1 is Warmley station on the Bristol to Bath Railway Path! I can't remember the name of the artwork but there's a nice tea shop there on the platform now Smiley

I walked that entire route from Bristol to Bath recently!

Around 5 hours, but I didn't hurry! It's well worth it as there are wonderful views of Bristol and its suburbs, and the Avon countryside.

I started from Temple Meads, the path is well signed from the station.

1 and 4 correctly identified.  Any thoughts on numbers 2 and 3, both of which are "in terrritory" but not maintained by Network Rail, nor operated by First ...

Sorry, grahame, but I'm struggling here!

2. Bristol Docks line, at Hotwells?

3. Leigh Woods miniature railway?

Sorry if I'm wrong - I just remember kicking myself for not claiming 'East Somerset at Cranmore' in another of your brain teasers, when I was 'fairly sure' that was the answer!

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.

Right on both counts.  The Bristol Docks station is called "Butterfly Juntion Halt" according to the nearby notice board ... and the minuature railway - I'll take your word that it's called "Leigh Woods" is in the grounds of Ashton Court just over the road from the real Leigh Woods (I had to google that!)

I try not to make these too easy. Mind, I have a feeling that if I were to put up a picture of a mainstream railway in Timbuktu, Lee would get it  Wink

Blimey!  Thanks, grahame - that's my credibility as being 'not a spotter' (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=2443.msg18367#msg18367) completely shot away!

I do agree, though, Lee's knowledge is very impressive!
