We have quizzes that show trains and station facilities ... but here are pictures of people, and the railways are all about carrying people from A to B where A != B. Where did I photograph these groups of people? 1.  2.  3.  4.  Just one each, please! |

2. Inordinate quantities of people - it has to be Paddington.  |

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.

4 is Bradford-on-Avon - yes
3 is NOT Swindon
2 is (previously correctly identified) as Paddingon
1 ... oh dear. I had it marked up as the next station along from Waterloo, but you could be right. Can I ask the audience please. I've taken 50 / 50, so the choice is between Waterloo and London Bridge ...

No. 3 is indeed Westbury ... and that's now 2:1 for London Bridge for No. 1

1 is definitely not Waterloo. It does looks quite a lot like London Bridge.

I was working right beside London Bridge Station and went in there a couple of time ... walked up to Waterloo and got the train home from there, so it could have been either. That's where I went "yikes" when Waterloo came up. Thanks for the clarifications |

Thanks for the clarifications Graham, in your original photo's property's it will have a date and time stamp, as long as your camera is set right will this narrow down where you were at the time it was taken? |
