Google Street View treasure hunt!

[tubeguru]

I'm sure its not driven on any of them. Can you see platforms from street view? Of course.

Overbridges are the best thing for views of stations, but not all of the access roads alongside depots and the such are accessible to public traffic, so the Google car couldn't get down there. Hence, a perfect view not available.

Are you talking about a station in particular? Having set the question I of course I know of at least one example... I'm tempted to try and find some others too.

I knew my home town would come in useful one day!!!

Please find for me: A closed level crossing

[tubeguru]

Easy, as long as you know your routes.

This is Bishton crossing, between Severn Tunnel Junction and Newport on the South Wales main line. The signalbox still stands, and is the crossing keeper's rather overblown building. As this crossing has gates it was easy for me to find. You try find an AHBC in the down position ...

Can anyone find me a helipad? It has to have a big "H" on it!

How about a trailer not hitched up to a car?

That link goes to an aerial view of Chiswick High Road. The link must be from GROUND LEVEL VIEW. That is, as seen from the camera on the Google car.

follow up question as above

[tubeguru]

Ah that's better, although I'm not sure why you've done a split screen.

[tubeguru]

I think a person making an abusive gesture at a Google car is proving difficult, no?

[tractakid]

Its a difficult one as there are no clues as to where it may occur. I haven't put much effort into looking for it, but i'll give it another go in a bit.

[tubeguru]

There should be a rule with this quiz that if no one has found the latest "treasure" within a certain time, then that item "times out", and someone can set another.

Good idea?

[tractakid]

I haven't edited that post.

[tubeguru]

I hadn't seen that clause.
