7. The eyesore that is the old Royal Mail sorting office at Bristol Temple Meads.  Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) 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.

7 Correct CfN - ParcelForce Depot at Bristol Temple Meads Smiley

5 Correct Ollie - Clapham Yard - Although you're wrong about where I took the picture. I wasn't on the platform, I was in a the DMCL of a Class 159 IIRC (if I recall/remember/read correctly).

I'm sorry Mookiemoo... But it's not a HST or a 235 (perhaps you meant 253?? but it's not one of those either) nor is it East Anglian.

9 ) Trowbridge.

I'm impressed good sir! 9 is indeed Trowbridge! I thought that one would lul people into a false sense of security and think it was single track! Smiley

6) - Reading
