Aerial Photo of Station Thing Quiz #2 - CLOSED

Post by tubeguru »

OK, following on from the first quiz which proved to be relatively popular, here is round two. The station is on the right of the picture. I won't give a clue yet - I'll wait to see who moans that they have NO idea whatsoever.

As I made clear in the first quiz, NORTH IS AT THE TOP OF THE MAP. PM me the answers, and off you go! Any ideas?

Yes, and it's in England. And it is NOT on the Western region.

Ooh, ooh, I actually know this one :)

(I knew the last one too, but for some reason didn't enter... I thought I had, but as I wasn't on the list of people who did, I obviously didn't!)

Ooooh - I know it too! I've not been on forum for some time, but I was just looking to see what's been happening, and recognised this station pretty quickly...

That's a little extreme, but it will get the answer eventually ...

OK, I've closed this one now, and it was no surprise that everyone except one person got it right.

It is, of course, York, where I'm going next week. The following people got it right:

greatkingrat
uefacup81
moley
mullardo
Starkey
Rich Tea G
Robbie M
jamesthegill
tangy
StonePony (or his boss, to be precise)
Sam

Only krollo got it wrong, but he wasn't a million miles away with Doncaster.

Quiz number three is being prepared for service. Please listen for announcements.

How did I not recognise York? I was there only a few weeks ago. All the National Railway Museum site next to it is very distinctive.
