Great Western Coffee Shop

Went for a bit of a small tour around the network, who can spot where I have been (sometimes pic is taken from a train and I've not physically got off at the stop)

So I started my trip at Picture 1.  (Reading - Correctly guessed by FallenAngel)
After getting a train, and a bit of a walk got to Picture 2. (Bristol Harbour Railway - Correctly guessed by chriselkins)
Walked to a train station and got another train to Picture 3. (Nailsea & Backwell - Correctly guessed by TheLastMinute)
After taking Picture 3 got on a train which went through Picture 4. (Stapleton Road - Correctly guessed by Tim)

Continued in next post...

so to continue...

My train terminated at Picture 5. (Bristol Parkway - Correctly guessed by Tim - but bonus points to TheLastMinute for getting more specific)
I got another train from Picture 5, and changed trains again to get onto the train that took me through Picture 6. (Melksham - Correctly guessed by Louis94)
My train terminated at Picture 7. (Southampton Central - Correctly guessed by FallenAngel)
And then waiting at Picture 7 it all went a bit wrong (Picture 8!) (Southampton Central - Correctly guessed by FallenAngel)
and then my phone ran out of battery :(

Um... what pictures?

Well for me they all load..

Yes, they all load for me, too??  :)

Nope, nothing here. Can't even see images embedded in the text when I hit 'Quote'.

Glad they work and not just me going mental :P Images not embedded, done using the forum uploader.

Just to add some random facts, today:

I have travelled: 267miles 39chains, for: 5hrs 15mins, at an average speed of: 51mph

... another random fact: so far as I can tell, none of them are Taunton ...  ::) ;D

That would be correct :P

Something to do with the uploader, I guess.

I've tried three different browsers and 2 OS, with no joy.

Can't explain it then, seeing as Chris can see them suggests they have uploaded correctly.

My guess is that (1) is reading

its not bracknell

but thinking about it I can't think of a brown building anywhere near reading

but knowing where you are its somewhere close

Yup one is Reading :)

So whats the brown building ! LOL - see my modification

Apex Plaza

Is 7 Southampton?

It is, but you need to guess the full name :P

So it is - I see it several times a week but its amazing how you don't recognise a snap shot out of context

I jumped for reading just knowing where you are based and where SWT went through - hence expanding to bracknell/winnersh etc

I was going off the departures - I have never been to southampton by train so cut me some slack here!

Since I don't know how many are going to be up at this hour - let me go research

Aha okay sorry :)
For the record 7 and 8 are same station.

Without doing anything other than looking at the names - I'll go for central

Central it is :)

Just couldnt imagine an airport parkway going to poole

Not that it matters but they do go from Airport Parkway to Poole =]

2 - Bristol Harbour Railway between the former Industrial Museum and SS Great Britain

Spot on Chris :)

Result of wandering past it many times in the last couple of months since I've moved into the city centre.  :)

It's a nice walk. Although today was first time I have done it. (I'm not a Bristol resident) :)

I keep trying to remind myself I am bristol based!!!

I can't see the pictures on this one either  :(
I assume there is more than one way to upload pictures as when some people put pictures on I can see them, and then sometimes, like this time, I can't.. I wonder who many other people it affects?

I can see the pictures using Firefox, Chrome and Opera, although IE8 won't show them if I'm not logged in, and only links to them when I am logged in.

I think it's something on the server that's stopping it, as the images aren't being included in the page source.

4 is Stapleton Road (mural by Bill Guilding)
5 is Bristol Parkway

Fixed.  Sorry.

3 - Nailsea & Backwell down platform
4 - Stapleton Road
5 - Bristol Parkway taken from Plat 4 looking towards Patchway

Yep, just Picture 6 now then.

Something looks vaguely familiar on that one to me. That looks like an old GW shed that's been sheeted in the background, and perhaps is a building where they make replica nameplates and other iron castings.

Well Graham 6 is one you should definitely get!

The shed in picture 6 is painted the same sort of green as some of the buildings around Chippenham station. 

Not Chippenham.

Maybe it's somewhere on the TransWilts line?
Even somewhere near Chippenham?
Let's look at that picture again:
Know what?
Someone must recognise it!
Have we anyone here who'd like to guess?
Any ideas?
Maybe people are just too shy to suggest the correct answer?

I still can't see the pictures, but is #6 Taunton?

EDIT: I can see them now, (thanks, grahame!) so scrub that guess.

Oh - I know where it is.  I was there at around 09:00 this morning ... and the announcement box said "There are no trains due for the next 99 minutes".   Next 99 minutes?  Heck - next 600 minutes  :-\

Is number 6 Pilning Or Melksham? Going by the way you say No train for next 99 minutes!

It is indeed one of those 2.

Im going to guess Melksham!

I'll concur. grahame said next 600 minutes so unlikely to be Pilning. Miss your train there and the next one will be along in 10080 minutes!!

Yup =]

Too clever for me. Often have enough trouble reading left to right!  ;) :D
