" said:in that case, well done!I could have guessed at the location from the Durian fruit sign but got beaten to it before I saw the posting. For anybody that doesn't know what Durian is, it smells bad even unopened, kind of sulphur smell. My checked-in baggage on a domestic Philippines flight was in a hold with Durian and it reeked for weeks afterwards. It's not as if it even tastes good, to me at least! SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

Think it's about time I revealed all of my 'Guess The Location'...errr.....locations. " said: 'UKTM-01' - http://www.flickr.com/photos/uktrainman/6121536660 As previously correctly guessed, it was Brundall, Norwich. " said: 'UKTM-02' - http://www.flickr.com/photos/uktrainman/6125753066 This was looking north, Down the ECML (East Coast Main Line), from Deard's End Lane footbridge in Knebworth. Still no idea on the train, though. " said: 'UKTM-03' - http://www.flickr.com/photos/uktrainman/6125208513 Also as previously correctly guessed, it was Barnes, London. " said: 'UKTM-04' - http://www.flickr.com/photos/uktrainman/6125751040 Actually initially struggled to relocate this one myself, but it is the GWML (Great Western Main Line) from the M4 bridge on the outskirts of Swindon. " said: 'UKTM-05' - http://www.flickr.com/photos/uktrainman/6128312423 Quite surprised no-one managed to get this one what with the simulation. It is Gringley Road LC on the outskirts of Retford. Thanks for all the attempts on these, and well done to both DaveHarries and John for correctly guessing two of them.

@guidomcc: I don't know the location of that but good to see tokens and mechanical points (judging by what that guy taking the token has his foot on) still very much in use. Dave Log in to reply |

I hope no-one minds me throwing this photo in too. In this photo we have a Cross Country train passing a signal that, as far as I know, is rarely lit for the direction indicated. 1. Where did I take this picture? 2. Why was the signal showing the direction indicated? (Note: for part 2, simply putting: "because a train was going that way" isn't what I hope for as that is obvious!) Dave Last edited: 30/04/2012 at 21:37 by DaveHarries Log in to reply |

" said:I hope no-one minds me throwing this photo in too. In this photo we have a Cross Country train passing a signal that, as far as I know, is rarely lit for the direction indicated.Nope, I don't think anyone would mind, as this is exactly the sort of thing this thread is intended for. 1: Lawrence Hill, Bristol. Photo shows Signal 252, therefore is looking towards Dr Day's Junction. 2: I'd be tempted to say something like because the signaller wants to light up that feather (Position 1(?)), but I guess it's lit up because the train is, at a guess, going towards North Somerset Junction, although I'm not sure if saying that counts as saying ""because a train was going that way"".

" said:1: Lawrence Hill, Bristol. Photo shows Signal 252, therefore is looking towards Dr Day's Junction. Is the right answer. I didn't think it would prove too difficult but decided to try it anyway. " said: 2: I'd be tempted to say something like because the signaller wants to light up that feather (Position 1(?)), but I guess it's lit up because the train is, at a guess, going towards North Somerset Junction, although I'm not sure if saying that counts as saying ""because a train was going that way"". Same meaning, different words. To put it another way, something was necessitating more trains being sent that way than usual on Monday. But what? If no-one gets this by the time I get home from work on Tuesday I will post the answer to this part. Dave Last edited: 30/04/2012 at 22:45 by DaveHarries Log in to reply |

For question 2 I would suggest the emergency absolute possession of the up and down Badminton lines in the Hullavington area due to the water levels being in contravention of rule book module M4 clause 1.1 for permitted traffic running when excessive water is in or around the 4ft was resulting in diversions of the 1Axx's coming via the Severn Tunnel via Bath Spa.

There has been quite a bit of disruption to the services in Devon and Somerset recently. There was an Obstruction on the line at Totnes a couple of days ago and yesterday we had flooding on the Exeter-Newton section, Exeter-Tiverton section and Swindon-Bristol Parkway. I believe the Swindon one was more severe.
