Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: devon_metro on September 16, 2009, 19:11:13 I know a few of them, but I won't be a spoilsport, i'm thinking 5 is Avoncliff.

Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: grahame on September 16, 2009, 19:35:00 Yes - Avoncliff, Bath Spa and the bonus was (of course!) Melksham. Thanks for doing just one each ... I suspect Chris knows at least one more too (and can p.m. me if he wants to confirm!)
its been a while for me i feel like ive been very quiet! ok here we go.... is 2 westbury? Good so see you becoming unquiet ... but I'm afraid No. 2 is not Westbury Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: devon_metro on September 16, 2009, 19:53:24 Chris should be able to guess 4, if its where I think it is :D
Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: Btline on September 16, 2009, 19:54:50 Is 6. Yate?
Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: rogerw on September 16, 2009, 20:16:45 6. is Trowbridge
Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: grahame on September 16, 2009, 20:34:48 6 is indeed Trowbridge (not Yate - Sorry)
2, 3 and 4 to go. Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: Chris from Nailsea on September 16, 2009, 20:42:23 Well, I'm going to hazard a guess that 4 might be Taunton. (I recognised the kitbag on the right!) ;) ::) ;D
Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: Timmer on September 16, 2009, 21:06:11 2 Swindon. 3 Somewhere in Ireland
Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: Chris from Nailsea on September 16, 2009, 21:41:30 Well, I'll agree with 2 being Swindon - but describing 3 as 'Somewhere in Ireland' ?? That's a fairly wide guess, Timmer !! :o ::) ;D
Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: Timmer on September 16, 2009, 21:47:31 Well, I'll agree with 2 being Swindon - but describing 3 as 'Somewhere in Ireland' ?? That's a fairly wide guess, Timmer !! :o ::) ;D It is indeed Chris but thats about as good as you are going to get from me on this one sadly. Taken from Graham's recent trip over there but I dont remember where.Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: Chris from Nailsea on September 16, 2009, 21:58:47 Yes ... he was in Northern Ireland, wasn't he ... ? ;) :D ;D
Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: Btline on September 16, 2009, 22:26:52 From the images here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIR_450_Class it looks like it could be from NI.
Is it somewhere on the Belfast to Larne line? Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: grahame on September 17, 2009, 05:27:47 From the images here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIR_450_Class it looks like it could be from NI. Is it somewhere on the Belfast to Larne line? Yes, 2 is Swindon, 3 is 'somewhere on the Belfast to Larne line', and 4 is indeed Taunton. I'll leave it for a few hours before I tell you just where on Belfast to Larne ... it's the really awkward question and I am not anticipating that the next follow up post will say "it's xxxxxxxx" where xxxxxxxx is correctly identifying a single station! Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: Btline on September 17, 2009, 21:37:50 Yorksgate?
Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: grahame on September 17, 2009, 21:52:28 Yorksgate? No, sorry. I've tried to be helpful by having a look at what's online about the line; the wikipedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belfast-Larne_railway_line does list the station and includes a link to it, but I couldn't spot any specific clues. Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: Btline on September 17, 2009, 22:13:01 I assumed by XXXXXXXX, that the station would have 8 letters, of which only Yorkgate fitted.
Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: Chris from Nailsea on September 17, 2009, 22:43:35 Is it Botanic, by any chance?
Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: grahame on September 18, 2009, 04:35:00 I assumed by XXXXXXXX, that the station would have 8 letters, of which only Yorkgate fitted. Sorry - nothing so subtle from me ... it was only roughly the right number of letters. Is it Botanic, by any chance? And not, perchance, Botanic The passengers are getting home at the end of the day, and many need to cross the line - but how can they do so with neither bridge nor subway? Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: jakemonkfish on September 18, 2009, 08:48:44 Its Larne Harbour at the end of the line and the passengers can walk around?
Title: Re: Six more to place ... more passengers than trains! Post by: grahame on September 18, 2009, 10:47:59 Its Larne Harbour at the end of the line and the passengers can walk around? I'll level with you - I thought someone might try that very bright guess, but I'm afraid it's wrong This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
