2.  Taunton.  Embarrassed
Logged
William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) 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.

2. is indeed Taunton, and 7. is Weymouth ... but 4, sorry, isn't Torquay.   I think that one's possibly quite hard because of the Photoshop attack on the original picture!

It is indeed - "Little Bedwyn" I think - and the train stops in Great Bedwyn.   Actually it's all relative; Great Bedwyn isn't all that large.

Yes, 4 is Kemble and 10 is Bradford-on-Avon.

That leaves 1, 5,  9 and 11 to go.
