3 Random Pictures, 2 of which taken by me, one of them is a Google Maps Image of a railway station from above. Guess where they are  (These are all pretty easy to be honest) 1. What station is my car parked at?  2. What station is this an entrance to? *Answered Correctly as Taunton by: inspector_blakey* 3. What station are we looking at from above?  Sorry if pics are a bit big. |

2 - Maidenhead? Back entrance I went in through today not the side where the taxi rank is? Maybe

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.

Hmm ... that rather distinctive red/brown brickwork makes me think Thames Valley: 1. Reading?  |

I agree with Grahame. I thought Picture 1. was maybe Paddington...

Well, yes, I can see that those white buildings in the background could be Paddington - and Ollie had clearly polished his car, so it wouldn't look out of place in space number 2 there!  |

- and Ollie had clearly polished his car, so it wouldn't look out of place in space number 2 there! Don't be so sure. The question asked "What station is my car parked at" and shows a picture of a car at a station; there is nothing to confirm that the car in the picture is Ollie's car, or indeed that the picture is taken at the station that Ollie's car is parked at - we have just made that assumption. The answer could be "Ollie's car is parked at Melksham station, as he caught the 06:40 to Paddington, where he later took this picture of someone else's car. His car is STILL at Melksham station because he missed today's 17:45 back, and now has to wait for tomorrow's 17:45 as it is the ONLY train each day with a connection to Melksham, and he wouldn't risk being seen on a b-u-s". |

Yes, that's also possible -although Ollie did risk being seen on a Voyager, last Saturday, remember!   |

The white building cant be reading - the only white building near the station is the malmaison (my home away from home) and it has not parking near it!
