dagrizz Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Clues, the presence of two lines and two stations close to each other suggests a city. The line with the stations is a secondary line, whereas the line at the bottom of the square is a main line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleidboy Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Time for a clue methinks: Between a natural tourist attraction and a man-made one, on my 1979 OS map this square is devoid of ALL features except the path and track at top left. That map shows a (dead-end) branchline which serves no purpose (except of course it served this site!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagrizz Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Time for a disused line methinks. This was not a branch line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It's between Helmdon and Sulgrave on the former GC line: Here's the next one: Hopefully this one should be easy - the clue is in the square! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold john new Posted June 1, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2011 Local to me so easily recognised, Poole, Dorset. Give me time to find the right map and I will add the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold john new Posted June 1, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Another line that is no longer with us. Regrettably short lived and long gone. Updated Nov 2022 - Images were lost from this post. As the quiz aspect of the thread has long passed this point the image posted in to it will not be reloaded.

Bulleidboy Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Just west of Sand Hutton I cheated and googled "Gravel Pit Farm"! Off to the Club tonight, so will post the next one later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Continuing the disused line & gravel pits theme The part road number may be a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold john new Posted June 1, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yes it was the route of the Sand Hutton Light Railway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugsley Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I think this one is going to be a bit of a stinker: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi martin Did you know this one or was the partial road number too much of a clue? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugsley Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 It was the partial road number that gave it away - I ruled out the B230, found the B1230 was near an old railway and followed it until I found the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We're South West of Stratfield Mortimer, between Reading and Basingstoke: Will have a think about the next one........ Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugsley Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Yep! How on Earth did you find that? There's no way that I would have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 A systematic search for a railway line close to a pylon line - they stand out while panning the map. Anyway here is the next one: No clue for now except that I travelled this section of line last December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleidboy Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I didn't - that's for you to work out! If it helps, that was the last time I travelled by train. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
