I headed off on an explore on Saturday, returning today. My pictures are rather large, so I'll link to them rather than post them here. Who can guess/tell were they were taken (I'll add descriptions as correct guesses come in, and might upload some more snaps when they are all done)? Picture 1 - Carlisle bignosemac (after I posted a second picture of the location as a clue)Picture 2 - Settle Worcester_Passenger, who went one better than me and identified the building in the background as Giggleswick school chapelPicture 3 - Class 395 - NRM» York (railfest) bignosemac / EBrownPicture 4 - Class 91 - NRM York (railfest) bignosemacPicture 5 - Llansteffan Castle from Ferryside grahame (he said Laugharne, which isn't quite correct but I decided to give him it anyway)Picture 6 - Stokesay Castle (near Craven Arms) Worcester_PassengerPicture 7 - I'm not sure if I remember this one myself nowPicture 8 - Taken from the Swansea avoiding Line behind Llandore depot OxmanNote: these aren't necessarily listed in the order taken. If some are easy and others hard, it might help to try and work out my route from the easy ones and hence deduce where the others might be. |

Don't DOO▸ it, keep the guard (but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea if the driver unlocked the doors on arrival at calling points).

Finding it hard to reconcile ECML▸ with West Wales. Ok, sounds like a very slight clue is in order. Picture 2 may look a bit like it was taken in my home country (Wales), but it wasn't. I traveled out of Wales on Saturday, and didn't go back into Wales until yesterday (5th June). In other words, I had three nights in hotels in England. |

Picture 3 is a Class 395 'Javelin' - Can you take more than one guess?

Concur that picture 3 is a Class 395 and I suspect it was taken in the same location as the Class 91 in picture 4.....
.... York.

Picture 3 is a Class 395 'Javelin' - Can you take more than one guess? Correct. That is only half the answer to that picture though, the other part is where was this particular 395 when I took the picture? Yes, you may take more guesses, but it might be a good idea to wait 24hrs when you make a correct guess to give others a chance (though since you only half-got this one, feel free to make another guess right away). |

Obviously helped that I was there this past Saturday! Really is nowhere else you can get that close to have the Class 91 spec plate at head height! I also took a similar picture of the 395 interior. |

It was obviously York; the CIS▸ isn't on and passengers don't tend to stand when they are actually moving! |

Hmm. Rhydgaled has mentioned elsewhere that we still haven't identified the locations of several of his pictures here, so I thought I'd have another try. But I still can't get any of the unsolved ones: would anyone else care to have a go?  |

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.

I'm in agreement with Oxman about Picture 8. Looks like it may have been taken from a train travelling on the west side of the Landore triangle.

Once again Worcester_Passenger beats me to it. We must know the same places.
