Guest stuartp Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 As some of you may know I have a particularly unhealthy obsession with this particular station, so imagine my delight when this popped up on Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item27c06b9bd4 Now I can see what it says on the front of the card, so this is in no way a criticism of the seller, but either that's not Newton Stewart, or it's not the railway station. Newton Stewart station was a good 1/2 mile from the river, and a hundred feet or so above it, not on the river bank. If it is in Newton Stewart, judging from the left then right sweep of the river it looks like part of (what is now) Riverside Road, where the big public car park is now. However, it does look like a railway station, which suggests it's not Newton Stewart at all, and begs the question 'where on earth is it' ? That's assuming there isn't another Newton Stewart somewhere I don't know about of course ! Apologies if you're the person currently bidding over a tenner with 7 hours to go, but I've only just noticed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Riverside terminus, doesn't strike me as being particularly SW-Scottish looking architecture nearby... haven't a clue. My first thought was actually North British or maybe Caley somewhere, but even then, nothing really 'signature' to my eye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stuartp Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 That's assuming there isn't another Newton Stewart somewhere I don't know about of course ! Solved ! It's Newtownstewart in County Tyrone ! So this thread was not only premature, it's now in the wrong group ! I'll just go back to sleep. http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now as obliterated (in this case by a road) as is the "other Newtown Stewart" station in Galloway! Though It's the first time I've seen that angle of the station, most of the pictures seem to be from trains passing. Not many enthusiast photogrpahers got out there it seems.
