Please just try one each at first.  Some are easy and some are uneasy!

Indeed .. and at 11 minutes, you were even faster than the 12 minutes for BigNoseMac's recent quick quiz!

Concur, number 4 is definitely on Portland, it's known as the 'Merchant's Railway' but not actually a railway as we'd know it, it was a 'gravity and rope operated' industrial incline...

Correct on both 1 and 4 ... Cheltenham Spa, and a rope incline on Portland.  Now - 2, 3 and 5 to go.

Yep, No. 2 is Temple Meads.

I'm not surprised that 3 and 5 are the last ones left.  Views from the window - one 'in area' and one not!
