I know which plusbus map that is on the back ground. Now to take a guess at which of the stations in the zone it may be....

Paignton?

No, I considered, but then discounted, Paignton too: the ticket office there looks like this - http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/HotspotDetails.aspx?stdCode=SME_PGN&fullsize=14690  Roll Eyes

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.

The plusbus zone covers 4 stations (I think). I'm not sure why I said Paignton, I have photos taken at Paignton recently and clearly isn't!

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

Nope - the station frontage is as at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDoO7FEcXhk and not a Christmas tree in site!

Agreed - my own research suggested that, too.  Wink Cheesy Grin

Incidentally, that clock seems to have been moved lower down on the wall, so it's now just above that mirror window on the back wall: see http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/HotspotDetails.aspx?stdCode=SME_NTA&fullsize=14482

I'm not sure why I said Paignton ... 

In future, I'm just going to say 'Taunton' - simply on the balance of probabilities that I'll inadvertently be right sometimes.  Roll Eyes Shocked Embarrassed
