So, what is this for, and where was it photographed? If anyone gets the exact location (1 guess each) I will personally send them £10.  |

Its a P/way asset plate, fixed to a wooden sleeper which was at West Hampstead on the Southbound Jubilee Line.
Now at another location.

The £10 is for the exact location. Far too vague.

Top of the South End Ramp. The BRS Code changes to B106 there.

The young creative minds work totally differently from the adults. Pity they cannot understand the meaning of the word exact. Wasted guesses lads!!! The tenner's still safe. ;D ;D ;D
But DWS and Tom, of course, have correctly answered the 'what' bit.

An observation (NOT a guess yet).
Ballast is visible around the edges. There is a leaf, a piece of paper and a twig from a tree. Unless someone has used large amounts of superglue, these items (together with the shadows) suggests that the item in question is on the ground out of doors.

Errr, exactly what part of 200m from the top of the ramp at the South End of the Platform at West Hampstead, on the SB Local road did I not get correct? That's the exact information as to the plate's location, transcribed from the plate. Unless of course the plate hasn't been transferred when resleepering. P.S. Loving the teacher style response Phil. ;D |

Teaching style or not, Tom, you have indeed missed the point of where it IS (as opposed to where it should be).
Factually you have it correct - the plate was NOT removed whilst resleepering, which is why it is hundreds of miles from its stated location.

And according to the plate that was correct. The fact that it wasn't where it should be puts a twist on things later. |

Scince he is going over there in July, Phil could buy him a coke.
Easy way to solve that problem.
Although that won't happen. CT wouldn't know where the photo was taken.

Ok then, stab in the dark guess - halfway down Minehead main platform. Getting closer, but still quite a few miles away - and there is a good reason why it is NOT in a platform (or on any main running line for that matter). |

I thought standing in a pitch dark room, walking in circles was exciting, that is until I saw this thread, it has given me many hours of dizzy pleasure this thread. It is unlikely to be equalled.  |
