CCT on November 29, 2015, 18:48:24 4. Twyford
Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: ellendune on November 29, 2015, 19:22:53 6 is difficult, but I think it could be Swindon again.
Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: grahame on November 29, 2015, 19:36:31 4 is indeed Twyford
All 7 pictures are taken at different stations. Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 29, 2015, 19:47:26 I think 6. is Bath Spa - but with its usual patronage, not necessarily Christmas Market Crowds. ;) :D ;D
Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: grahame on November 29, 2015, 19:57:35 I think 6. is Bath Spa - but with its usual patronage, not necessarily Christmas Market Crowds. ;) :D ;D You are correct, Chris. This was before the Christmas Market opened - on my way back from Bristol at the start of November from the Railfuture meeting or the Campaign for Better Transport meeting. Picture proves that rail has a future, and we need better (more spacious) transport ;D Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: Rhydgaled on November 30, 2015, 11:56:31 Picture proves that rail has a future, and we need better (more spacious) transport More spacious yes, and in longer formations, but better would be difficult, the class 158 is quite possibly the best DMU ever (seriously, make the air-con reliable and give them a more-spacious interior, like the 175s have, and perhaps faster doors (again like the 175s have) and there's probabally not much else to improve).Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: TeaStew on November 30, 2015, 13:41:31 3 - Leeds?
Although reindeer might exist in other places too. Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: grahame on November 30, 2015, 14:04:02 3 - Leeds? Although reindeer might exist in other places too. yes indeed ... that was not an easy one! I haven't come across any other "don't sit on the the reindeer" signs in stations though ... Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: grahame on November 30, 2015, 22:52:53 Just one to go ...
5. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/qnv15_5.jpg) Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: Adelante_CCT on December 01, 2015, 06:30:00 I know!!! But I have already guessed one of them :(
Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: grahame on December 01, 2015, 06:36:35 I know!!! But I have already guessed one of them :( You are very welcome to tell us now. (( I didn't actually say "for the first 24 hours" after just "just one guess each" on this occasion - many thanks for noting and respecting that. )) P.S. When I put these up, I have a sub-plot where I guess which ones will take the longest to be answered - and I often get it wrong. In this case, however, no. 5 was one of the two I thought might take a while. Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: Adelante_CCT on December 01, 2015, 06:39:59 In which case, would it be Huntingdon?
Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: grahame on December 01, 2015, 06:49:17 In which case, would it be Huntingdon? It would indeed ... you get around a bit to know all of these, or have some impressive research capability / knowledge. Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: Adelante_CCT on December 01, 2015, 10:04:53 You said it was somewhere you had been in November and I remember you said you were heading either their or Cambridge a couple of weeks ago.
Title: Re: Taken in November, but where? Post by: TeaStew on December 01, 2015, 13:10:05 I would definitely not have got the Leeds one if I hadn't been there for work!
