Another Picture Quiz from thetrout

« on: January 24, 2012, 04:02:42 »

I haven't done one of these for a while, so usual game, guess where the pictures are. Some in FGW^▸ Land, others not too far away, one of them very far away Grin

Usual rules, one guess per 24 hours Wink

however there are further rules. Relex109, Ollie and Brucey are banned from answering for the first 48 hours as they have insider intelligence......... A further rule, no looking on my twitter account Wink

Also, it may take a while for the pictures to load as the internet connection the server is located on is a little slowwwww!

Finally, Picture 5 is a guess the TOC^▸ and Class of train, 1000 bonus points for anyone who can tell me the route you'd find this train too Wink

Here goes:

1) Stratford Domestic - Unguessed

2) - London Victoria - Southeastern Platforms - Timmer - Honorable Points for Brucey for guessing the location on twitter!

3) - Gatwick Airport - bignosemac

4) Alicante - Spain - Unguessed - Alvia Service from Madrid Atocha, Terminating at Alicante

5) First Class on a Class 321 NXEA^▸ Unit to Southend Victoria - bignosemac - bonus points to readytostart for further adding it's an ex First Great Eastern unit!

6) Reading - paul7755

7) Westbury - BandHcommuter

Honiton - Unguessed

9) - Honiton, Diverted HST^▸ Service for London Paddington - paul7755

10) Yeovil Pen Mill - smokey

5) National Express East Anglia Class 321 Driving Trailer Composite Open. First Class section, obviously. Wink

Sorry, can't tell you whether it's a sub-class /3 or /4, or what the unit number is!!! Tongue

Possibly going to/from Southend?

SWT^▸ 's 455905. Some older EMU^▸ classes don't carry their whole number.

PS - the pics seem to have disappeared today, has thetrout possibly exceeded his hosting site's limits?

I'd agree and judging by the truly awful upholstery I'd say it's an unrefreshed former FGE unit.

2 is indeed London Victoria Wink

well done Timmer

5 Yes is a Class 321 Unit in First Class to Southend Victoria. Bonus points for readytostart for guessing it is indeed an ex FGE liveried unit Wink

6 Well done paul7755, Reading is where that SWT^▸ Class 455 is Wink

I'm suprised that one went so quickly as it's not often you find a 455 in RDG^‡! Sorry grahame, it's not Northern Ireland.

As paul7755 mentioned, you may have not been able to see the pictures today. This was due to a power supply failure, and for some reason which is being investigated, the UPS didn't kick in as it should have done Sad

So my apologies there! Lips sealed

That leaves: 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10

I will now open guessing to anyone, even if you've had a go

However looking on my twitter account is banned!

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

The clues were the railings in the foreground and the back of the advertising hoarding on the left - they clinched it for Reading...
