Well, I wouldn't put it past him
Hmm interesting thanks for that TP (and no I'm not just posting to keep pace with your post count on this thread 
).

Not Carnforth nor Mexborough.
No-one has the correct answer so far.

Can also be done for any thread, by going onto the forum, and in the 'Replies' number (highlighted blue). (A lot easier to read than in that scrolly thing you put up
)

What is more worrying I have inly posted 1496 including this one that's 93.8% of my posts are in this thread.
Hmmmm.
No wonder my wife is getting annoyed with me playing this game all the time.
Need to come up with a post reduction strategy.
Hmmmmm
Have multiple guesses in one post (not allowed under the rules)
Oh well just better say sod it and play on.........
Buxton
On a point of order, what happened to the 9 a.m. clue?

My own personal post reduction strategy has been to run out of images to post myself. Admittedly this wasn't so much a 'strategy' as a consequence of this thread going on much longer than anyone could have expected. It's less fun guessing when you've nothing to post yourself, so I don't come on here as much as I did. I guess my 472 posts were mostly in the first half of this thread'd life.

No correct answer yet. Its on the west side of the Pennines and not in Cumbria.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
This is now nearly a day old.. should I reveal another clue or give the answer away?

Give the answer seeing as this one seems to have effectively killed the thread off

I seemed to have stumped you all. I thought a North West based poster would have got that quickly.
It was Gathurst, near Wigan. Floor is open again.

I'll take over then, and one that I hope is a little simpler:

Folks a request for players of this game. As you may have noticed from the number of posts I like playing this game and I like to think I have made a few friends here. The game is at it's best when it is fast moving with guesses coming in thick and fast and people from different parts of the country playing. You never know who is going to know which station.
We have had some classic photos the plant pot the brick in the wall etc. They are funny when posted but is anyone going to get them yes but we are going to need some help. I have put up some very difficult ones but after a few guesses it becomes obvious people do not know.
I have been to a lot of stations the reason I do quite well at this game and want to continue playing.
Over the last few days a few annoying things have happened than have brought the game to a virtual standstill. I don't think is because people don't want to play but can't for a number of reasons:
1. A picture is posted then the person disappears for two days before telling every one they are wrong
2. Some steams in with the correct answer then again disappears for two days.
3. An difficult picture is posted the guesses come in but no one actually knows and after 3 pages of guesses no one is still any nearer so everyone gets bored and disappears.
Could I make a few suggestions to make the game better for everyone. I would call these game etiquette rather than rules.
1. If you are not going to be able to say if people are right or wrong don't post the picture give the floor to someone who can. You will get a chance to post your picture at a later time. It is more fun if you are there to frustrate people with a difficult picture.
2. If you are making a guess but have no pictures to post say so in the guess. After you have won people do not want to offend and do not want to jump the queue. Let us know up front and we can carry on.
3. If you have posted a picture of the station cat on a bit of platform (I can see I am going to regret that statement in a future photo) be realistic we are not going to know where it is. It is funny the reaction when it is posted but there is no point dragging it out for 3 days. Once you get to between 8 and 10 guesses you are going to have to start giving clues otherwise you are going to end up playing by yourself.
I am really sorry for the rant but as I said I do enjoy playing and so do quite a few others here. Some of the evenings spent playing have been very enjoyable and I have stayed up too late doing so. We do have a laugh from time to time and do get carried away a bit on occasion. I want to keep this game going 10,000 posts plus.
I could be well wide of the mark here as it is my view and feel free to put your views if you disagree.

Seems a fair analysis, although I think another issue to do with the slowing down of the thread is that everyone except you is running out of shots. We don't want to encourage people to post shots they haven't taken themselves IMHO.
Now I need to scan another pile of shots......

Either that or get out and get some more.
Any excuse for a trip out.

Not Ackocks Green and in the spirit of getting things moving, this station is in Northern Rails territory (though not necessarily run by them) and on the eastern side of the Pennines.

Okay seeing as IPT and TB both seem to be stumped (don't think I didn't see you lurking down there in the currently active users on this thread) then I will throw another clue out, this station is run by TPE.
