1: Denham Golf Club
Now there's a station I've never been to! Sorry - it isn't, not to say that there isn't a similar sign there! |

You mean that the second train is timed before the first, and both are on time? I've seen odder things than that on platform CISs▸ .
That's what I noticed ... it seemed that time travel had reached Gloucestershire, and I wondered if it related to the trains being in a different order when they passed through Standish Junction. At 9:16, neither train had reached Standish - but both were past Westerleigh, and of course running in reverse order as only the GW▸ service is going to rub noses with Gloucester. But surely the CIS doesn't just react dumbly to that earlier section of same-track running? I imagine that the times predicted are based on timetable plus notified delay upstream, which allows for different travel times. For trains that share a platform the CIS needs to know something about what signalling is going to do when they merge (or could overtake). In the absence of route-setting that comes down to what the signaller is minded to do, so maybe it needs some kind of feed in from the signalling/ers. Where trains are delayed, and in effect jockeying for position, you do see the CIS flip between orders (and I remember seeing that at Amersfoort too). I think the switching must be slugged, to prevent the display changing too fast. So perhaps this one was reacting to a misleading input in the past? |

Yes, it is. With the Filton area closed for a weekend, CrossCountry services were diverted via Swindon - that's the "Edinburgh" train on the display. I was headed north and caught that train, which provided a superb demonstration of the sort of thing that's possible from this huge town (near-City) to The Midlands and North. Normally, its a slow old slog ... |

5. Taunton.  The pigeons have the right idea for what should be done over Taunton  Worse in Bridgwater. The pigeons fly upside down there. It isn't worth s******g on. |

Sorry - already identified by John R as Swindon but I hadn't got back to editing the original post to put that answer in! |

Nobody has even guessed it yet, but number 7 is the one that really intrigues me ... |

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

No, but not hugely distant from the place ... Huddersfield then? Correct! The Friends of Huddersfield Station had a magnificent welcome point to the town ... looking at our talk elsewhere over the last day or two, Truro and Swindon might look to them as an example.  |
