Guess the Location

[Tomnick]

Found Norwich to be quite a respectable city myself! Though that wasn't where I was when I took that photo...

 

[clagmonster]

Colchester

 

[Tomnick]

Nope!

 

[Julian G]

keep guessing for mine
i was on a Southern train

 

[Met Driver]

Well, pretty much all of 1288gaje's photos are on the West London Line, so you can bet your life it is somewhere along there!

 

[Tom]

1288gaje, TBH - your picture was not specific enough, so stop smiling!

 

[Met Driver]

The photo is far too obscure and could have been taken at any number of locations, but at a guess it is between West Brompton and Clapham Junction.

 

[Julian G]

ok, i will tell you then
North Kensington :P

 

[joy54.gen]

Where is North Kensington

 

[Met Driver]

North Kensington does not exist as a location with any relation to railways, so perhaps (since you've decided to reveal the answer) you could tell us where it in terms of nearby stations etc?

 

[Julian G]

it's the area north of the West London Line passing under the A40 where the trains put up the pantograph
North Kensington near the North Pole Depot and GWML

Have a go at this, taken from a level crossing. Just the approx location will do!

I think that's a tough one, so here's a clue.
The view looking to my left (eastbound), taken at the same spot as above. (Note the gradient).

I'll give you another clue and say it's within a 30 mile radius of York.

 

[Ben]

somewhere near Church Fenton?

 

[yorkie]

somewhere near Church Fenton?

Not really, no. (It's not the Dearn Valley line, nor the York-Leeds line)

 

[Tomnick]

Not somewhere around Hambleton, is it?

 

[yorkie]

Not somewhere around Hambleton, is it?

Getting warmer, but it's still a few miles off.

 

[Tom]

Hehehe, I zoomed into the signal and know where it is...

I'm not telling though!

 

[Max]

I'm going to have a stab at this - is it north east of south milford on the Hull-Leeds line, where it crosses the Dearn Valley line?

Good guess but not quite right.

 

[yorkie]

ok the signal is Dxxx, I think you can guess what D stands for. I wont say what the number is for now.

This is the view looking west. A slight falling gradient, straight track, flat land.

 

[Ben]

is it near the Askern level crossing?

 

[bunnahabhain]

Is it the Selby - Temple Hirst Junction line?

 

[Tomnick]

The line between Adwick Jn. and Applehurst Jn. (on the way towards Hatfield & Stainforth), somewhere near the ECML flyover?

 

[yorkie]

The line between Adwick Jn. and Applehurst Jn. (on the way towards Hatfield & Stainforth), somewhere near the ECML flyover?

Correct!!!

And the signal number is D729, and the view looking east is the ECML flyover, the view looking west is towards Adwick.

This is on the TransPennine Trail cycle route from York/Selby/Hull towards Doncaster.

 

[Ben]

one from the past

 

[Simming]

err, you cant hotlink from the sidings

 

[yorkie]

You can't link (directly) to photos on that site.

My guess is Huddersfield

 

[bunnahabhain]

Rather difficult this, it could be anywhere.

But having looked at the signal codes, I'm going to guess it's somewhere around Reading, if not Reading itself.

Close?

[bunnahabhain]
