Rather distinctive stair towers, and a while driving BVE in that area!

Looking at the brickwork it looks like they were originally uncovered, and where did that blocked up arch lead?

38 isn't Ealing Broadway, although one of the earlier photos was of Ealing Broadway that doesn't mean it can't be again.

43. was taken on the 24th June 2006. As I found the answer via Google, and have seen your photo in full I feel that to answer further is cheating.

Oracle - very fair of you. I'd not thought that googling would find some of the earlier photos (oops!)
David - nope.

Barons Court won an ARPS/IA award in 1998 it seems in the Stations category!
Got to be fair Chris...I would never have guessed where the location was!

If I'd known that I could have put both plaques in the quiz and been really cruel ;D Got to be fair Chris...I would never have guessed where the location was! For others who haven't Googled, all I'll say is that it is a terminus - but please don't just go through and guess each of the 30-odd termini one-by-one! |

For the ones that have not yet been got -
38 - I thought this would be one of the easier ones. There are only 30-something termini, not all of them are on the surface, how many of them have a sand drag beyond the FRL?
41 - This is diificult at first glance, but I don't know of anywhere else with the same layout. The exposure was 1/4 of a second, look how far the train in the background has travelled in that time. It was taken from a pubically accessible part of a platform on an operational station.
42 - I expect that only someone who works on the line or is familiar with track layouts will get this one, note the bay platform.
43 - This is very tricky! Although if you know your history you might want to think about what was happening in about 1992 or 1993 that would make a change sufficient for an award to be considered. Also look at who the award was presented to - do you think they would get it for a station managed by someone else?

It was taken from a pubically accessible part of a platform on an operational station. That train didn't stop there, the fast met stations all seem to have walls. I'm going with Aldgate, that train being a district line train passing through the junction. It's probably wrong, as i recall there is a bit more distance between the station and the junction. |

I have to agree, 38 is Olympia - shame on all you District fans!! ;D ;D
I reckon 41 is Aldgate.

38 is Kensington Olympia
41 is Aldgate, but that's a westbound H&C train, not a District train.
42 isn't Archway
43 isn't King's Cross

42 is the Mansion House sub-station gap track safety diagram. I Photographed it at a different station, but I imagine that it is identical to the one at Mansion House.
43 anybody...

Google and find the answer, only use a particular search phrase as it took some time using AltaVista and Google to find it!
Also will you be arrested if caught on the "pubically-accessible platform"? It's not Brighton Beach! I told my Big Boss in an e-mail that I had "pooped into Smith's" recently!

Google and find the answer, only use a particular search phrase as it took some time using AltaVista and Google to find it! Out of interest what search term did you use? I found it using Ian allan railway heritage awards 1993 Also will you be arrested if caught on the "pubically-accessible platform"? It's not Brighton Beach! I told my Big Boss in an e-mail that I had "pooped into Smith's" recently! Oops!  |

Great minds think alike Chris! If you, as I did, try every other single search term under the Sun you don't get the answer! For those interested the photo I referred to is on: www.railfaneurope.net/pix/new/08_aug03-gb2/pix.htmlHowever I have yet to see the Barons Court one! David H. |
