Oh, and number 11. Do we have to name the location, or the person featured?

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.

After my understandable confusion between Thurso and Wick - how about number 13 also being Georgemas Junction looking in the opposite direction to the view in 10?

No inside information is present.  And it is my understanding the flying scotsman wants the location not the random person caught in it

3 looks to me a lot like one of the stations on the line between Guildford and Reading, although I can't off the top of my head remember which one. I'll take a punt at Farnborough North but I have feeling that's not correct.
