Title: Re: Where is this? Post by: Graz on April 13, 2008, 10:54:18 1 is Warmley station on the Bristol to Bath Railway Path! I can't remember the name of the artwork but there's a nice tea shop there on the platform now :)
I walked that entire route from Bristol to Bath recently! Title: Re: Where is this? Post by: Sion Bretton on April 13, 2008, 11:29:00 Gaz
How long did it take you to walk this route I have only walked Saltford to Bath Title: Re: Where is this? Post by: Graz on April 13, 2008, 11:54:29 Around 5 hours, but I didn't hurry! It's well worth it as there are wonderful views of Bristol and its suburbs, and the Avon countryside.
I started from Temple Meads, the path is well signed from the station. Title: Re: Where is this? Post by: grahame on April 13, 2008, 21:42:48 1 and 4 correctly identified. Any thoughts on numbers 2 and 3, both of which are "in terrritory" but not maintained by Network Rail, nor operated by First ...
Title: Re: Where is this? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on April 13, 2008, 22:06:55 Sorry, grahame, but I'm struggling here!
2. Bristol Docks line, at Hotwells? 3. Leigh Woods miniature railway? Sorry if I'm wrong - I just remember kicking myself for not claiming 'East Somerset at Cranmore' in another of your brain teasers, when I was 'fairly sure' that was the answer! ;) :D ;D Title: Re: Where is this? Post by: grahame on April 13, 2008, 22:34:06 Right on both counts. The Bristol Docks station is called "Butterfly Juntion Halt" according to the nearby notice board ... and the minuature railway - I'll take your word that it's called "Leigh Woods" is in the grounds of Ashton Court just over the road from the real Leigh Woods (I had to google that!)
I try not to make these too easy. Mind, I have a feeling that if I were to put up a picture of a mainstream railway in Timbuktu, Lee would get it ;) Title: Re: Where is this? Post by: Chris from Nailsea on April 13, 2008, 22:49:02 Blimey! Thanks, grahame - that's my credibility as being 'not a spotter' (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=2443.msg18367#msg18367) completely shot away!
I do agree, though, Lee's knowledge is very impressive!
