Mach it is.

Thanks.

Where are we now?

Best of luck.

Exmouth?

 

[lxfe_mxtterz]

Exmouth?

Not there, because...

Coombe Junction?

It certainly is. Well done.

That was quick! Great job!

Open floor then

Don't know how easy this is going to be but does anyone know at which station this nice mural that I came across recently is?

 

[Class15]

Smethwick Galton Bridge I think?

Looks like this one might need a bit of a hint, this station is North of Smethwick Galton Bridge. Have a less-cropped version of the mural as well, now I'm back at computer, which might just help as well.

Found this, but I'm none the wiser...


Edit: Cadishead Viaduct, apparently, near IRLAM

Just noticed this edit, it is indeed Irlam, I'll admit I was expecting someone to recognise the mural, given it's quite an interesting mural and that photo is taken from a train stopped in the station as I happened to notice it. Full picture with as much of the mural as my wide angle lens could fit in (including the station sign, hence why the second photo was still cropped) attached

Indeed. Read more about it here. It has also been reproduced on hoardings in Cadishead, as well as on Irlam station.

And now for something completely different. This installation is located at the south-east end of platform one. On Google Maps satellite view there is no sign of any OHLE, but it's going up on Streetview.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Radyr?

 

[chrisjo]

Radyr?

That didn't take long. You're next @Merthyr Imp

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Know it well. That shows the small building which was the main entrance to the station until they made the alterations, I suppose 20 or more years ago now, which involved cutting back that platform, the rest of which is behind the camera.

I've got nothing at the moment so will have to open the floor up.

OK, here's another then

Ninian Park?

 

[chrisjo]

Ninian Park?

correct.

 

[paulravuslante]

correct.

Thanks. I used to work near there.

Up next….

 

[chrisjo]

Up next….

There's a plaque at the left hand end of the ironwork that says 'Arrol Brothers Glasgow 1885'. A quick search tells me that Arrol built the Forth Bridge, Tay Bridge and Tower Bridge, but it's not any of those! I also found a bridge on the London Underground with a similar badge on it, so that's not helpful at all. Despite that, there do seem to be a great many Arrol bridges in Glasgow. Am I warm?

A good eye and aye, you’re warm but not too warm!

 

[chrisjo]

We need a bit more of a clue please.

 

[paulravuslante]

We need a bit more of a clue please.

Nobody has guessed a station as yet though

 

[Class15]

So that we get a clue, I’ll guess Stratford (London)

Ignore this one, a bit silly of me really

 

[Class15]

Gleneagles?

 

[paulravuslante]

Gleneagles?

Nope. To the south of Gleneagles. Your initial thoughts were closer.

 

[chrisjo]

So Glasgow was 'warm-ish' but it's closer to Stratford (London) than it is to Gleneagles? I need some different maps.

I ignored Stratford as requested. Here’s another angle though.
