Good attempt - and headed the right way.   Not quite long enough shot!

I know it isn't (partly because there's a station sign in Arriva Trains Wales colours, and partly because who would go there on their holidays) but the ramp in 1 is ever so like Perry Barr in the West Midlands.

The modern(er) railway seems to be characterised by long and stark ramps.

Holds hand up in admission.   Been on holiday to the Birmingham Canal Navigations - including canals up to the Walsall area.

Not sure how to answer that, or how "ish" would be defined.   The train I caught after taking the photo at that station was destined for Inverness.

We did the BCN Challenge a couple of years ago including the Perry Barr Flight. The Tame Valley is actually a surprisingly beautiful canal, but possibly the least boated on the BCN, and that's saying something!

(But basset44 has definitely got it - slightly annoyed I didn't spot that myself as I've passed through Ludlow a hundred times...)

It easy - leaving just No. 3.   

Although 24 hours not yet up ... open field, would anyone care to say (or guess) where that final picture is?

Knowing Grahame has recently visited Scotland and his tribulations when his train from Wick was cancelled I wonder if No 3 is that, Wick. I cant remember Wick station itself apart from its overall roof, the loco release and run-round loop and the overgrown sidings on the south side of the station. One station on that line which I can definitely say its not is Dunrobin Castle as the photo shows the station depicted to have, or maybe had, a power supply.

It isn't Wick (I have pictures of Wick but not with me - currently at Yeovil Pen Mill) but you're not terribly far off.
