Is picture number 3 the sensory garden at Swindon, by any chance?  Tongue Roll Eyes Grin
Logged

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) 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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

 Grin Grin

Oh - please don't, Chris.  For this month at least, that project is one thing too many to actively work through;  far more important to ensure that we have both short term publicity and longer term aspiration inputs together.   No, not Swindon!

Yes indeed, No. 3 is at Taunton ... that's not a siding that I would expect to see a 153 parked in, and so I'm not surprised this was the last one to be identified.

Drats, I knew that was Taunton but wasn't 100% sure so went for the easier Westbury picture. It wouldn't have been one of Graham's 'where was this taken' without a picture of Taunton!
