I was very surprised that it was Severn Beach that was last to be identified.  You have mentioned some others, folks, and indeed there is a further set of pictures I have ... but tomorrow. I have just spent 2.5 hours in a council meeting - time I will ever get back ... trying to get a gallon out of a quart pot, when we have only bought a pint pot anyway.

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.

I share your pain.  My Bristol region cred is now in tatters.   Sad

Nice quiz. I must admit the thought crossed my mind of what would be the most efficient route to visit all of them at one time, and what railcard(s) would be the best to use.

Needless to say I couldn't identify a single one!

Oh, and disappointed there isn’t a picture of the platform 1 Taunton. Now Chris, I really would have expected you to get that one if there was  Grin

Funnily enough, Timmer, grahame posted another picture quiz, and I would probably have got 12 there as platform 1 at Taunton.

However, I opted for the easier option of Bristol Temple Meads for 7.  Grin
