Title: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: grahame on May 25, 2009, 19:29:52 It was suggest to me the other day that we have some members here who could recognise every plant and every blade of grass on FGW territory ... but I'm not sure I agree. Can anyone recognise these recently taken pictures?

Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on May 25, 2009, 22:22:32 1 westbury
2 swindon 3 Melksham Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: Chris from Nailsea on May 25, 2009, 22:31:36 Hmm.
The two I'm now sure of are 1 Bath (thanks, Timmer! I should have got that one!) and 3 Melksham. 2 could be Swindon or Reading - HST in the background, straight platforms? Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: devon_metro on May 25, 2009, 22:47:43 I think he might be right about Swindon taken from platform 4 judging by the newish slabs.
Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on May 25, 2009, 23:07:22 only been there once... well the station anyway it was a very long wait :-(
slightly off subject why the hell is my profile picture so huge? Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: Chris from Nailsea on May 25, 2009, 23:20:25 You've used an image 500 x 375 - you need to reduce it, mate! :D
Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on May 25, 2009, 23:40:50 now its too small.....
:-[ anyway we want answers!! lol Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: Chris from Nailsea on May 25, 2009, 23:53:29 Try something around 150 x 113 (like devon_metro's, just for example). 8)
Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: grahame on May 26, 2009, 04:12:57 No. 1 is indeed Bath, and those of you who said "Swindon" for 2 are correct. No-one has yet identified 3 correctly :-\
Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: devon_metro on May 26, 2009, 09:02:40 Yatton?
Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on May 26, 2009, 12:31:22 trowbridge?
Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: thetrout on May 26, 2009, 14:06:41 Having been to Trowbridge a few days ago... I'd say Relex109 has smacked the nail on the head ;D
Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on May 26, 2009, 14:30:21 what scares me is that stations i go to all the time... i have no chance but random stations which i have been to once or twice but not for years, i get
whats wrong with me? Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: Chris from Nailsea on May 26, 2009, 15:08:21 Just to cover myself, bearing in mind my appalling track record at this sort of thing, I'm now going to suggest that 3 is Taunton. :-[ ::) ;D
Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on May 26, 2009, 15:53:43 you know what thinking about it.... yatton doesnt have the none slip paving slabs near the edge of the platform.... and taunton is tarmac'd
is trowbridge tarmac or slabs i think devon metro may be correct Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: grahame on May 26, 2009, 19:02:19 trowbridge? Yes ... it *is* Trowbridge. Congratulations (of the open-mouthed and amazed variety) as I never expected these to be gotten quite so quickly if at all. Title: Re: For those of you who recognise every blade of FGW grass ... Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on May 27, 2009, 02:01:52 wait I got two out of three (eventually) scary!
