Title: Where was Red Squirrel 17/05/2020 Post by: Red Squirrel on May 18, 2020, 11:38:47 Now that we're allowed out to exercise a little more, I've been out and about again (in a strictly Covid-19 compliant manner, of course!)
Where was I? (https://zemblanity.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/wwrs_2020-05-17.jpg) Title: Re: Where was Red Squirrel 17/05/2020 Post by: martyjon on May 18, 2020, 12:41:40 Somewhere on the Portishead mothball.
Title: Re: Where was Red Squirrel 17/05/2020 Post by: Red Squirrel on May 18, 2020, 13:49:27 Somewhere on the Portishead mothball. The rails are a bit rusty, but it's not (as far as I can tell) mothballed...

Just the way the picture turned out. Nice modern well-engineered bit o' track. Tytherington quarry line? Nope.

Title: Re: Where was Red Squirrel 17/05/2020 Post by: AMLAG on May 18, 2020, 22:30:09 Hopefully not on a passenger line; on account of the generally neglected and overgrown lineside, cesses and even the four foot with bushes growing. However it does look as if a weak weedkiller mixture has been recently applied which might kill some of the grasses etc. So I will guess it's between Burngullow and Parkandillack on a line that has never had a regular passenger service.

I had a look at that but I think it's all double track? I also took a look into the access siding to the power station near Severn Beach but couldn't see anywhere that fitted there.

The cigar is yours, sir!I think you'll find that the kind of cigar you've been offered is just as good to drink as any G+T that replaces it.
