Can you place these artworks all at stations ... 1 each today, please. It's no longer today - it's now tomorrow, so "open house". We have one member who's already answered who is probably raring to tell me where Jenny Agutter's picture is, and one of the picture that I suspect even stuving will find a challenge! |

The top right corner of the artwork in number 9 bears more than a passing resemblance to the Weymouth Quay terminal building (now demolished as I recall from my last walk down there), and study of the rest of the piece suggests that it may well be at Weymouth station.

Yes and that was one of that I expected to stick. Or - I wonder - had I posted similar? |

There have been several previous references to Haparanda on the Coffee Shop forum, grahame - most of them by you.  |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.

You're not far away but recalling Syracuse the city was breathtaking but the station disappointing. |

Time, I think, for some further clues. No 5 is a big station which I understand is threatened with closure, which serves a major tourist "honey pot" but abysmally. And number 6 is just up the line from one man and his dog. No-one has even attempted number 12 which I find amazing, for that "piece" seems to me almost as iconic as the dove at Antwerp and the bear at Paddington.
