Yes, I note and had expected that the UK▸ (United Kingdom) 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.

OK. No2 is somewhere in France  Grin

Another four answers correctly posted ... leaving just three to identify and (yes) none of them is exactly local

4.


10.


16.


I will also invite members to be a bit more specific with this one - yes, I did say "just a country OK" but I would expect some members to know this particular place

2.
