I'll have 'a wild stab in the dark' guess at a location for number 21, too - in 23 hours time!  Wink

Oh, it's near enough!  Roll Eyes

I reckon I have a picture of the lower half of thetrout's traffic light:



21.  It's on Dorchester Street, outside Debenhams, between the bus station and Bath Spa railway stationGrin

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.

Yes the main question was the nearest station, but the name of the juction was the bonus.

Is 6 platform 13 at Bristol?

That's the flyingscotsmans guess so it doesn't count as two from me in 24. Just can't be bothered signing out and in again.

10 ) Westbury - Correct - ellendune

1 ) Sorry Electric Train - Not Colchester - Have another go!

11 ) Worting Junction - Near Basingstoke (Junction for Salisbury and Southampton Lines) - Devon Big Bird

12 ) Basingstoke - Correct - paul7755

18 ) Salisbury - Correct - Relex109

6 ) Platform 13 - Bristol Temple Meads -Correct Mookiemoo

21 ) Was a Trick Question... It is indeed Bath, But not Dorchester Street Sad That one is St James Parade at the Pedestrian Crossing outside Halifax Bank. So the nearest First Group Station would have been Bath Bus Station. That was a little sneaky wasn't it?!!

What about my guess at number 4. Missing weekly season/travelcard.

Plat 13 wasn't my guess. Credit should go to flyingscotsmans

Sorry Mookiemoo... I did the answers there on my iPhone and must have missed yours Sad Lips sealed so my apologies there!

You're right about the Weekly Season being Missing from there. So I'll award points for that answer, but it wasn't the answer I was looking for. But my picture does leave a couple of other tickets off the screen, so I'll list that as a duff photo. The a answer I was after was the lack of a First Off-Peak Day Return. There is a First Off Peak Return and a First Anytime Day Return but not a First Off-Peak Day Return... Weird eh??

2 Class 442, Southern / Gatwick Express (I was going to suggest it being something from Greater Anglia due to the red logo on the poster but spotted the BR (British Rail(ways)) era chevrons in the reflection in the window, as GA (Greater Anglia)'s Mk3's have ex Virgin moquette that ruled it out!)

Yes: it was. Lips sealed

I was in Bath again this morning, and you will all no doubt be delighted to learn that the rogue traffic cone has been removed from that traffic light.  Roll Eyes

I know quite a few of the places, so I'll take a stab at the TVM (Ticket Vending Machine) screen.

Those fares seem to resemble BRI» (Bristol Temple Meads - next trains) to BTH» (Bath Spa - next trains), or BTH or BRI.  As the machine is Scheidt & Bachmann, I'm guessing it is at Bath Spa.  Missing option is probably the First Anytime Return, which IIRC (if I recall/remember/read correctly) is about ^20.
