Flying Fox 34F Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I’ll plump for Worksop. Very busy place in the past and Peter Denny replicated the buildings on Buckingham at first, then transferred to Leighton. Paul 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullie Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Retford sounds like a good shout, not that I have ever been there. Martyn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2750Papyrus Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Maybe bending the rules a bit, but I'll go for Gorton due to the presence of The Tank and Beyer Peacock as well as a station. Additionally, I worked in West Gorton for a couple of years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn I was being a bit tongue in cheek really I'm afraid Martyn! Retford was between Manchester & Cleethorpes on the route of GC trains but it was a GN station 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted September 5, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2020 Only one photo tonight, as I forgot to prepare any more. Can I get away with this, or is there just too much clutter obscuring the locomotive? Seagull with the Glasgow, by the way. The intention is to feature the station name for the forthcoming article, but I'm not sure this is the best way to do it. 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieR4489 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I think if you panned the camera to the left a bit so that the sign is a bit more central it would work nicely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post great northern Posted September 6, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2020 More of Seagull this morning, the classic one coming under the bridge... and one from the Midland lines. Must get on, lots of couplings to be fitted. 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted September 6, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) Another tie, Woodhead 4 Barnetby 4. Today please retrace your steps from lovely Cleethorpes to Sheffield Victoria, and go from there down the GC London extension, remembering that the emphasis now is more on the ordinary through town or wayside station. The Chesterfield loop is included, and Clive is not allowed to remind me that they all looked the same, so there.

RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted September 6, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 6, 2020 Loughborough Central. I had some fun there in the early days of the Main Line Steam Trust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold DaveF Posted September 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2020 East Leake. A typical small wayside GC station, but I lived there for a few years as a child and caught the train to school each day. David 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Metropolitan H Posted September 6, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 6, 2020 My vote goes to Brackley Central - the main building of which has become a good cafe in recent years, which hopefully is still open.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted September 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2020 In contrast to recent polls where I knew zilch, I did at least travel some of the GC in its very last days. So Nottingham Arkwright St it has to be, since I knew as I descended the rickety stairs in April 1969 that it had only a couple of weeks to go. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium great northern Posted September 6, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 6, 2020 A question as well as a poll today. Going back to the E.Lincs, one of the stations had a name containing only three letters. Without looking it up, can anyone identify it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
61379mayflower Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Cleethorpes for me too. Out of the station, turn left and in 20 yards or so you are on the beach (assuming the tides not in) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
