What a wonderful selection ... makes me realise how little I know the UK▸ (United Kingdom) rail network.   I probably wouldn't have got any if No. 3 hadn't clearly stated "Dorchester South" on it ... although my memories there are of reversal into a bay.

That was the only one I had a clue about! Haven't a clue about the rest.

I think that number 2 is Duddeston on the Birmingham to Lichfield/Walsall lines.  In my day, it was called Vauxhall and Duddeston and looked completely different.

Hi,

Is 22 Llandudno ?

Basset

Almost certainly. I posted an almost identical picture in a quiz back in February 2012. I thought initially that flyingscotsman had got hold of my picture - but on checking I see that mine was from a slightly different angle!

Updates done as at 2130!

Looks like a few more have gone than I thought.

I can assure Bignosemac it wasnt the same picture - the girlfriend was lurking in the back ground before she got her hands on it and cropped herself out
