Probably the same model of shelter, and you may have the right TOC▸ colours ...but not Church Stretton, I'm afraid. |

Same here but you beat me to it stuving . Yes, that's Fishguard and Goodwick, picture taken from within a train - "the boat train" - on my arrival from Rosslare. This particular model of station building seems to be the current 'standard' although they're clearly reconfigurable to meet individual station needs |

Indeed: we 'need' some of that standard of modern station buildings at Nailsea & Backwell (but not necessarily in that particular colour scheme, of course!).  |

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.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Yes, it is Redhill - complete with third rail electrification which runs from there to Reigate, then there's a gap to the junction with the Portsmouth line between Shalford and Guildford and you're into third rail territory again. Being brought up in Kent, I remember catching the Tonbridge to Reading service that reversed at Redhill - the forerunner of the Gatwick to Reading service. Redhill to Tonbridge has now been electrified with third rail, joining up two sections which were both electric but with a diesel section between and there's huge logic for doing the same thing in the other direction from Redhill (to Guildford). |

Hmmmm ... that's a very general comment indeed. Looks like a start of the "20 questions" method of working out where someone is by halving the possibilities, then halving them again ... and again ... Neither confirming nor denying the USA ... looking for something a bit more specific before I come back with a yay/nay! |
