mullie Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 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. Martyn 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 60027Merlin Posted August 5, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 5, 2020 Another vote for Reedsmouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted August 5, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 5, 2020 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNER4479 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted August 5, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2020 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. 26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted August 6, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2020 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. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted August 6, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2020 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. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieR4489 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullie Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 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. Martyn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2750Papyrus Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Cambridge - a junction in its own right, served by a number of pre-grouping companies. Attractive station building and bi-directional platform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted August 6, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2020 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. 25 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted August 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 6, 2020 Well, for this poll, I think I’ll go with Cambridge. So big, and that long platform. Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
