6: Vilnius.

Easy for you to say.  Cheesy

11 Melksham loop?  Cry

Funnily enough, I was also tempted to post, '11. Melksham' but my nerve failed me - again.  Grin

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Melksham mostly features in graham's quizzes in some form or other, so apart from TAUNTON, it's Melksham  Grin
