3. Looks like the Battersea Rail Bridge on the West London Line

Sidenote - TonyN - huge "thank you" (and to eightonedee yesterday) for setting this advent quiz - great fun and a real pleasure to be able to take part for a change.  It's fun to set quizzes (hint to others) but funner if I can also take part occasionally.

One railway further up the river, I think - Fulham Bridge (at Putney Bridge, of course).

[Reading General]

5 Dukes cut lock on the Oxford Canal? Just south of Wolvercote Junction?

[Richard Fairhurst]

6 is just north of there, where the disused line linking the Cotswold Line to the Bicester line crosses the Oxford Canal.
