Six of the worst

[whole diary]

That clock looks like DART green to me, so somewhere in the Dublin area? Although wasn't aware that DART has 10 car trains.

0 = Dublin Heuston through platform

Oh gosh - if I were a pedant I would not accept that answer ... I think it used to be a through platform, but there's a buffer stop on the end of it now and it's just an extra platform somewhat separate from the main station. The photo is taken from a train on the through line having come out of Phoenix Park Tunnel ... no platform on that through line though.

Just checked my camera.  Yep ...

Just one remaining

Perhaps the least worst.  At least it's bright and pretty.   Long way away ... I will fill you in tonight if no-one gets it.

Wouldn't be Galashiels by any chance would it ?

Appledore on the only railway with a ‘!’ in its name.

Are we back on the Far North Line?

One of the less bleak and open stations that has been "singled" at some time in the past?

Is that enough (in football terms) to be an assist to enable one of our more knowledgeable colleagues to  score in the dying minutes of the game, or earn extra time?

In footballing terms, it's looking like the ball is going just wide of the goal.

Muir of Ord?

Muir of Ord?

Sorry - no.  It's on the Kyle Line - Attadale I believe although the mobile signal only phone appears to have been poor so the lat, long data I have is shaky.  May be Strathcarron ... certainly west of Achnashellach and I think short of Kyle of Lochalsh.

Using google, I am pretty certain that this is Stromeferry, as it's the only one in this area I can find with a disused platform and a stone wall

I am pretty certain you are right

Those oh-so-assiduous picture and plan makers at National Rail's "Stations Made Easy" have been to Stromeferry, of course, and their picture is much clearer:

That's interesting.  I'm guessing there really was a ferry in those days ... the road ran from Kyle of Lochalsh up to the Strome Ferry which crossed Loch Carron ... rail only on to Strathcarron along the south side of the loch.

Putting in the road was tough engineering, and the section now has a rock slide issue.  Notes the other day that the road is to be closed for 12 weeks with rubber mats over the rails to let cars share.
