I've got a dozen pictures for you to identify. Many of these are nice easy ones in FGW▸ (First Great Western) territory,  so please give anyone a chance and just answer one each.  To start off, here are the six odd numbered ones.  I'll put the even ones up when most of these have been ID'd.

1.


3.


5.


7.


9.


11.

Nope, sorry Karl - 3 isn't Chippenham (nor the next station along from there in any direction)

7 looks like Chippenham to me - I've occasionally sheltered from the rain in the little archway under the footbridge there

Evening

Take a wild stab at 3. being Cheltenham, but
probably wrong?
