Out and about - first week in March, 2022

[whole diary]

[grahame]

I was out and about last week - a Wednesday trip to Salisbury (2 buses and 2 trains) to meet with a rail contact there, and Saturday to the Severnside Area to meet up with friends from FoSBR^» (Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways - site) and Railfuture (2 buses and 8 trains). And out to a show on Saturday evening. But I dropped my photographs.  Can you help me identify which one I took where ... (one each, please, at first - bit of a quiz and let's give everyone a chance)

6 Spa Road, Melksham

[eightonedee]

9 is Melksham again - the station from the Bath Road bridge over the railway

[grahame]

Melksham and Taunton somewhere there 

Yes and no.

[eXPassenger]

4 is Bedminster with Windmill Hill.

[Red Squirrel]

I think No.23 was included just for me. One day trains may stop again at Montpelier’s spare platform…

7.  Clifton Down railway station.

7.  Clifton Down railway station.

Near the bottom of that ramp is a sign saying ‘cyclists dismount’. I always wonder whether it’s aimed at people who’ve been riding along the platform, or those who’ve just come slaloming down the ramp…

It wasn't just for you, but it's certainly one of the harder ones in the quiz - or so I thought - harder ones are being identified all over the place.  Perhaps that's because of the kindness of knowledgable members who know most of the answers in leaving the easier ones for others who may not know many.

I am guessing that all that scaffolding in 21 is Bristol Temple Meads

3. Bath bus station.

16. Bath town centre
