@northernassist Why not use blue sky?

@andrewpconnell @MichaelSadgrove AMR for a start (I'm too your to remember AM itself). Where does the alternative appear? EH tradition I assume

@RoddyJenkins @greensignallers @railnigel @SRichardBowker @stefatrail Midland-type fencing, U/Q Signals, Pannier, cut-down 03... confusing mixture! Blaenavon line?

@liambeadle @AngelaTilby @2D0XPS ISTR he drafted it at Synod in response to a request for a more participatory EP. And it is not the preserve of nearky-order-2 types :)

@liambeadle @tapanisimojoki Common enough in the 90s - comes from US via films I think.

@keithward329 @NetworkRailWssx @GWRHelp there was once :)

@RHummBooks To my surprise, I think it is Reigate. Reasoning:
1. the church is almost certainly CofE so orientated E-W. V few double track railways run E-W.
2. no town centre, C19-20 housing (so commuter-land).
3. Footbridge, LC, station building, underbridge match.

@railnigel Laycock and Bannister were as local as it got - Crosshills in the West Riding. The organs in Cononley and Bradley Methodists were both theirs, unsurprisingly.

@sainsburys can I claim staff discount for wasting time scanning and packing my big shop? :)
No staffed checkouts available at Greengates 0925-35 today, I was one of several customers needing help and only one staff to assist :(

@rudybanjo @seatsixtyone Do I remember a Tartan Express parcels service last century?

[Colin Penfold @PenfoldColin]

@jablon007 @seatsixtyone I always enjoy autotranslate on journey planners, but it gets confusing when sometimes it uses the host language and sometimes not :)

@RHummBooks Gravesend W looks a better match though.

[Colin Penfold @PenfoldColin]

@RHummBooks @jsamways Just to say I have done a NLOS map search of the lines I suggested (MGN, MSW, Banbury-Kingham) and can't find any match.
The position of the loading gauge puzzles me - implies that the yard curves left as well as right.
But I agree we are defeated.

@EuropeByRail For a Yorkshire audience, I used to say it was "York without the tourists." Or Lincoln perhaps.

[Colin Penfold @PenfoldColin]

@RHummBooks No idea, but possible clues:
fencing - vaguely GWR but with finials (was that a gate?).
car - suggests 50s rather than 60s so an early closure (the singling could have preceded closure, eg MSWJR).
scenery - S England?
orientation E-W - Banbury-Kingham? M&GNJR?

@WakeCathedral @WakefieldMayor @CroftonSilver @PindersPrimary @MyWakefield Or even a Civic Carol Service? :)

@Peter_Mugridge @RHummBooks @bgstrowger @Marshrail @railway200 @railexpress @RailwayMagazine @Captain_Deltic @trailersecond @LordPeterHendy @Modern_Railways The Goods platform shows up on the map I linked, as does the crossover in front of it.

@bgstrowger @Marshrail @railway200 @RHummBooks @railexpress @RailwayMagazine @Captain_Deltic @trailersecond @LordPeterHendy @Modern_Railways Gerrard Cross would fit - see the layout https://t.co/lw7gsbihye

@chrisdaleoxford @RHummBooks I'd reached the same conclusion. Here's the map, with the odd-shaped Lewisham Road bridge in the foreground. https://t.co/eQG1wmp0xc
