A bit of a quizzy weekend what with thetrout's traditional picture quiz (do have a go at the ones that are left) and, available to Frequent Posters, grahame's 'Out of order' picture quiz.

My turn to add to the fray, but with something a little different. The following picture sets are semi-cryptic sequence clues to station names. Eight of them are stations in FGW (First Great Western) land and the remainder are from all over the UK (United Kingdom).

Just for fun, but... as always, to let everyone have a go, please just one guess each for the first 24 hours... Informed of an incorrect guess then you can have another go.

So, can you guess the station name from the picture sequences?

1. Runcorn East, answered by Brucey

4. Coatbridge Sunnyside, stuving


5. Ealing Broadway, grahame

7. British Steel Redcar, grahame


8. Ashchurch for Tewkesbury, stuving

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Aha! 4 must be the oxymoronically named Coatbridge Sunnyside.
