A Christmas message ...  I think people are enjoying the pictures judging by the number of "like"s even on Christmas morning. It's open house for anyone who would care to translate the message and explain it  |

It's open house for anyone who would care to translate the message and explain it I'm guessing that the first letter of each station shown spells HAPPY CHRISTMAS. This is based entirely on the number of letters and the fact that Stoke-on-Trent - which is the only one I can get - is in the correct place. Happy Christmas anyway! |

Oh, Taunton is there to support that theory. Surprisingly, the following one isn't Melksham  |

Of course, it could be Merry Christmas instead. |

In that case, would the last one be (Aloha!) Severn Beach?

The first one is Holyhead (was in a quiz June 2018!).

Last picture does look like Melksham. Do not think it is, has twin lighting brackets. Probably is severn beach but was not like it when I last was there in 1988. |

Really? Looks like Abergynolwyn to me Is the M Melksham.
I don't think so. the triangle end of the platform is quite distinctive and unless that has been a major earthquake since I last went to Melksham I there were no hill slike that! |

These are the ones that have been correctly identified. One or two others I almost gave you ... and some very interesting spellings in a couple of places. But overall very impressive ... four to go ... none easy and one (I suspect) exceedingly hard!
H - Holyhead
A -
P -
P - Pilning
Y - Yeovil Pen Mill
C -
H -
R - Rhyl
I - Inverness
S - Stoke-on-Trent
T - Taunton
M - Morfa Mawddach
A - Abergynolwyn
S - Severn Beach
