Can you tell me where each of these eight pictures was taken.   And what they have in common (there are several right answers I have thought of, and several more you'll probably come up with)

Please just place one picture at first ... I'm sure they will all go quickly

1. Melksham - Chris from Nailsea


2. Trowbridge - RA


3. Chippenham - Trainer


4. Bristol Temple Meads - Western Pathfinder


5. Exeter St David's - AMLAG


6. Newton Abbott - Western Pathfinder


7. Taunton - PhilWakley


8. Pewsey - Bradshaw

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.

No4 Bristol Temple Meads.

Yes - on Wednesday, with some of the kit so new it still had the bubble wrap on it!

Just No. 2 to go, entitled

"How many men in Hi Vis does it take to dig a hole?" or "Why is railway engineering so expensive".

Ooh, that's one of those new mutant mushrooms - they evolved to pop up next to the new clip-on axle counters. It's called EAK30K, if you're looking for some in your local deli.
