13. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. EBrown, you've discounted the correct answer. Why could it not possibly be AFK▸ ('away from keyboard') Ashford (International)? I can assure you it is. It was only two days ago that I took the picture. I'm feeling charitable as you've made a bit of a chump of yourself - go on have a guess at another one (or retire hurt to the pavillion) Grin
Well, the reason I went with not AFK was:
I looked at the breeze block wall and (incorrectly) saw it as ugly concrete that I associate with SFA and EBD.


It's very disappointing given I travel the (AFK-STP part of the) HS1▸ (High Speed line 1 - St Pancras to Channel Tunnel) line every week.

It's also been a pretty big week for getting things wrong, for that reason, I'm Retired, Out! Smiley

14 is on the Northern line, I think ... but I can't give the exact station.  Prior to a rebuild, Angel had a narrow platform with tracks on both sides and was one of my least favourite places;  I felt nervous when tubes ran in both sides at the same time.  Didn't realise there were any of these left - or is it a historic picture?

6. Correct. East Croydon. westerleigh.

14. It's a current picture taken a few weeks ago. One of two remaining deep level tube locations where a narrow island platform remains.

I, too, felt a little wary using the platform.

Picture 11 has an air of cosy familiarity about it - not just the station, but also the rather dodgy character helping a random lone mother with a babe in arms and a cumbersome pushchair up onto the train.  Roll Eyes

11. Nailsea & Backwell.  Tongue

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) 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.
