With the clocks going back an hour we are truly in Autumn.   I haven't been far afield this summer - can you place where I have been?   Oe each for the first 24 hours and I'm pretty sure there won't be much to mop up at the end.

1.


2. - Salisbury - Fourbee


3. - Weymouth - eXPassenger


4. - New Milton - Surrey 455


5.


6. Avonmouth Dock Crossing - stuving


7. - Worcester Foregate Street - Worcseter_Passenger


8. - Baker Steet - Ralph Ayres


9. - Melksham - bobm


10 - Dilton Marsh - Timmer

2. Salisbury - Fisherton Street. I walked back to the station "the other way" recently and there is a hole in the wall of the car park. I thought I was going to have to walk round and miss my train!

6. Avonmouth Dock Crossing, though it's not a name that most people would associate with it - "under the M5" or "near Portway P&R (Park and Ride)" would give a better idea.

8. Baker Street.  The decorated overhead beams gave it to me before I looked at anything else to confirm.

7 - Worcester Foregate Street, platform 1. The "mind the gap" sign is an understatement.

All right ...

2 Salisbury - Fourbee
4 New Milton - Surrey 455
6 Avonmouth Dock Crossing - stuving
7 Worcester Foregate Street - Worcseter_Passenger
8 Baker Steet - Ralph Ayres
10 Dilton Marsh - Timmer

Good calls.    I noted the irony of a Baker at Baker Street an unusual case of much of the station name appearing on the picture but not in need of obscuring. The Avonmouth picture was, in fact, taken while I was hanging around waiting for Portraiy Park and Ride to open!
