5 easy Baker Street Circle / Hot & Cold platforms

5. Baker Street, London Underground (Circle, H&C platforms.)


Edit: Damn, too slow. But then electric trains are generally quicker off the mark!

3. Port Talbot Parkway

No. 3 is indeed Baker Street but - sorry ReWind - No. 5 is not at Port Talbot

Err... 3 and 5 the wrong way round there, grahame!

3. Trowbridge

1. Liverpool St

Yes indeed - sorry about that.

5 is Baker Street,  3 isn't Port Talbot (it's now identified as Trowbridge)

... and 1 is Liverpool Street.

6 Replacement bus service?

4 Looks vaguely familiar to me, for some reason ... ?

Well - sort of ... but not the traditional "due to engineering works" type.


Chris, you are getting so well travelled so I expect it is ;) . In fact you've probably seen it in the last few days. The challenge for you in number 2, which is probably closer to Nailsea than number 4.

Hmm.  ::)

You and I both know darned well where 4 is, grahame: I was 'standing next to you when you took that picture'.  ;D

However, 2 is indeed a challenge.  :-[

Number 6 - Ealing-Wandsworth AXC parliamentary bus?

Welcome to the forum, Devon Big Bird.    That's a brilliant idea ... I'll have to try that bus ... but I'm afraid it's not right; my understanding is that the Ealing to Wandsworth rarely has any passengers, whereas there were almost 2 dozen others with me on that journey. 

I'd like to guess number 4.. but Chris From Nailsea might find it all too stressful.. I'll just think it in my head instead  ::) ;D

I am completely 'stress-free' about 4, Jo: it isn't Taunton - not by a long way!  ;D

phew.. as long as you're sure..  ::)

Oh, yes: in terms of distance, Jo, grahame's picture 4 is a live pylon mile from Taunton ...  ;)

(Hand bolt upright and bouncing in my seat)

Sir, sir, me sir. I know it sir!!!

 ;D

Please tell.. It is all just TOO exciting  ;D

I'm not allowed, I've already had one go!

Now "open season" ... 24 hours are up ... feel free to post answers and guesses for 2, 4 and 6.

Although I called this a "classic" quiz, it struck me as unusual when I looked back that not one of the pictures features a First train ...

4: Yeovil Pen Mill

(@BNM: ner-ner-ner-ne-ner-ner ;D)

No 6 looks suspiciously like a Faresaver minibus to me...

I may be classed as cheating here, but I remember you mentioning to me that Faresaver took over part of a key bus route near Melksham...

Perhaps you went to see a family member near Calne...?? ;)

TT

Yes, number 4 is indeed at Yeovil Pen Mill

And number 6 is indeed on a Faresaver bus ... actually the Chippenham to Melksham route; having arrived at Chippenham at about 13:10 (12:00 from Paddington), I wasn't about to hang around until 19:01 for the next TransWilts service, so I walked through Chippenham (the bus doesn't call at the station, of course!), waited for the 13:52 bus, and got back to Melksham at 14:20, noting wryly:
a) There were 20 people on the bus, all but three of whom were through Chippenham to Melksham passengers and
b) It had taken me as long to cover the finaly 6 miles to Melksham as I had taken to to the 94 miles from London

No. 2, Anyone? Surely someone knows where "Railway Center" is  ;)

I've been out all day and come back to what I hope will be my one bit of pleasure on the forum in answering Number 4 - only to have it cruelly taken away from me. You are a cad and a bounder TJ!!!!

Note to johoare:  It was an anagram in CfN's post:

Oh dear to me being very stupid.. several times over  ::) ::) ;D

I think I should take stock. Radical hinting may be needed for number 2!

Why do I continue to get the feeling i've seen something very similar to No 2. in Totnes...??!

Perhaps because you're getting a bit confused  :-\  or perhaps because there is something similar there.   But it's not Totnes.

Completely random guess, only because I know there is/was a railway centre there - Southall?

No ... sorry.   I have hinted ...  ;)

Didcot?  I know there is a railway centre at Didcot, but no idea if this is the same one  ???

Erm ... Radstock?

CfN.  :P ::) ;)

Yep ;-) ... that's the one.

Hmm.  I'm just sorry it took me so long to get your cryptic clue:


CfN.  ::) :-[

Darn it... Should have got that one...!! I used to work a stones throw away from that building! Knew i'd seen it somewhere! :P
