Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on May 09, 2016, 21:55:48 Well, I'm sorry to do it, but I'll go for the very easy, low-hanging fruit, one first:
28. Avonmouth. The old parcels office building. :( Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 21:58:38 28. Avonmouth. Correct.
Have another go CfN. You weren't quick enough! :P Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on May 09, 2016, 21:58:53 Pah! Beaten to even that one, within a minute, by Western Pathfinder! :o ::) ;D
Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: grahame on May 09, 2016, 21:59:14 Oooo - I think I recognise some for once.
Is no. 2 2M17 taken at about 20:00 in the evening? Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: old original on May 09, 2016, 22:04:38 15. Plymouth
Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 22:05:23 Oooo - I think I recognise some for once. Is no. 2 2M17 taken at about 20:00 in the evening? It could well be... but where? Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 22:07:34 15. Plymouth Correct! I thought the destination blind might confuse. No flies on you though o o. Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: grahame on May 09, 2016, 22:14:07 Oooo - I think I recognise some for once. Is no. 2 2M17 taken at about 20:00 in the evening? It could well be... but where? Oh - where ;D ... Chippenham Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: AMLAG on May 09, 2016, 22:16:43 Pic 25 = Sherborne
Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 22:18:46 Oh - where ;D ... Chippenham Correct! 2. is Chippenham EXIF data tells me I took that image at 0933 on Saturday 15th September 2012. I'm not sure the EXIF data is accurate though. I 'lost' many pictures from my hard drive a month or so ago. Recovery of them left me with some corrupted data. Did Chippenham have those single lens signals by September 2012? Can you reconcile the date and time with timetable data? Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 22:19:02 Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on May 09, 2016, 22:25:04 Have another go CfN. You weren't quick enough! :P Alright - I'll cut to the chase - Enfield Chase (picture 23)! ;) :D ;D To be fair, the station name appears on a board on the far platform in your picture. Otherwise, there's no way I would have been able to identify it. :P ::) :-[ Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: stuving on May 09, 2016, 22:26:06 13: Lewes

Otherwise, there's no way I would have been able to identify it. :P ::) :-[ Yes. Correct! On a plate. I was editing and re-hosting that picture while you were posting. You'll see the board has now been blanked. :-[ Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 22:32:55 No. 4 is New Romney on the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway Correct! Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on May 09, 2016, 22:33:24 This isn't a second guess within the first 24 hours (whoever would do such a thing?!), but I have an uneasy feeling that there's possibly a Taunton in there, somewhere ... ;) :D ;D
Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 22:34:53 Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 22:39:24 This isn't a second guess within the first 24 hours (whoever would do such a thing?!), but I have an uneasy feeling that there's possibly a Taunton in there, somewhere ... ;) :D ;D Could it be number 8? On the Somerset Underground (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=17017.0)? :P ;) ;D Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: Surrey 455 on May 09, 2016, 22:49:30 10.

Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 22:55:08 Swindon Designer Village I'll take that as the answer to number 26. Correct! Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: paul7575 on May 09, 2016, 22:56:06 6 - Clapham Jn (platform 7).
Paul Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 22:57:23 Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 22:57:38 Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: patch38 on May 09, 2016, 23:04:02 This whisky must be stronger than I thought: I could have sworn you said "Correct" just now ;D Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 23:08:06 This whisky must be stronger than I thought: I could have sworn you said "Correct" just now ;D Sorry, I did. Strong liquor here too. There is a Bath Spa in there - just not number 7. I did the 'Correct!' before checking the OP. Feel free to have another go at any picture. Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: trainer on May 09, 2016, 23:09:06 I think 14 is Bath Spa
Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: patch38 on May 09, 2016, 23:10:52 Feel free to have another go at any picture. OK then - I'll go for the new exit at Tottenham Court Road for No. 8. Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 23:14:19 Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 23:14:34 Feel free to have another go at any picture. OK then - I'll go for the new exit at Tottenham Court Road for No. 8. Correct! Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: Oxman on May 09, 2016, 23:39:50 9 St Pancras
Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 09, 2016, 23:51:02 Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: grahame on May 10, 2016, 03:00:58 Oh - where ;D ... Chippenham Correct! 2. is Chippenham EXIF data tells me I took that image at 0933 on Saturday 15th September 2012. I'm not sure the EXIF data is accurate though. I 'lost' many pictures from my hard drive a month or so ago. Recovery of them left me with some corrupted data. Did Chippenham have those single lens signals by September 2012? Can you reconcile the date and time with timetable data? I can recognise 09:33 on a Saturday, but then not the train reporting code I guessed, as that was the only Monday to Friday northbound that's often a 158 in (f)GW(R) colours. The EXIF time /day of the week is possible from that ing ago - the 09:20 (Melksham) to Swindon ... becoming the Cheltenham Spa train at Swindon. Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: Worcester_Passenger on May 10, 2016, 05:16:14 5 is Market Harborough.

The trouble is, going back to my days working with the Severnside CRP, I generally only saw the platform sides of the stations ... :P ::) :-[ Title: Re: Bumper Picture Quiz May 2016 Post by: JayMac on May 11, 2016, 00:19:00 As we're now outside 'the first 24 hours' time limit, may I have another go, please? 7.

You just beat me to that one, and with a similar thought process. I bet due to the green colour scheme people have been searching the 'Southern' TOC area without much success. Which then makes me wonder if the red in picture 20 is also a bit misleading in terms of the responsible TOC...

You remain a knowledgeable bunch. Next time I'll have to make the obligatory Taunton picture much harder.
