Peter Kazmierczak Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Going back to that electric loco shot at Euston / New St. I'm 99.9% sure it's Euston plat 4, with the picture taken from the ramp leading to plats 2/3. The reflection in the centre cab window is Hampstead Road. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted December 31, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2018 I would agree Euston. I was gonna south end of new st, plat 10-11 side looking down from the bullring wall No location cases on the platforms at New Street If you mean New St Derby end then Plat 10 has the connection from the Stour Lines coming in which would be roughly above the drivers head. The image is the wrong way round to be the other end. I'm now convinced it is Euston, my only doubt is whether it is Platform 4 or Platform 2 but I'm leaning towards P4. Edit. There is also a carriage watering point in the 6ft which were a feature of Euston for many years. New Street also had carriage watering facilities, between platforms 4/5 and 6/7 for the long distance trains between the south/south west and Scotland.

RMweb Premium iands Posted December 31, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 31, 2018 Going back to that electric loco shot at Euston / New St. I'm 99.9% sure it's Euston plat 4, with the picture taken from the ramp leading to plats 2/3. The reflection in the centre cab window is Hampstead Road. I think it might be Euston, and if so, I'd say platform 2 rather than platform 4. If you compare the photos I posted on another thread (rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/140103-london-euston-1982-1983-in-em/#entry3390321) the Loc's are 'off' the end of platform 4 and the ramp, but the Loc's are on the ramp of platform 2, as per the photo with the Electric and the driver on the phone. Of course, it might not be Euston at all, in which case I'm totally wrong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it might not be Euston at all, in which case I'm totally wrong. It is platform 4/5. Platforms 2/3 were much longer. there wasn't another platform only two tracks away at the top of the ramp.. The locations on platforms 4/5 were in the platform ramp and they went down hill as in the picture. Platform 6/7 was only slightly shorter and only two tracks between 4/5 and 6/7 at the ramp end. Edit Ian, look at the 4th picture in your post http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/140103-london-euston-1982-1983-in-em/#entry3390321 It is from Platform 3 looking at 4/5 , 6/7.....

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted January 1, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 1, 2019 I can't find it at the moment but I turned up a picture I think it may have been Flickr which had a galvanised dustbin just where that circular mark is on the platform. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For any portrait photo, I always open it in Irfanview, rotate it one way, then back again, then Save in original folder which overwrites the file, and it posts correctly. I'm sure some system whizz will be able to say why it works, but I haven't a clue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
