>  Somewhere with "market" in the name.

 

 

Clayton & North British products standing outside the still unfinished new Haymarket diesel depot in September 1965.

 

 

 

Keeping to the same theme, somewhere other than Haymarket that has "Hay" in its name.

 

 

 

edit:     sorry  -  for sake of accuracy, that should read September 1966, not 1965 (10th, to be precise)

To satisfy some old requests as well as the present one - a diesel triple-headed industrial train in open country.

 

GP9 no. 203 of the Copper Basin Railway leads GP39 no. 401 and GP39-2 no. 502 on an ore train at Hayden Junction, Arizona.

 

 

Next, something to ponder and puzzle over - somewhere with a place name that references somewhere else (perhaps using the connective "by" as part of its name) or a name that incorporates a distance from somewhere more important.

Will (departing Southbound) from Burton 'ON' Trent do?

 

 

If so then how about a place with 'under' as a linking part of the name?

[EddieB]

Sorry Andy, actually I was hoping for something that referred to another place, rather than a geographic feature*.

 

Can we see what else comes along - if nothing does, you can have it.

 

*To give some pointers, there is "Mile End", which can be an LUL station (Central and District lines), a sand terminal between Stratford and Liverpool Street, or a depot and railway museum near Adelaide (South Australia).  There was Stoke-by-Clare in Suffolk (but I'm not sure if "By Clare" was ever part of the station name).  In Europe there's Ventimiglia ("twenty miles") - which I think is the distance from the Franco-Italian border and Hatvan ("sixty"), representing its distance in kilometres from Budapest.

I was making the association between Burton and Trent, both railway stations in their own right, albeit Trent is now only a junction.

 

The (river) Trent connects them both.

The shuttle from Birmingham International to the airport is not counted then.

Is it actually a railway though?

[NorthBrit]

Taken from Birmingham International.

[melmerby]

Is it actually a railway though?

It runs on I beams and is cable-hauled

But it does not have flanged wheels as guidance is done by separate wheels bearing on the inner face of the I beam.

Is it a Railway? Discuss!

[phil_sutters]

Where are we with the current challenge?

[NorthBrit]

The  systemat Birmingham International to the Airport is the DCC Doppelmayr Cable Car Cable Liner Shuttle.  Announced in late 2000 and construction started in 2001. The Interchange was opened in March 2003. The system was originally known as SkyRail but in 2004 it was renamed AirRail Link.

 

Next,  (suggested by Eddie B) something to ponder and puzzle over - somewhere with a place name that references somewhere else (perhaps using the connective "by" as part of its name) or a name that incorporates a distance from somewhere more important.

I'm waiting adjudication on my posts #1278 & #1280

Personally, if I were adjudicating, and if we were playing by strict rules, I'd disqualify, as Burton on Trent is on the River Trent, and so it isn't really referencing somewhere else.

 

X for Y, or X Road, or X Parkway might be closer to the original intention I'd have thought.

I think what you really mean is something like this -

 

 

Which is actually here in NSW rather than on the Tyne

 

 

Or this which is in the New version of South Wales rather than the original

That explains it much better; I'll take the 'hit' on BoT then

[The Blue Streak]

So where are We at ? Does Andy's suggestion Stand or does Mike get to choose ?

To get things moving again.   A place with 'under' as a linking part of the name? 

[Tim R-T-C]

Interestingly, there are only two current stations in the UK with under in: Ascott-Under-Wychwood and Ashton-Under-Lyne

 

I've not been to either, so... sorry.

What about sUNDERland?

Oh dear, I fear I truly set the cat among the pigeons - even after trying to help with dropping some suggestions.  Well, I'm going to give Andy a chance to get revenge on me, with this offering (and to prove I can sink below Keith's tongue-in-cheek suggestion).

 

Here's Norwegian 600mm gauge "BJØRKAASEN" (0-4-0T OK 1363/1904, ex-AS Bjørkaasen Gruver), in steam, but not working passenger carrying trains on the Lommedalsbanen at Gundershogget.  Not the easiest place of access, as the more direct route was via a private road that required a resident with a key to unlock - I managed to tail-gate someone going in, but ran into difficulties trying to get out!

 

 

If the German "unter" were allowable, I could find a couple of examples of that (but not as a linking word).

 

I won't even dare to set the next one...

[Tim R-T-C]

Well, picking a photo completely at random from my gallery for a wildcard:

Lets keep things simple for a bit, seem to have been some accidentally overly difficult requests lately that have slowed this thread right down.

 

How about a Suburban Electric Multiple Unit, anywhere in the world that you fancy.

[leopardml2341]

Berlin S-Bahn, Akexanderplatz IIRC

 

 

Next, same but overhead electric?

OHLE:

How about another of the 1972 BREL EMU designs - ie. a Class  313/314/507/508

[phil_sutters]

I trust 2C2 is suburban enough!

 

 

OK beaten on the OLE 

 

but I have a few 313s but only one with a redundant pantograph

 

 

A regular service that runs way out of its own company's area - preferably now, but could be in the past.
