O No sorry., further North. As a clue, it's less well known than a famous line nearby, and is separated from NR» metals by a few yards of missing track.

O Yes, well done. It's Bolton Abbey station on the Embasy and Bolton Abbey Steam railway (not the Wensleydale which is near Northallerton).
When we visited, we were shown in the boxes at Embasy and Bolton Abbey by very friendly but knowledgable volunteers.
Les well known than the Worth Valley Railway it's still a good one.
Hopefully B will be identified soon. Its further North than Embasy at a very famous heritage site with several railways not interconnected and starts with B! The railways have all been built from scratch there, they aren't authentic routes. Other guided transport as well. I've practically identified it now.
Something in that should give a clue to F as well.

See the last posting. The Wharfedale line goes to Ilkley. In the pre closure days, this ran on to Skipton. The Embasy line is part of the bit between Ilkley and Skipton that got closed. I think you can keep your passport. |

B is presumably Beamish in county Durham. |

B Yes at last. Beamish, perhaps not the most obvious view!
That leaves still to do F G and R
F is in the Midlands, and starts with F
G is north of the M4, and a loose linkage with GWSR
R is north of the M4 and in Wales. Its adjacent to a line which is now a cycleway.

G is the former Winchcombe railway museum. Now closed you can see a few signals over the back wall lost in the trees.

G Yes A great little hands-on museum. It was quite a walk from Winchcombe station but worth it. Surprisingly it had no connection with the GWSR that I'm aware of.
F Yes Foxfield, the clue was in the carriages, which they are proud of. The photo was taken on a gala day in 2019. A small heritage line which I was anxious to tick off the list! The line extends beyond the limit of passenger operation to a mine, that's one for a future outing.
Well done.
Just R to go now.
There is a cycleway running from Cymmer Afan (which has a disused viaduct) down the valley, enough said for now.

That clue points me towards the South Wales Miners Museum and the picture looks like it might fit; no evidence against. But all circumstantial - I am not seeing any pictures online showing the scene (and I have done some searches!) |

R yes It is the South Wales Mining Museum. There is some railway exhibits outside.
The museum is adjacent to the Afan Valley Railway path that runs from Cymmer. Going further east you get to the Rhondda Tunnel site (now filled in) qhich it is hoped will be reopened in th next few years as cycle way.
That completes all the photos in the 16th December quiz. Maybe some more next year.
