No way you're trapping us with the name, this isn't in Carlisle proper AFAIK...

That's a fairly standard thing here ACS...

And I believe it's Mytholmroyd!

It seems it's not even any station or halt near Carlisle.
I don't think it's Mytholmroyd because this station doesn't have any yellow line along the platform (if you see what i mean). Although taking a look at the train, it could be a station in Yorkshire, but i couldn't tell where...

Well that's a "Metro" red shelter in the background so that narrows in down.

Batley?

It isn't Batley, but it is Mytholmroyd so Pilot has the win...

FAO Redirect Left, I blocked out the number on the front but not the side because it was only when attempting to hide it on the side did I realise how difficult and messy that is on a touch-screen... as it was my own photo and isn't published anywhere online though, I needn't have bothered.

Woooo! Was there rather recently changing trains, so was fairly fresh in my head.

Let's try this one!

No to both.

They certainly look like decent trains, shame I wasn't around when they operated in the Manchester area.

Yes - they were classy units when I used them on the Cathcart Circle in the 1990s.

One sure thing, it's either on the North Clyde Line, either on the Cathcart Lines.

EDIT : Hold on... isn't that a bit trolling ? It looks a bit like Retford Low Level though...

The file names on pictures in this thread are intentionally misleading a lot of the time if you look back through the history - on this occasion I simply took the name of the station I was stopped at at the time of posting.

If anyone seriously thought this was Retford, I would be both shocked and amazed.
