Below are 10 pictures from around the network. A taster for an upcoming Christmas Bumper bignosemac Prize Picture Quiz.

So this one's just for fun and has the usual rule. One guess each please for the first 24 hours.

1. Didcot Parkway, answered by IndustryInsider


2. Fareham, answered by paul7755


3. Birmingham Snow Hill, answered by CLPGMS


4. Taunton, answered by grahame


5. Wokingham, answered by Oxman


6. Portsmouth & Southsea, answered by richwarwicker.


7. Swindon, answered by bobm


8. Bristol Temple Meads, answered by thetrout


9. Romsey, answered by brucey


10. Weston-super-Mare, answered by trainer.


Remember. To let everyone have a go, one guess each for the first 24 hours. Thanks.

Bonus point for the odd one out and a further bonus point for the best name for this friendly guy/gal waiting on the platform at one of the above locations. He/she stayed behind the yellow line but didn't appear to have a ticket. I was worried he/she might get a Penalty Fur.

4. Taunton

Can I have the bonus point for naming the person in picture 7 ... or is the bonus just for naming the cat?

I've got a feeling that number 1 is Didcot Parkway, not Newport.  The waiting room, customer help desk, WHSmith and toilet block at the top of the stairs on Platforms 2/3.  Taken a few years ago mind you.

I think you are right.  But my guess will be 4 - Taunton
