Not quite, I'm afraid - I thought my green hint was capital and very European ... and very much in area for a GWR (Great Western Railway) forum - but perhaps it was a bit 'last year'.

Well, Bristol then, if you say so.

11 Trowbridge.

No 8 - Taunton

11 Trowbridge, Stallard Street bridge in background, and 12 Bristol Temple Meads by platform 3/4

Yep, all correct (that extra detail too ... I suppose it's technically platforms 2 and 4 at Temple Meads!)

Just 3 left to identify - no.s 1, 3 and 7.   "Open house" for anyone who's identified one of the others already -even though it's not qute 24 hours yet.

One of these pictures was actually taken within the last 24 hours (even now ...)

Sorry Chris - there's no clue in the question number ... as I recall this place could be called "No Bridges".

Appreciate the try ... but way out, I'm afraid.  Best I can offer is "right country" ...

YES - that's correct .. I expected that to be the very last one to be identified.  Wow!

1. Weston Milton?

I have a nagging doubt that I really ought to know the answer.  Embarrassed

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.

The two remaining ones are darned hard ... I probably shouldn't have included them.   Sorry - not Weston Milton.

No. 1 isn't a frequent stop for trains in those colours - they're very much the interloper there and I'll admit to being rather surprised when I found a First train for the short journey I took on it, having just travelled quite some way to the place I connected on a different TOC (Train Operating Company).

No. 3 ... you've probably already scratched your heads with the "no bridges" clue I gave, and yet it's a double track line.

Both pictures at the outer end of trips I took - one to give an IT course, and the other to attend a transport event.

No problem, grahame.  Wink

I've looked at that picture several times, in the past few days, and while it does have some elements of Weston Milton about it (raised concrete platform, lamp posts, etc.), I was never completely convinced.  Roll Eyes
