Six photographs - can you identify where they were taken? 1 guess each in the first 24 hours and I expect they'll all be correctly identified long before that time is up! 1. Weston-super-mare, identified by Four Track, Now!  2. Swindon, identified by Chris from Nailsea  3. Cowley Branch Junction, Hinksey near Oxford, identified by Oxman  4.  5.  6. Sheffield, identified by Brooklea  |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.

I, too, was going to start with 1 as being Weston super Mare - but it was really rather too easy, looking at the bottom right hand corner of that picture ...    |

I didn't notice that until you pointed it out, Chris, and it's a daft name for a boat IMHO▸ . I was just excited to be first for the first time since I became FT, N! |

Yes - correct. I expected that one to be one of the latter ones to go - you are well travelled, Brooklea! |

Correct. When I was up in Oxford last week, I was learning that substantial development in and around Cowley has given rise to the thought of using this line for public transport provision from Cowley. Idle chatter at " GRIP▸ minus two", or something more? |

As we're now outside the 'one guess only in the first 24 hours, please' restriction, may I now suggest that picture 4 is at Chippenham Station, looking across from platform 1 to the disused platform?  |
