I didn't buy any eggs the thought of trying to carry them on a full and standing 170 from New street to Worcester in the evening rush hour put me off. Grin

Plum festival is at Pershore, so that must be 11.
The only time I went there I couldn't find a single plum to buy.

From the clue rather than the picture ... I'm suspecting that No. 8 may be on the line from Cheltenham Spa to the Midlands that's now the Gloucestershire and Warwick Railway.
