Would anyone be brave enough to take a guess at ALL of these ... then others chip in and agree or disagree? Bit of an experiment ... unless it gets silly I'll jump in tomorrow some time ... with confirmations if you're pretty sure between you by then 1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  7.  8.  9.  10.  |

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.

Hmmmmmm ... On second thoughts, I can name two - and one of them is Taunton.    |

That's exactly why I had second thoughts. |

I'll take a guess that 8 is Osnabrück Hbf - the upper station; is that the Haupthauptbahnhof?
(And, at the risk of being thought pedantic, 9 is Hoek Van Holland Haven.)

Huge thank you to bignosemac for starting us off with a superb set of good answers ... and admiration for everyone else's knowledge. Almost everywhere has been correctly identified already ...

I think Liverpool Street And I'd vote that it is Victoria. The one that looks unconvincing to me is no. 65 - there's no plain 4-track line near Cambridge. Without a guide to OLE▸ varieties (did Ian Allan ever produce one?) I'd say it was WCML▸ . So, where in those parts (and there's lots of them) has Graham been that we know of? |

I'd add my vote for 7 being Victoria.
Osnabruck HBf is both high and low level. In the sixties the through trains from Hook of Holland to used to take the link from the low level to high and swap locos for an 01 10 pacific for the run to Hamburg. Real steam action and on a free pass!
For 9 WCML▸ around Milton Keynes. Although agree could be GEML▸ but seems to countrified,
