Two station Christmas trees bookending my journey today. I suspect the locations will be easily guessed, but I'm posting in celebration of my first train travel in over 3 weeks. Unheard of for me. I've been suffering severe ferroequinological withdrawal symptoms.

Second guess is correct. Teignmouth was my destination.

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.

I will admit that I was trying to work out where that was within the Taunton railway complex ...

For some reason I do really like those doors though, there's something classic about them with the parallel handles.

I noticed a plusbus poster in one of BNM's photos; yesterday I notched up 8 journeys on a railcard discounted Southampton+Bus. That's less than 20p per trip!

Yes, that's Melksham - but not the railway station frontage, obviously.  Wink Cheesy Grin
