Somewhere on the "Western Region" because of the lower quadrant semaphores? And somewhere which is also served by Virgin Trains (or Cross Country) - or whoever  ;D |

There's Greenford in there....Where else in London do regular passenger services obey semaphores?

Can't be Greenford as: marker for 4/5 car trains (Greenford line is 2 car) and semaphore arms are level whereas two arms at different levels??. Ditto South Greenford and which was also otherwise a contender.

Definitely Western signals. Station sign will probably say "junction for...."
St Erth or Liskeard?

I thought stations all had to be LU / LO / DLR ?

I think the 'a single part question' was a bit misleading: the main question is the station in the middle 'swirl', with the orange handlebars - which is somewhere on LO, probably on the NLL (it's overhead electrification) somewhere; there is also a 'background' location or four, looking like Cornwall.

etr200 has got it right, the main question is the central section of the image, which is on topic (basically if it's on topic for the forum it's on topic for the quiz). The background is not so restricted.
The "single part question" means just that what you see is what you get for today - there will be no more parts/other images posted during the day. I don't so many multi-part questions these days, but just like every other type of question I can do more or less if you let me know that's what you want.

My guess is somewhere near Willesden Junction - possibly near the Harrow Road bridge?

I have a feeling it may be Hampstead heath looking toward Gospel oak (having eliminated just about everywhere else on the NLL.

Argh! How did I manage to miss this day? I have been to Par countless times, and I recognised it instantly!  |
