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

Sorry, already answered correctly by grahame.

Correct.

I know a few of those... And there is something rather suspicious about the person in #7 Wink

I'm going to go for the one I'm not so ure on... No. 2: Bromley South

Sorry, no. Already answered correctly by paul7755.

Bonus Point for No. 2 If it IS Bromley South...

Only picture taken in the South East / Only Station served by Southeastern

Sorry, no because it ain't Bromley South.  Wink

Yes perhaps I should've listed the correct and incorrect answers in one post rather than quoted each one. Just being lazy.  Roll Eyes

By my reckoning, pictures 8 & 9 have yet to be answered. 8 has been hinted at by those who've already had a go. 9 in the dark may be a bit of a tough one. It won't help, but the cat was snapped at the location of 9.

Bonus points still await for the best name for the cat and for the odd one out of the 10 locations.

As for the bloke in number 7, well that's this forum's owner, the man who started it all, grahame.

Go on then, seeing as thus far you've only given incorrect answers.  Tongue
