Nearly all taken in FGW land with the odd curve-ball. Usual rule - one guess each for the first 24 hours. Thanks.

More to follow.......

1.  Exeter St Davids.  :-[

6. Taken on one of the FGW loco-hauled sets (that's an ex-Anglia safety poster, so it would be the teal/white set). Somewhere between Cardiff and Taunton or Paignton...?!

Reckon I can do 2, 4 and 5 as well, but will refrain from being a sm*rt*rse just for the moment...

Well, that's fair enough: I can fill in with 3, if necessary!  ;) :D ;D

1. Correctly answered by Chris from Nailsea
6. Good enough answer by inspector_blakey. Taken aboard the 1247 PGN-CDF somewhere near Tiverton I think.

4 looks like Didcot Parkway

5. Cribbs Causeway/The Mall

4. Sorry d_m, not Didcot Parkway, but sort of close!
5. Correct ReWind. Cribbs Causeway Bus Station (That was the curve-ball!)

4is the new South side platform at Swindon?

4. Sorry Tim, not Swindon either.

Cholsey?

Certainly the same design of waiting rooms and I did think that the station buildings visible on the island didn't look very Didcot like!


3 looks slightly like Patchway to me and is on the route of the loco hauled set (since I can see the Mk2 light style reflected in the window  :D)

See I drive to cribbs - why would I notice the bus station

I park in the parking bit by wh smith on the back side where you use the stairs to enter the mall itself

3.  Yatton.  ;)

Clearly I spend too much time playing i phone games as I was at yatton this morning but cannot even begin to place that picture - if its correct

It's the road bridge over the tracks at Yatton - used to get to the opposite platform, avoiding the steps on the footbridge, by those with particularly heavy luggage...  ;) :D ;D

See, I'm not as clever as I thought I was... Was going to guess Bris Park and Ride  :-[

3. Yatton, correctly guessed by Chris from Nailsea, although I should dock a point for a second go within 24 hours!  ::) ;D

4. Sorry d_m, not Cholsey either!

So, numbers 2 and 4 still open and as CfN has jumped the gun, now open to multiple guesses.  ;D

Ehh?  :o

'scuse me, but devon_metro had had two goes at 4, and one at 3, before I posted my second answer!   ::)

Ah.... fair point. My interpretation of the rule was 1 correct guess each. d_m obviously gave up on guessing No. 4!!

I'm happy to return your point to you CfN.  :D

 ;D

Is 4 Bristol Parkway

I reckon so too. And 2 is Clifton Down...

Well, while I knew that 3 is Yatton, I was then going to guess that 4 is Bristol Parkway, to be fair.  ;)

2. Clifton Down, correct by inspector_blakely.
4. Bristol Parkway, correct by ReWind.

If I may offer this (just to help Mookiemoo recognise it, on her return journey!), there's an excellent picture, showing both the footbridge and the road bridge at Yatton, at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/YattonStation.jpg  ;) :D ;D

Next batch.....

11 Taunton  ;)

You cheeky monkey!  ;) :D ;D

12.  Dawlish.

11. T**nt*n ;D, correct by devon_metro. Weighbridge on platform 2 (still in working order!) In full:

(http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/bignosemac/Quiz%20Pics%2009-09-2010/10a.jpg)

12. Dawlish, correct by Chris from Nailsea. Unsure whether it is the rust or rivets that is holding up the footbridge!

I know where 8 and 9 were taken...! ;)

But I'm going to guess 7 which I am so sure on...! Is 7 Shrewsbury?!

7. Shrewsbury, correct by thetrout. Another curve-ball!!

8. Bridgwater

8. Bridgwater, correct by ReWind.

9 & 10 remain.....

I think I really should know the answer to 10 - but I just don't.  ::)

I got an Ill feeling that 9 is Chris from Nailsea's favorite spot Taunton.  :D

And 10 is the Police station ;D

Sorry Smokey. Wrong and sort of wrong! 9 isn't T**nt*n, and whilst 10 is outside a Police Station I was looking for an answer that was a little more specific re: the location of the blue lamp. Clues?

9. Postbox next to a gateline.

10. Blue lamp above a BTP Police Station on a station!

9 could be Temple Meads - there's a post box just inside the gateline in a red-brick wall on platform 3 at least.

Scratch that, Temple Meads looks much tidier and doesn't have the fence on the left!

Suggest you un-scratch, blakey! That's not a fence, it's a row of cabling. I'll give you half a point for being correct initially, before you scratched your answer.

10.  I've gone away and considered it, and I now think it's Exeter St Davids.  :P :-[ :-X
