It's in Scotland, somewhere in RETB▸ (Radio Electronic Token Block) land. Somewhere on the West Highland perhaps and, since I don't recognise, probably between Crianlarich and Fort William.

Not on the West Highland Line - that uses solely class 156 stock.

Erm .. thanks, Tom!  I'm even more confused, now!

Like Karl, I was inclined to suggest Georgemas Junction, near Halkirk, but I didn't have the nerve to do so - sorry, Karl, you did, and so you got the 'nope'!  Wink

Tom, is this, by any chance, one of your recent 'two weeks' full English breakfasts' bash pictures?

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) 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.

My clue is accurate - it's in the southern north!

And I can neither confirm nor deny whether it was part of my breakfast bashing.

Afternoon

With what seems to be dense forrest in the pic
top left, stations with dense forrest around
them in the OS▸ (Ordnance Survey) map are: Dunkeld, Kincraig and
Ardgay.  So any of those?

Whats your guess Devon Metro?

Regards

Karl.
