Title: Summer outings - to where? Post by: grahame on October 29, 2023, 09:52:45 With the clocks going back an hour we are truly in Autumn. I haven't been far afield this summer - can you place where I have been? Oe each for the first 24 hours and I'm pretty sure there won't be much to mop up at the end.

I thought I was going to have to walk round and miss my train!

2 Salisbury - Fourbee 4 New Milton - Surrey 455 6 Avonmouth Dock Crossing - stuving 7 Worcester Foregate Street - Worcseter_Passenger 8 Baker Steet - Ralph Ayres 10 Dilton Marsh - Timmer Good calls. I noted the irony of a Baker at Baker Street an unusual case of much of the station name appearing on the picture but not in need of obscuring. The Avonmouth picture was, in fact, taken while I was hanging around waiting for Portraiy Park and Ride to open! Title: Re: Summer outings - to where? Post by: bobm on October 29, 2023, 17:05:39 9 is

(http://www.wellho.net/pix/wwits1.jpg) Late I know, but this looks like one of the 1966 vintage bracket signals that were once between Minehead and Dunster, either the Up Distants or the Up Home Signals, which, after the 1971 closure, got pinched and moved to Crediton, where the performed the same function on the two single lines; from Eggesford and from Meldon Quarry. I think I caught sight of them as I passed by in a train from Okehampton in Summer 2022 Title: Re: Summer outings - to where?
