William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) 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.

All these have been correctly identified

1. Brighton - stuving
3. Basingstoke - JayMac
7. Bristol Temple Meads - Chris from Nailsea
8. Marlow - Oxonhutch
9. Paddington - Western Pathfinder
11. Oldland Common - Richard Fairhurst
12. Taunton - AMLAG
13. Weymouth - bradshaw
14. Glasgow Central - Zoe

A couple of relatively easy ones remain - and some that I think will stick until the 24 hours is up at least.

It's interesting, grahame, that all of the stations which have been identified so far are all in the UK▸ (United Kingdom).  Most of the others, clearly in Europe, remain a puzzle.

I have, to a certain extent, some inside information as to where grahame has been travelling recently - but I'm struggling.  Roll Eyes

Yes, I note and had expected that the UK ones would go first - and come tomorrow morning I'll be accepting a country rather than insisting on a station name.  For those of us who enjoy rail travel, the sheer variety of new places is lovely and these are just "random" places I have been to.
