Number 7 looks rather like Westbury, looking from platform 2 towards platform 1.

7. Salisbury?

Sorry, but it's not Salisbury. Sad

Ah, b*gg*r. In that case, I'll second BandHcommuter's guess.

Will 'Spain?' do for #4? Tongue

4. Madrid, Chamartin.

I sense cheating... But i'm afraid you are wrong Sad

Cheating?? A scandalous suggestion! Shocked

No: I simply remembered you telling us all about your adventures on Spanish railways, between Lorca and Madrid, at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=9835.msg102738#msg102738 Grin

William Huskisson MP^▸ 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.

Shouldn't number 2 also be attributed to Brucey, as I managed to guess the location before you even posted the quiz Grin

Well yes... It is Spain, Some Spanish Trains do go to France; So you are correct in saying that this picture is in Spain. But this type of train AFAIK^▸ doesn't go to France, They are however used on EuroMed services as far as Barcelona. As a hint I will say that "if" this train was running a EuroMed service from Barcelona, It would probably stop here

So i'll award half a point for now Grin

I suspect you're going to go off and investigate the Spanish timetable now... Tongue

Well you didn't see me take that photograph... Number 8 on the otherhand, you were stood right next to me... I feel we're about to have another infamous "ChrisfromNailsea" Station...............

Hmmm, pictures seem to work for me, but then i'm connected to it from it's service line... So I'll double check on my iPhone when I leave shortly

Sorry, no it's not Sad

Out of interest, what made you suggest Truro jester? From memory number 8 looks nothing like Truro, But it is 12 months since I was last there so it "could" have changed alot since then

Here is a clue For number 8 the station has 2 platforms one of which is bi directional, the other is only used a few times a day and is currently only used in the up direction.... There is a siding at this station which can't be accessed from the main line
