And yes, it is indeed Torre. Will post "one I made earlier..." in a bit. Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: plymothian on March 14, 2010, 20:15:16 oh damn that was an easy one!

Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: TerminalJunkie on March 14, 2010, 20:47:18 On uk.railway there's a slightly different 'Street View Challenge' - find a picture with a train it.
This was what started it: http://tinyurl.com/RheilfforddLlynPadarn (http://tinyurl.com/RheilfforddLlynPadarn) If you look at Barnstaple station http://tiny.cc/barnstaplestation (http://tiny.cc/barnstaplestation), the Google Camera Car has arrived at the same time as a train, and you can take a trip round the car park, too :) Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: John R on March 14, 2010, 23:13:12 There are several views taken from Backwell Lake, including one of a Virgin Voyager. I'm not sure how to link to it though. I'm not sure it was taken by the camera car though - they seem too good.
Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: Chris from Nailsea on March 14, 2010, 23:33:07 With thanks to one of my fellow-moderators on this forum, I can offer this view of a full moon (http://snurl.com/googlemapsthemoon), taken from Nailsea. However: absolutely no train involvement whatever.
::) :o ;D Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on March 15, 2010, 09:51:46 I found myself on it 3 times I was quite impressed once at sowton services outside my sisters and near bigbury on sea (bigbury was the only time I saw the car)
Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: JayMac on March 15, 2010, 10:54:11 Here's another station on Street View to guess:

Severn Beach? Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: JayMac on March 15, 2010, 11:46:42 Here's another station on Street View to guess: Wild guess ... Severn Beach? Spot on! Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: matt473 on March 15, 2010, 11:57:30 Here's one from outside the area but thought I'd share since it looks like they caught the train just as it reached the level crossing. If you move along the road forwards forwards and backwards you can see the train gradually pass the crossing :P Simple things really do please simple minds
Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: Ollie on March 18, 2010, 01:20:31 You should all get this one :P
Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: inspector_blakey on March 18, 2010, 02:51:52 I can't see either of those two :'(
Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: Ollie on March 18, 2010, 11:47:22 Mine is loading, I can't see Matt's
Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: Btline on March 18, 2010, 12:48:56 Outside Worcester Foregate Street you can see someone getting a parking ticket because they've parked in the bus stop! ::)
Unfortunately for the car owner, I doubt the numberplate is misted up. :P Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: JayMac on March 18, 2010, 13:01:53 Teehee, nice spot Btline ;D
(http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/gsv2.jpg) Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: JayMac on March 18, 2010, 13:08:08 You should all get this one :P That'd be the very quiet, lightly used crossing in Wokingham! Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: JayMac on March 18, 2010, 13:17:52 Another Street View station to guess:
(http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/gsv3.jpg) Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: devon_metro on March 18, 2010, 14:10:16 Has to be Wokingham :P
Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: inspector_blakey on March 18, 2010, 14:10:56 Blue Anchor, WSR...?
Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: JayMac on March 18, 2010, 14:37:27 Spot on, blakey!
Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: matt473 on March 18, 2010, 16:01:03 Obviously my link didn't work :-\ Second time lucky

Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on March 18, 2010, 18:17:39 blue anchor i drive past this everyday ;D
Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: Ollie on March 19, 2010, 12:03:02 Aha yes it is Wokingham :)
Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: Brucey on April 01, 2010, 13:18:57 Another one, with a clue: only one FGW train per day passes through here in either direction.

Paul Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: Brucey on April 01, 2010, 16:52:22 Warblington - and it is two per day, and more on Sundays... Very close, but not quite. I've just checked the timetable and it is two in one direction, one in the other. Sunday is three in one direction, four in the other.Paul Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: paul7575 on April 01, 2010, 17:00:21 Bedhampton - wrong direction from Havant ::)
Edit: If you checked the FGW timetable, the early service isn't in it. But it is in the Southern and NRTTs... Another Edit: Departs Fratton 0710, Arr Brighton 0820. Paul Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: Brucey on April 01, 2010, 17:01:05 Bedhampton - wrong direction from Havant ::) CorrectPaul Title: Re: Street View Challenge Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on April 05, 2010, 20:10:36 just noticed a new function on there (be warned if your prone to headaches caused by certain visual stimulus) it now has a 3d option...rolls eyes ::)
