I have a suspicion that I know where No.6 is… if I’m right, I am the only person other than grahame who is at all likely to get it!

It's in a Wetherspoon's.  Wink

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.

I'm going to suggest, somewhat cautiously, that 11 is the pedestrian access at Bedminster and 25 is the concourse at Bristol Temple Meads.  Smiley

Actually I realise that I completely failed to spot the very clear clue grahame provided for this one…

15. is Bedminster, looking towards Temple Meads, and

20. is the Bristol-bound platform at Keynsham.

I'm still struggling to see that 15 is Bedminster - but you may well be right: I just don't recognise it as such.  Roll Eyes

Ah, now 18 is fiendish - it’s not a railway signal! It’s at Redcliffe Bascule Bridge, and is/was presumably used in connection with the opening and closing of the bridge.
