Title: Re: Spot the location Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 15, 2015, 19:52:39 On the basis that any of the others could well be Taunton, based on my own track record with these quizzes, I'll go for the easy one:
7. Melksham. ;) Title: Re: Spot the location Post by: grahame on November 15, 2015, 19:56:01 On the basis that any of the others could well be Taunton, based on my own track record with these quizzes, I'll go for the easy one: 7.

Title: Re: Spot the location Post by: Red Squirrel on November 15, 2015, 21:47:49 Irony alert: Is No 5 Melksham?
Title: Re: Spot the location Post by: bobm on November 15, 2015, 22:59:37 11 Bristol Temple Meads?
Title: Re: Spot the location Post by: paul7575 on November 16, 2015, 00:15:42 8. Kings Cross
Pretty sure it's Platform 0 - the one opened a few years ago under the east side offices? Paul Title: Re: Spot the location Post by: grahame on November 16, 2015, 06:34:58 All correct to far, and I have put them all into the original post. Knowledge here never ceases to amaze me. And, yes, the "subtexts" of Platform 0 and Jersey Sidings also right!
Irony alert: Is No 5 Melksham? Irony noted! And yet a platform that's empty may mislead - the train could be full. An old blog I did in "Save the Train" days contrasted two pictures - one with a platform and apparently no-one around, and the other on a train with most seat taken; pictures taken a minute or so apart.
