16 is, indeed, Melksham.

4 ... is just a few miles out - not the Eithad Campus though.  And a few miles isn't a huge distance when you look at public transport.   Similar comment to "on the right lines" which I said earlier for the other outstanding picture - no. 6 - which is not Earls Court.  (Why does everyone choose places with the initials EC to guess?)

Still to be guessed ...

04

06

... and a question about this one.

Why does the sign to the Kennet and Avon Canal on the Bath bound side of the station - the same side as the canal, and with an exit that will take you to the canal in an easy walk - send you over the footbridge?   From there, you walk up the station approach, double back at the roundabout, go over the railway bridge on the road and .. rejoin the direct route off the Bath bound platform  Undecided

I reckon 6 might be Barons Court.

And the answer is ..... Aldgate East!
