Ain't photoshopped FA, as far as I can see. Looks like Westbury to me....

Looked like Sunbury to me - but then I've never been by train there - but I have been there - never been to Westbury at all hence I assumed sunbury

so if aint photoshopped how is the most meaningfull clue so blurred

(note - I put my nice expensive camera onto auto to shoot everything - I'm crap at photography)

For me, glasses on or glasses off it looks like a 'W' at the start of the station name sign. And being used to Westbury station I'm 99.9% certain that's the location. Just for reference, a 'Sunbury' station sign would have a red and gold 'SWT' flash on the left hand side and not a FGW purple lower quadrant. I know....... anal ;D

Shoulda gone to SpecSavers!  ;)

I'm just a too familiar commuter / worked out trains are best way to get study done person rather than someone who notices signe on platforms

although - I was at crewe tonight at 2100 wondering why SWT were there - then I realised it was EMT

By the way ... I'm rather surprised that the piece of apparently unattended luggage featured in A wasn't "removed or destroyed by the security services" ...

There are lots of them at Melksham Station. ::) ;D

I'm on my iPhone at moment and zooming in function makes the sign name easily read as westbury!

Do I win a prize? If any of them are correct that is!

A. Melksham
B. Salisbury
C. Berth 1 Portsmouth CFP (Ship Norman Arrow)
D. Paris St. Lazaire Concourse - A GUESS!
E. Cosham
F. Le Havre
G. Paris St. Lazaire
H. Westbury

So it would be A, H, B, E, C, F, G, D

Order is correct, Ollie ... and 7 of the 8 locations.   And you admitted that (D) was a guess  ;)

Btline - very close but don't think I didn't notice one of the letters left out.  And to confirm - the only use of photoshop was to reduce size / crop / sharpen.   No funny stuff with signs to turn one name into another. If it's blurred, blame the photographer and the low res I posted at.

I've just arrived near to "final destination"  where I'm working tomorrow.   Been on the road rail for much of today.   Where am I?

P.S. Luggage - mine.  I hauled that ruddy thing all the way and now have a sore back ... 20 Perl programming books, 2 laptop computers, shirts, and other things ...

Dunno what the tower's called ... just going out to have a look now that I've checked my email and found my exact destination for tomorrow.

Actually I hadn't realised missing a letter out! ;D :-\

But I forgot to "come back" to the UK it seems!
