Title: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: JayMac on December 14, 2016, 13:12:57 Two station Christmas trees bookending my journey today. I suspect the locations will be easily guessed, but I'm posting in celebration of my first train travel in over 3 weeks. Unheard of for me. I've been suffering severe ferroequinological withdrawal symptoms.

That would have sent grahame's spellchecker into meltdown.
Dawlish and Teignmouth for the white horses ? Title: Re: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: JayMac on December 14, 2016, 13:18:42 Dawlish and Teignmouth for the white horses ? Second guess is correct. Teignmouth was my destination. Title: Re: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: Richard Fairhurst on December 14, 2016, 15:34:18 The "Travelling this Christmas from Teignmouth" poster is a bit of a giveaway!

I cropped out other signage, but missed that. :-[ Title: Re: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: LiskeardRich on December 14, 2016, 15:59:51 From the clue it's the book ends of journeys, Taunton ;D
Title: Re: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on December 14, 2016, 16:06:27 Famous last words, possibly, but I don't think that's Taunton. ::)

Got you again, CfN!!! :P :P :P First picture is P2 (down side) waiting room at Taunton.

Is it just my imagination, or are there a lot more Christmas Trees about this month than there were last month??

(http://www.wellho.net/pix/xm16_99.jpg) Not famous last words, as I'm 100% certain that's Melksham! (Sorry CfN ;) :D) Title: Re: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: Fourbee on December 14, 2016, 16:59:55 Aaargh! See http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/HotspotDetails.aspx?stdCode=SME_TAU&fullsize=16068 There really ought to be a 'dislike' facility on the Coffee Shop forum. ;D For some reason I do really like those doors though, there's something classic about them with the parallel handles. I noticed a plusbus poster in one of BNM's photos; yesterday I notched up 8 journeys on a railcard discounted Southampton+Bus. That's less than 20p per trip! Title: Re: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on December 14, 2016, 17:57:48 Yes, that's Melksham - but not the railway station frontage, obviously. ;) :D ;D

One more station Christmas tree picture taken today to guess: (http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/rps20161214_163416_zpsn8xmxxfp.jpg) Title: Re: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: LiskeardRich on December 14, 2016, 18:52:16 I know which plusbus map that is on the back ground. Now to take a guess at which of the stations in the zone it may be....
Paignton? Title: Re: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: JayMac on December 14, 2016, 19:40:49 Sorry, not Paignton.
Title: Re: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on December 14, 2016, 19:43:17 No, I considered, but then discounted, Paignton too: the ticket office there looks like this - http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/HotspotDetails.aspx?stdCode=SME_PGN&fullsize=14690 ::)
Title: Re: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: LiskeardRich on December 14, 2016, 20:05:02 No, I considered, but then discounted, Paignton too: the ticket office there looks like this - http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/HotspotDetails.aspx?stdCode=SME_PGN&fullsize=14690 ::) The plusbus zone covers 4 stations (I think). I'm not sure why I said Paignton, I have photos taken at Paignton recently and clearly isn't! Title: Re: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: grahame on December 14, 2016, 20:10:07 Yes, that's Melksham - but not the railway station frontage, obviously. ;) :D ;D Nope - the station frontage is as at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDoO7FEcXhk and not a Christmas tree in site!

Incidentally, that clock seems to have been moved lower down on the wall, so it's now just above that mirror window on the back wall: see http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/HotspotDetails.aspx?stdCode=SME_NTA&fullsize=14482 Title: Re: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on December 14, 2016, 21:50:27 I'm not sure why I said Paignton ... In future, I'm just going to say 'Taunton' - simply on the balance of probabilities that I'll inadvertently be right sometimes. ::) :o :-[ Title: Re: Where was bignosemac today? 14th December 2016 Post by: Tiffy on December 15, 2016, 11:07:44 ferroequinological
