Title: Try these five Post by: grahame on November 13, 2009, 16:53:07 Quite well spaced ... and some quite tricky. Not all FGW served (in fact only one shows a track carrying FGW trains) but none terrible far away from them.

Title: Re: Try these five Post by: Timmer on November 13, 2009, 17:15:15 Is the 1st one Taunton? Sorry couldn't resist...I'll get my coat and my brolly!
Seriously I know number 2 but want to give others a chance. Title: Re: Try these five Post by: grahame on November 13, 2009, 17:18:06 Neither Taunton nor Trowbridge feature here ... nor Truro, Tiverton or Thurso ...
Title: Re: Try these five Post by: JayMac on November 13, 2009, 17:27:21 5. Stapleton Road.
Title: Re: Try these five Post by: grahame on November 13, 2009, 17:49:38 5. Stapleton Road. Yep, it is ... disused bridge on what used to be the 4 track section up to Filton Bank. Title: Re: Try these five Post by: paul7575 on November 13, 2009, 19:31:52 3. Hedge End. FGW pass through on diversion Fareham to Eastleigh...
Paul Title: Re: Try these five Post by: grahame on November 13, 2009, 20:47:57 3. Hedge End. FGW pass through on diversion Fareham to Eastleigh... Paul Yes ... so 1, 2 and 4 to go Title: Re: Try these five Post by: inspector_blakey on November 13, 2009, 22:51:55 2 *might* be Brockenhurst...?
Title: Re: Try these five Post by: Timmer on November 14, 2009, 06:09:24 2 *might* be Brockenhurst...? I'm 98% sure it is. Over to Graham to confirm that we are right.Title: Re: Try these five Post by: grahame on November 14, 2009, 07:45:15 Yes, number 2 is indeed Brockenhurst. And that leaves No 1 (which I expected to go quite quickly) and No 4 (which I expect to linger and need to have clues like "trains used to run through here, but it was a l-o-n-g time ago and only for a few years" added to help you)
Title: Re: Try these five Post by: grahame on November 15, 2009, 04:04:29 Three more pictures that I took at location no. 1 on the same visit ...
(http://www.wellho.net/pix/evemyst1.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/evemyst2.jpg) (http://www.wellho.net/pix/evemyst3.jpg) Should be an easy one! Title: Re: Try these five Post by: grahame on November 16, 2009, 21:21:32 Should be an easy one! Oh come ON folks ... you've got four pictures of an FGW stations that at least some of you pass through seated in First Class every day at the moment ... and others write about in the longest running thread on the forum! Title: Re: Try these five Post by: Mookiemoo on November 16, 2009, 22:05:21 Should be an easy one! Oh come ON folks ... you've got four pictures of an FGW stations that at least some of you pass through seated in First Class every day at the moment ... and others write about in the longest running thread on the forum! Not entirely sure its related but....... can I guess at Pershore EVesham Honeyborne Morton in Marsh Kingham Shipton Ascot under wyhcwood Charlbury Finstock Coombe Hanborough Oxford Radley Culham Appleford Didcot Cholsey Goring Pangbourne Tilehurst Reading I know its not anywhere after reading And if I got them all in the right order I have definitely been doing this too long! But I do not actually think its a cotswolds line station so am ruling me out! Title: Re: Try these five Post by: Steve Bray on November 16, 2009, 23:07:15 My guess is Shipton
Title: Re: Try these five Post by: grahame on November 16, 2009, 23:56:15 My guess is Shipton Yes ... it *is* Shipton Not entirely sure its related but....... can I guess at Pershore [snipped long list] Shipton [snipped long list] Reading But I do not actually think its a cotswolds line station so am ruling me out! Yes, it *was* there in the list ... but that was a very wide spray of shot at the target :P ... we would have a serious problem if that was the Oxford or Reading information point for example! Title: Re: Try these five Post by: grahame on January 26, 2013, 15:07:10 Came back to this thread when doing a search and noticed that no-one had guessed number 4 ... any experts in amongst our newer members?

No-one has guessed a number of the shots from the picture quiz I posted a fair while a go also. Should I try to resurect it?(http://www.wellho.net/pix/andis4z.jpg) Title: Re: Try these five Post by: Chris from Nailsea on January 26, 2013, 18:19:42 No-one has guessed a number of the shots from the picture quiz I posted a fair while a go also. Should I try to resurect it? Fair comment, Rhydgaled - I've just had another look at your quiz, but I still can't suggest any locations for the unsolved ones. I've resurrected your topic, though! ;) :D ;D Title: Re: Try these five Post by: JayMac on January 26, 2013, 18:34:24 And I've no idea where the gate and lane that grahame has pictured are. I can only assume it is the site of a disused line.
Can we have a clue please grahame? Title: Re: Try these five Post by: Chris from Nailsea on January 26, 2013, 18:44:01 ... that leaves ... No 4 (which I expect to linger and need to have clues like "trains used to run through here, but it was a l-o-n-g time ago and only for a few years" added to help you) I was thinking along the lines of Long Marston / Stratford / Honeybourne somewhere, but that's perhaps a bit tenuous ... :-[ :P ::) Title: Re: Try these five Post by: grahame on January 26, 2013, 18:47:57 Can we have a clue please grahame? I should probably Ame to give you a clue that does Lark about too much. Or I could tryfar too hard to come up with something a century old and with a military background. Title: Re: Try these five Post by: JayMac on January 26, 2013, 19:07:35 Thanks!
Picture 4 is on the A345 Countess Road just north of Amesbury. Showing the former trackbed of the Military Railway to Larkhill Camp.
