Regulars will remember the sequences I posted in a picture quiz earlier this year, along with more normal, 'guess the station' pictures. This time it's 20 semi-cryptic sequences to guess. All are stations on the national network in Great Britain.

Please. Just one guess each for the first 24 hours. If you are informed of an incorrect guess then you can have another go.

How quick can the forum's membership get all 20?
