b Edinburgh Park

Both correct.

"Edinburgh PARK" is an interesting name - I suspect it's Edinburgh Business Park.   Certainly not somewhere people switch from car to train, nor the site of a big green recreational area!

With reference to the Fish dock at Temple Meads (which in nearly 50 years of using, I had never heard of) I notice on the right hand platform, one of those one piece  perforated seats, so beloved of Network South East in the past. I wondered if it was a plaice for tired soles.

6 Westbury Platform 2 

Yes indeed ... the Plymouth train has just rolled in and stopped, no doubt to the intense irritation of sardines from London who are desperate to get to Devon just as fast as they can to get untinned .. and it's stopped just to pick up a couple of local ...

Oh - hang on a minute; there's a significant number of people getting off this train and a veritable flood getting on, and there does appear to be plenty of space on the train for those joining ... perhaps stopping London to Plymouth expresses at Westbury has some merit 

1. Southampton Central

Yes Indeed.  I wondered who would get that one ... had to smile and be totally unsurprised when I saw the name of one of previous quiz prizewinners pop up.  Well done, sir!

I believe those benches are called The Brian Milne bench.

From The Telegraph

The Brian Milne Bench for instance, turned out to be a bench designed by Mr Milne, specifically created for Milton Keynes and now used all over the world. These models were bright steel, slotted like kitchen spoons: Charlie was delighted to find that the original round holes had to be changed because people got their fingers stuck.

And here's a close up of the design from architecture.com

Wow, the things you find out on this forum. A shame in wasn't designed by A A Milne. Many a time have I rested on one of those in the stage of a journey and can  vouch for the fact that the wind can certainly be felt in the willows !

Or even Kenneth Grahame. Unless you were thinking the holes were good for a "winnie".... ?

Based on the evidence in the picture, 2 must be Edinburgh (Waverley).

Indeed it is - and I cropped that picture quite close to avoid there being too many clues!
