 Ten locations to guess.

Usual rule. One guess each for the first 24 hours.

1. Stafford - Worcester_Passenger


2. Southport - paul7755


3.


4. Birkdale - IndustryInsider


5. Earlestown - rogerw


6. Lakeside Miniature Railway, Southport - eight 48544


7.


8. Liverpool Lime Street - SandTEngineer


9. James St, Liverpool - Adelante_CCT


10.


Bonus questions:

11. Which one of these locations is now anachronistically named? Can you name similar locations? (I think there are three or four others)

12. Which one of these locations is one of only two of its type in the UK▸ (United Kingdom)?
Picture 5,  Earlestown,  is one of only two remaining triangular stations with all three sides still in use by passenger services. The other being Shipley. Answered by stuving
