I have already correctly guessed one but I think I can give a clue, I cannot guess the station but I have seen similar touch in points on the Severn Riviera line and at Weymouth and Upwey.

It's just the odd really easy one that I'm saying "give others a go" ... and I don't think this one is "really easy". In fact I don't think it's easy at all  Grin .

I would perhaps suggest that readers take a look at the buildings in the background - that look just almost as far from Weymouth as you're likely to get for a service that's enough to justify some sort of touch in / out system.  Martyjon has thrown a bit of a curved ball ...

Somewhere on the Manchester Trams?

No 6 reminds me of the Keadby slide bridge which takes the GC» (Great Central Railway - link to heritage line) line to Grimsby over the Stainforth and Keadby canal. Once got trapped for two hours on a Rail Tour in Scunthorpe yard because they couldn't get the rail locks in place after opening it for a boat.

If they were, those bicycle lockers would have rusted VERY quickly, wouldn't they?    I have already said where it is - you just need to find the words in the trees  Grin
