Sorry, 20 is neither Rochester or Birmingham International.

17 - for some reason I thought at first of Ryde Pier Head, but I think it's actually Ryde Esplanade.

You just beat me to that one, and with a similar thought process.   

I bet due to the green colour scheme people have been searching the 'Southern' TOC▸ (Train Operating Company) area without much success.

Which then makes me wonder if the red in picture 20 is also a bit misleading in terms of the responsible TOC...

17 is indeed Ryde Esplanade. I thought the colour scheme might confuse. I flew back to the mainland from near here...

Well done all who answered. You remain a knowledgeable bunch. Next time I'll have to make the obligatory Taunton picture much harder.
