No. 4 is Edinburgh, at the end of York Place, where the trams stop and gaze wistfully down Leith Walk.

It is indeed the end of York Place. I'm not so sure about trams gazing wistfully though - source?  |

But in any case the depot is at Gogar (or Edinburgh Gateway, if you navigate by railway stations) and that's the only place the wist retention tanks can be emptied, so ... |

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.

Yes, I rather thought 5 was Taunton - but with my track record, that's not sufficient certainty for me to post that as my answer.  |
