11 looks very much like it was taken at Clapham Junction to me. Is that 458 arriving at/departing from Clapham Yard?

What he said.  Grin

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) 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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

4-Redhill? Can't think of anywhere else where a Southern 377 and FGW (First Great Western) 16x would meet other than Reigate which doesn't have an island platform, perhaps very occasionally at Guildford. That looks rather like the island at Redhill as well. The sign outside Redhill when I was last there was rather interesting, it listed Southeastern and FGW Link as TOCs (Train Operating Company) serving the station. Southeastern don't service Redhill anymore and FGW Link are long gone.

You don't need to... It's Redhill Wink

*edit* I took that picture from inside a Class 377 which I boarded from one of the very stations that SE used to serve before the route was handed to Southern Wink

2. Farringdon.  (Thameslink side.)

View of the southward extension towards the Snow Hill end.  The brickwork section shown is below the original underground station building, they weren't allowed to open it out for some reason so each platform has a massive brick bridge pier at about the 4 car point of a 12 car train, leaving a pretty narrow platform with this 'passageway' behind it.

Correct. Farringdon. Assuming we're talking about the Snow Hill in Birmingham then wrong direction Wink everything else you've said is about right though Wink On the right side of the passageway there is indeed a rather narrow platform

12. Harrow and Wealdstone

The fences on the fast line platforms weren't there on my last visit.

Correct - Harrow & Wealdstone

10) is Taunton

No Sorry. Feel free to have another go Wink
