Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: chuffed on January 26, 2018, 19:51:13 8. Taunton ...don't tell CfN !
Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: JayMac on January 26, 2018, 20:12:45 9. Bristol Temple Meads, looking toward the derelict Cattle Market Tavern (middle left) and the bridge to nowhere.
Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: ellendune on January 26, 2018, 20:30:32 8. Taunton ...don't tell CfN ! Looks vaguely familiar - have they had a big station improvement programme recently? I'll go for 2. Being the Platform 1 at Reading Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: Timmer on January 26, 2018, 20:47:14 4. Oldfield Park
Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: grahame on January 26, 2018, 20:50:44 9. Bristol Temple Meads, looking toward the derelict Cattle Market Tavern (middle left) and the bridge to nowhere. 5. Swindon? (The bay platform?) I'll go for 2. Being the Platform 1 at Reading 4. Oldfield Park All above correct 8. Taunton ...don't tell CfN ! I can see some similarities, but, no, I'm afraid it isn't Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: rogerw on January 26, 2018, 21:07:10 I know 6 but will leave it for others as I was there
Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: bobm on January 26, 2018, 21:14:38 I know 6 but will leave it for others as I was there Worse than that - I am in the photo! Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: martyjon on January 26, 2018, 21:29:44 Is 7 Exeter ?
Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: bobm on January 26, 2018, 21:32:45 8 - London Paddington
Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: Oberon on January 26, 2018, 21:45:22 Is 6 Melksham?
Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on January 27, 2018, 00:18:19 6. can only be Melksham, simply because of the plethora of dodgy characters - all appearing in the same picture! :o ::) ;D
Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: grahame on January 27, 2018, 01:29:43 Is 7 Exeter ? Is 6 Melksham? 8 - London Paddington All three correct - just pictures (1) and (3) left to identify (http://www.wellho.net/pix/sob2018_01.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/sob2018_03.jpg) Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: eightf48544 on January 27, 2018, 10:55:27 Very wild guess for 3 Oxford down platform
Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: grahame on January 27, 2018, 11:15:31 Very wild guess for 3 Oxford down platform Thank you for that guess, but I'm afraid not. I suspect this is going to be very much the hardest picture of the quiz, and I encourage other wild guesses ... I'll start giving hints as to whether you're getting warmer or colder as the guesses come in. Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: Red Squirrel on January 27, 2018, 14:46:09 I can smell the fresh paint in (1)...
Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: froome on January 27, 2018, 15:24:03 I can smell the fresh paint in (1)... Yes, looks very spruced up. I have no idea where it is, but could give a very long list of stations that it isn't! ;D Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: grahame on January 28, 2018, 08:10:45 I can smell the fresh paint in (1)... Yes, looks very spruced up. I have no idea where it is, but could give a very long list of stations that it isn't! ;D Logic is perhaps, then, to think about those stations from which you're heading headlines about improvements? This is the picture we're talking about: 1. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/sob2018_01.jpg) This one also not yet guessed - and by far the most obscure in the quiz. The place name will be familiar to many of you - even if you have not been to this station! 3.

Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: grahame on January 28, 2018, 09:12:46 1. Paddington had a booking office refit not long ago. That's the correct sort of logic ... though it's lead you to the wrong destination, I'm afraid! Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: tomL on January 28, 2018, 11:34:21 1. Paddington had a booking office refit not long ago. That's the correct sort of logic ... though it's lead you to the wrong destination, I'm afraid! Going on the rough logic that it's in the process of or has been recently done up, and is between the other pictures... Chippenham? ??? Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: grahame on January 28, 2018, 12:28:40 1. Paddington had a booking office refit not long ago.

Yes, that is Chippenham - photographed at 21:30 on Thursday evening Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: bobm on January 28, 2018, 17:19:00 I note the two TVMs in the picture; coupled with the ones outside they have more at Chippenham than Swindon!
Title: Re: Where was I? - January 2018 Post by: grahame on January 28, 2018, 17:46:46 I note the two TVMs in the picture; coupled with the ones outside they have more at Chippenham than Swindon! I am suspecting those are the outside ones brought inside - though there is still the one on the North side. I'm not sure if you can but tickets near the footbridge gates, nor what the arrangement will be when the ticket hall is locked late at night.
