A couple more from me : Bonus points for the signal number.   Bonus points for the station in the background. "Passengers for New Lane, should be seated in the rear coach of the train " - Opinions are my own and not those of my employer Last edited: 28/09/2011 at 14:46 by headshot119 Log in to reply |

Thought I would try this one on you lot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/14103794@N04/6208140576 Apart from the usual "Where is this location?" question, there is a sub-question here: This box opened in its current location in 1970.Where was it previously?

" said:it looks a bit like kidderminster to me? Yes, it is Bargoed. Well guessed! The box was previously at Cymmer Afan, north of Maesteg. It was installed there sometime between 1958 & 1963 to control the layout of what had been two rival companies' stations - R&SBR and GWR - which were right next to each other. Before the installation of the box between 1958 & 1963 the stations had been under control of separate boxes. The box and the lever frame were transferred to Bargoed after the closure of Cymmer Afan: they assumed control of Bargoed wef 09-Nov-1970.

Ge4ntlemen! Can I bring some order to this thread! It seems all the current posts are mixed up, and there's no clear winner of each guess. Can I propose a few rules? 1) You can only post one location if you guess the previous location correctly. The first to post the correct location is the winner of that round. 2) The location must be within the UK (that's England, Scotland, Wales and NI) Will these do? Log in to reply |

T'was a suggestion, we can ditch that rule if we want, as i think 1 is more important

Hi all, Thought I would tease your brains again with this one. It is an audio poser though, not a visual one. On Tuesday 25th October I took my lunch break next to a station which has a level crossing at one end of it. When the signalman next to the crossing initiates the sequence to close the crossing then you get this noise..... http://www.btinternet.com/~dcharries/CIMG7326.WAV ..... instead of a warbling noise. Anyone care to have a guess where I recorded that sound clip? I will give a clue in that it is this side of the Irish Sea and not in Scotland or Wales. I look forward to seeing if anyone gets this one right. Dave Log in to reply |
