Oops, I see that Graham requested one per day for the first day. Sorry. (Or, given that the quiz was posted last night, was the first day yesterday?)

14 looks like Barry Island Station.  Might even be somewhere round there this week.

<comment>Graham used to say 'for the first 24 hours'.</comment>  Sorry, I used to work in software requirements specification - now that I've retired I've tried to become more relaxed about the precise wording of things.

My thanks to Graham for another splendid quiz.  It's even one where I knew one of the answers!

I am a bit more laid back these days too ... we have a well established membership that is largely self-regulating on this, and the odd extra answer doesn't matter.

Being out and about today,  I've not edited in the correct answers for a few hours - hope to do so in 2 or 3 hours.

Thanks too from me, grahame, but I'm rather struggling with those.

I think 13 is Barnstaple?  Undecided

No, sorry, it isn't.    The two we are left with are ones that I would expect to have gone much quicker

b) Disappointed not to see Platform 2 in Temple Meads not being represented here.


Sorry about that - I did consider adding it in, but limited myself to one picture per station and I had a Bristol Temple Meads picture with the SWR» (South Western Railway - about) Salisbury train on the last day of through services to Waterloo which I selected instead.

It's a little shy of 24 hours since the quiz went up but I'm certain of #13 so I'll be bold and bend the rules. Tongue

It's Severn Beach. The other end of the line to my other answer!

You’re not the only one who thought that might be Severn Beach but didn’t submit an answer  Roll Eyes

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

Thanks, Timmer.  Wink

I really didn't recognize Severn Beach at all, although I should have done, having worked on site there with the Severnside Community Rail Partnership in the past.  Shocked

Taunton station is a bit of a mystery to me, as many of our readers will know.  Roll Eyes

Although I seem to remember that I flummoxed even JayMac with one of my own pictures, taken through the red brick walls there, many years ago.  Wink
