Nice-looking station! Where is it?

Can you identify a station from just a paving slab? Sadly, some people can

London Waterloo has certainly gone downhill since the last time I was there then!

Station Hurdy-Gurdy - Answered

Post by RobbieM »

So, the clue was 'toilet'. Perhaps that's 'WC'. Yes, it's time to flush this one out...

'W.C.' are the initials of Station Hurdy-Gurdy, which is Wrexham Central. Or perhaps Wrecsam Canolog, in the vernacular. Either way, it's still toilet.... Photo taken after my arrival there in 2015. I then walked back to Wrexham General to continue my journey.

Well done to Michael Churchill, TubeGuru and LunaticOnTheGrass for correctly guessing the station.

Next up in a day or two will be Station Itótele! (What's one of those, I hear you ask...)

Station Itótele

Post by RobbieM »

In case you’re wondering, an Itótele is the middle drum in the set of three batá drums, from Cuba.

As for where Station Itótele is, well, you’ll have to work that out for yourselves. PMs, please! :D

Station Itótele - Hint

Post by RobbieM »

If the hint to Hurdy-Gurdy was “toilet”, the hint to Itótele is “computer”.

Station Itótele - Answer

Post by RobbieM »

So, the hint for Station Itótele was 'computer'. That could be a PC! Which are the initials of Station Itótele.

And 'well done' to trains500, tubeguru and greatkingrat for correctly identifying Station Itótele as Paisley Canal. :D :D :D

Now, with it being Passover week, how appropriate that Station Jew's Harp will be coming in a day or two...

Station Jew's Harp

Post by RobbieM »

Here we go then. The Jew’s Harp is an instrument with a small frame and vibrating metal tongue which you put in your mouth. Firstly, pluck the tongue (the metal one, not yours…). Then alter the shape of your mouth to make interesting twangy sounds. With comedy potential.

Oh, and Station Jew’s Harp is awaiting your PMs! 😊
