Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: JayMac on April 25, 2010, 19:33:55 Erm....no. I'm sticking to my rule of not posting pics of the jewel of Zummerzet!
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: inspector_blakey on April 25, 2010, 19:35:42 5 looks like the old Red Star Parcels office at Oxford (now used as a base for the Rail Gourmet trolley services I think)

Post by: JayMac on April 25, 2010, 19:38:09 5 looks like the old Red Star Parcels office at Oxford (now used as a base for the Rail Gourmet trolley services I think) Correct. Not clear in the re-sized image, but you can still see the feint impression of the 'Lynx Express' logo and the words 'Parcels Point' on the canopy. Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: Timmer on April 25, 2010, 19:49:41 7 Looks like Stafford?
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: inspector_blakey on April 25, 2010, 20:00:21 My initial reaction was that 3 is Temple Meads, but on second thoughts I'm less sure.
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: JayMac on April 25, 2010, 20:05:31 Wrong (Timmer) and wrong (blakey).
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: amiddl on April 25, 2010, 20:32:26 6. I think are the camping coaches at Dawlish Warren
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: devon_metro on April 25, 2010, 20:49:35 4 is Liskeard. I also thought 7 was Stafford however i'm thinking its a certain station north of Brum.
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: Timmer on April 25, 2010, 21:36:48 7 Lets try Wolverhampton
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: JayMac on April 25, 2010, 21:53:13 6. I think are the camping coaches at Dawlish Warren Correct. 4 is Liskeard. Correct 7 Lets try Wolverhampton Correct. Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: ReWind on April 25, 2010, 22:13:20 7 Lets try Wolverhampton Just some randoms images off me hard drive. All taken in GWR territory. ??? Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: Chris from Nailsea on April 25, 2010, 22:30:02 Fair enough: see http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6d/GWR_map.jpg ;)
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: JayMac on April 25, 2010, 23:14:47 I just knew someone would flag up the 'GWR territory' thing! Should've included the word 'former' but I was feeling devilish. :P ;D
....and Chris, I used exactly the same map to double check on Wolverhampton! Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: Chris from Nailsea on April 25, 2010, 23:31:39 ;D
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: Chris from Nailsea on April 26, 2010, 00:35:29 My initial reaction was that 3 is Temple Meads, but on second thoughts I'm less sure. That was my exact-same initial reaction, James! It's very similar architecture - mock-gothic-Victorian. No idea where it actually is, though! ::) Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: JayMac on April 26, 2010, 01:25:44 Again, another bit of slight devilry..... superficially it is very similar to Temple Meads and I suspected I may get Bristol TM as an answer...... ;D
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: signalandtelegraph on April 26, 2010, 07:37:49 2 is Temple Meads
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: bobg on April 26, 2010, 09:27:07 Is 8 Hereford?
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: IndustryInsider on April 26, 2010, 09:56:52 Fair enough: see http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6d/GWR_map.jpg ;) Imagine how many staff and trains would be needed to run the FGW frachise over all those old lines! Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: ReWind on April 26, 2010, 10:30:00 A class 143 on a FGW Liverpool - Penzance service would be a highlight!! ;D
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: JayMac on April 26, 2010, 10:56:48 2 is Temple Meads Correct. Class 150 in the bay next to Platform 2. Is 8 Hereford? Correct. So....... just 1 and 3 left to guess. Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: jdw.wor on April 26, 2010, 11:05:34 Hi everyone. Held out for a very long time before making a contribution but pretty sure 3 is Shrewsbury
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: JayMac on April 26, 2010, 11:07:26 Hi everyone. Held out for a very long time before making a contribution but pretty sure 3 is Shrewsbury Correct, and welcome to the forum jdw. Most folks normally start with a question as their first post. You started with an answer!! Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: inspector_blakey on April 26, 2010, 15:47:53 1 is obviously somewhere in the old Network South East area given the clock... Time for a completely random guess - Slough.
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: JayMac on April 26, 2010, 16:02:56 Afraid not.
I saw "The strangest old woman that ever you saw."...... Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: basset44 on April 26, 2010, 16:13:32 Hi
Is it Banbury? Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: 6 OF 2 redundant adjunct of unimatrix 01 on April 26, 2010, 20:07:29 is 1 southampton? if not am i close? :)
Title: Re: Themeless Picture Quiz. Post by: JayMac on April 26, 2010, 21:50:43 Hi Is it Banbury? Correct. And the 'strangest old woman that you ever saw' from the "I rode a cock horse to Banbury Cross" nursery rhyme may be alive and well. She appears in a 'Stations Made Easy' picture for Banbury Station (http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/sjp/BAN/objectvalues/1137-0000019.html) on the National Rail Enquiries website: (http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/sjp/BAN/images/photos/800/o1137-0000029.jpg) ;D ;D ;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.
