Title: Through the window - my crap photos in the advent quiz, 19th December 2020 Post by: grahame on December 19, 2020, 00:16:21 Pictures taken out of the window, resulting in most of them being candidates for the Facebook "Your Crap Photos" group, but still recognisable as record and memory shots. Can you help me be reminding me where I should be remembering with each of them?
One each, please, for the first 24 hours although I know that several are so obvious as to be painful. All are pictures I have taken (I would not embarrass anyone else) within the last few months, so not all that far from home 0. (http://www.wellho.net/pix/crapquiz00.jpg) 1.

Southampton Airport Parkway Paul No. 9: Fareham. Those three are correct ... but (sorry) No. 6 is not Stonehouse. I do have pictures of the bridge there, but not from this year.

Title: Re: Through the window - my crap photos in the advent quiz, 19th December 2020 Post by: CyclingSid on December 19, 2020, 13:55:50 Is 14 the stretch of line between Southcote Junction and Reading West? If so I can't tell whether it is the Bath Road or Tlehurst Road bridge.
Removed. More than one attempt Title: Re: Through the window - my crap photos in the advent quiz, 19th December 2020 Post by: grahame on December 19, 2020, 14:13:18 Is 14 the stretch of line between Southcote Junction and Reading West? If so I can't tell whether it is the Bath Road or Tlehurst Road bridge. Yes, it is ... and (taking a look at the metadata on the original), Tilehurst Road.

Title: Re: Through the window - my crap photos in the advent quiz, 19th December 2020 Post by: grahame on December 19, 2020, 21:44:03 4. Bramley (Hampshire) 7 is Trowbridge Both correct - just two pictures to go. Title: Re: Through the window - my crap photos in the advent quiz, 19th December 2020 Post by: Reginald25 on December 20, 2020, 08:03:57 0 looks like Trowbridge, if that station has two entries in the quiz?
Title: Re: Through the window - my crap photos in the advent quiz, 19th December 2020 Post by: CyclingSid on December 20, 2020, 08:45:21 Based on a previous discussion. Is 6 between Oxford and Worcester, similar set of stairs lying unused in Reading Triangle?
Title: Re: Through the window - my crap photos in the advent quiz, 19th December 2020 Post by: grahame on December 20, 2020, 09:44:57 0 looks like Trowbridge, if that station has two entries in the quiz? Yes, it is. Two entries in the quiz? Yes - hence my comment that three places were needed still when four picture remained. Probably far too mischievous and subtle. Which leaves just No. 6 - not on the Oxford - Worcester line; it's a station that GWR passes through but does nor call at. Title: Re: Through the window - my crap photos in the advent quiz, 19th December 2020 Post by: paul7575 on December 20, 2020, 11:18:24 6 is Woolston. A station with a green colour scheme for some unknown reason, applied during SWT?s time.
(Wonder how many were caught out by the colour?) Paul Title: Re: Through the window - my crap photos in the advent quiz, 19th December 2020 Post by: grahame on December 20, 2020, 11:40:33 6 is Woolston.

As I put the quiz together, I had a funny feeling that this would be the last one to be identified!
