Peterborough North

[Deltic Man]

Northallerton for me

[mullie]

Reedsmouth Junction looks a fascinating place, remember first seeing it in an LNER branchlines book when I was about 15 so I will give that a vote.

Another vote for Reedsmouth.

[great northern]

Gentlemen, there is a problem. I did specify the ECML for this poll, and Reedsmouth is not on it. There will be polls which will allow you to vote for this, and other delightful byways, but on this one they are wasted.

[figworthy]

Northallerton, change for the Wensleydale line.

My apologies then - 'twas me that misread the rules for this one!

[60027Merlin]

I'll go for Tweedmouth now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[New Haven Neil]

Morpeth for me too.

 

Feeling a little flat here too, Gilbert, but for obvious reasons!  It'll pass.

[LNER4479]

Having had time to re-focus, how about Ferryhill, twixt Darlo and Durham. Bet that was a fascinating place at its height. I think I’m right in saying that some of now NRM locos from the old York museum were stored in the shed there for safe keeping during the last unpleasantness.

[mullie]

Me....... I'm lost now so will abstain from this one.

[Clive Mortimore]

Pilmoor.

 A few things got done today, for a change, including some more trains running. We start this evening by focusing on Brancepeth Castle, as it begins to move away with the Colchester. It won't go any further than Cambridge though.

 

 

 

A few minutes later 60853 also sets off for the slow trip to Doncaster.

 

 

 

Just for a change, we have starlings plus blurry poles, which were comfortably outside my photo shopping capabilities. The Management hope that this will not detract too much from your viewing experience.

[great northern]

Early this morning, and everything is in black and white, except outside, where it is just grey again. Still looking for new angles on a WD, I tried this.

 

 

Then a Leicester local appeared under the bridge, but the photograher let it get a little too far underneath, so it is a bit shadowy.

Two main contenders for this poll, Alnmouth and Northallerton. The latter sneaked in by 6 votes to 4.

 

We will come further South this morning, and look at Great Eastern lines. Major junction stations London to Norwich and London to Cambridge. And you can't have Liverpool Street again, Clive. Not the lovely little meandering branch line junctions today please. They deserve a separate poll shortly.

[phil.c]

Looking good, just a suggestion, stretch the distant sidings to the right of the signals.

[FarrMan]

I'm not so familiar with the GE, but I will go for Colchester for this one.

 

Lloyd

[St Enodoc]

If Cambridge itself counts, then Cambridge. If not, then Ipswich.

[JamieR4489]

Well Ely is on the way to Norwich from London if you start from King’s Cross so I’ll go for there. If that’s doesn’t count I’ll go for Cambridge.

Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, Bow, Stratford, Illford, Shenfield, Witham, Marks Tey, Colchester, Manningtree, East Suffolk Junction (Ipswich), Haughley, or Trowse?

 

GE&LNW Junction (Cambridge), Shepreth Branch Junction, Bishop's Stortford, Broxbourne, Cheshunt, Angel Road, Copper Mills, Hackney Downs or Bethnal Green.

 

Witham because I lived there.

[mullie]

Marks Tey, junction for the Stour Valley line and all those lovely archaic cross country trains hauled by E4s, J15s D16s etc. The diesel services looked great in this setting too.

 

Haughley was a close second.

[David Bell]

I will go with Ipswich

[2750Papyrus]

Cambridge - a junction in its own right, served by a number of pre-grouping companies.  Attractive station building and bi-directional platform.

Thanks Phil. I shall do that when I work out what the final format will be, and how I'm going to do it. The trouble is it looks good from some angles and horrid from others.

[great northern]

This is not a plonk, as it was taken in mid air, and without a tripod. Surprisingly little camera shake really. Anyway, I thought Peter Leyland's lovely footbridge tower deserved star treatment.

 

 

[Market65]

Well, for this poll, I think I’ll go with Cambridge. So big, and that long platform.
