Title: More "Wezis"? Post by: grahame on March 11, 2009, 12:52:41 OK ... a chance to share a few more pictures by asking if you can work out where they are. And those people who know me will probably find some of them very easy indeed!

Post by: Tim on March 11, 2009, 13:45:25 3 (the overbridge) is Chippenham
4 (the sign) is Bristol Parkway?? 5 is Temple Meads Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: grahame on March 11, 2009, 13:52:09 3 (the overbridge) is Chippenham 4 (the sign) is Bristol Parkway?? 5 is Temple Meads You have correctly identified Chippenham and Bristol Temple Meads. No. 4 is not Bristol Parkway (but perhaps they have an identical sign or similar geography there!) Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: moonrakerz on March 11, 2009, 14:13:20 2 is Melksham - again !
Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: autotank on March 11, 2009, 14:31:35 No 1 - Taunton?
No 7 - Westbury? Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: thetrout on March 11, 2009, 14:35:04 No 6 = Avoncliff

No. 4 is not Bristol Parkway (but perhaps they have an identical sign or similar geography there!) might No 4 be another Parkway station - Didcot or Tiveton? Title: Re: More "Wezis"?

8 Kemble Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: grahame on March 11, 2009, 16:46:06 Yep ... let me go through those that you have
1. Taunton 2. Melksham (hey, it's my local station - I would post a lot about Gunnislake if I lived there!) 3. Chippenham 4. Not yet identified, and not a station with "Parkway" in its name either 5. Temple Meads 6. Avoncliff (and not Dundas!) 7. Westbury 8. Kemble Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: Tim on March 11, 2009, 17:02:49 A wild guess but is 4 St Austell?
Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: grahame on March 11, 2009, 17:11:53 A wild guess but is 4 St Austell? Nope .... sorry. Have I chosen to post up a picture of a generic sign, perhaps? Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: devon_metro on March 11, 2009, 18:28:16 Could the un-identified be Taunton, as I understand Graham, you were there recently, and of course, the station has recently been "done up" so to speak.

Yes indeed ... Taunton it is! Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: devon_metro on March 11, 2009, 18:36:40 Always worth a "punt" :D
Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: grahame on March 11, 2009, 18:57:39 Always worth a "punt" :D Indeed ... you never know what you'll find when you go punting!

Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: grahame on March 12, 2009, 14:09:26 Is that a First group canal boat in the background? Probably ... even the National Express coaches here abouts are run by the First Group :o Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: thetrout on March 12, 2009, 19:18:37 I can't believe I didn't get the Taunton Sign. I walk past that sign twice a day 5 days a week ::)

Might be worth a punt, but what is a Punt worth these days? Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: rogerw on March 12, 2009, 21:15:49 Nothing. It's obsolete
Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: G.Uard on March 12, 2009, 22:10:09 Nothing. It's obsolete Obsolete it may be, but worthless not... https://www.crowncurrencyexchange.com/content/out-of-circulation-currency.asp?gclid=CNLt8tyznpkCFYKB3godJCF1Uw Title: Re: More "Wezis"? Post by: inspector_blakey on March 12, 2009, 23:15:48 Always worth a "punt" :D Indeed ... you never know what you'll find when you go punting! I fell in and nearly found hypothermia and Weils disease. Note to self: let go of pole when it gets stuck, let go of pole when it gets stuck, let go of pole when it gets stuck...

I walk past that sign twice a day 5 days a week ::) I sympathise entirely, thetrout: even when I'm standing next to grahame, while he takes some of those pictures, it doesn't necessarily help - see http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=3663.msg28403#msg28403 Chris :-[ ::) ;D This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
