Title: Re: Advent Quiz- day 16 - "Where is this" Post by: Clan Line on December 16, 2021, 10:07:29 If I could be so bold as to add to my previous post. I have never seen a station with so many "stop" boards as St Erth. When I saw Photo No 9 I just had to dig out one I took some years ago. 12 coach trains ? - must be left over from days of steam.

And there are no adverts or signs so again it doesn't look like the London underground.
I'm going to guess that it might be a pedestrian tunnel under a river somewhere, and not necessarily even in Britain.

I'm going to guess that it might be a pedestrian tunnel under a river somewhere, and not necessarily even in Britain. Well thought out ... but maybe it is a metro station after all: Baixa-Chiado in Lisbon. (We do know where Graham's been recently, after all.)

An unknown but low quality garden centre? ???

Huh The flooring and seating inside and the asphalt outside do look like a railway station somewhere in Britain. As for the source of the plant container and plants, I defer to my learned colleague.Title: Re: Advent Quiz- day 16 - "Where is this" Post by: CyclingSid on December 19, 2021, 07:32:54 It's odd how we get used to seeing something from a particular viewpoint. There was something about 6 that nagged at me. I have used Havant station for over 60 years, off and on, but don't ever remember having seen it from that direction. The two shelters outside the station I just try and mentally delete, so out of place next to a classic Southern design.
