It's a while since we had a "where is this" quiz.

All these pictures are ones I have personally taken so far this year; all except one have a railway connection.

Please make just ONE guess each per 24 hours to give others a chance; if I tell you that you're incorrect, you can try again.  I may relax the 24 hour rule in a couple of days time if one or two of the pictures turn out to be harder than I expect (I expect most to be easy!)

I can't answer any of the locations, but the Routemaster, is a 1962 model, I captured a picture of in Salisbury in early January.

So I am going with 13 as a wild guess of Salisbury

The destination display then was showing Stonehenge, sack hill, imber and Gore Cross, which I am trying to work out if you've photoshopped out!

18. Blackpool.

I stayed in that hotel, ahead of the tram, during my brief employ with Butlins. They used to own it and I was there for a training course.

Yes, its is.   The locations aren't unique in this quiz - simply a scattering of pictures from my journeys since the start of the year.

To confirm - I DID (Didcot Parkway) photoshop out the destination board of the Routemaster at Imber as it said IMBER as the destination on there and that was just a bit too obvious!  Other pictures are just cropped / no other funny business.
