"Hardest Quiz Ever?" ... now there's a challenge.  All my own pictures.   All railway locations / nothing away from the railway. But I bet a few of these will keep you amused over Easter.   Once guess each at a time please, but no 24 hour rule - once I've confirmed somewhere (or other members have agreed with) please have another go.   Most members will be grateful for any help you can give them.   Probably even at a "which country" level!

Yes, indeed, a Taunton picture had to be featured here somewhere.  Roll Eyes

But, if I may go off at just a little bit of a tangent here - there's another railway station where a platform weighing machine is / could be a feature.  Where might this one be?

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.

Don't know where it is ... but how does it work? Do you put whatever it is on the scales then pick up the phone to be told the weight?

The one in my picture doesn't work - at present - but you may possibly note some similarities in its local design to the one which you featured.  Wink
