Quite well spaced ... and some quite tricky. Not all FGW▸ (First Great Western) served (in fact only one shows a track carrying FGW trains) but none terrible far away from them.

I must say, there is a remarkable similarity between the station buildings of 3 and Trowbridge!

I'm 98% sure it is. Over to Graham to confirm that we are right.

Yes, number 2 is indeed Brockenhurst.  And that leaves No 1 (which I expected to go quite quickly) and No 4 (which I expect to linger and need to have clues like "trains used to run through here, but it was a l-o-n-g time ago and only for a few years" added to help you)

Oh come ON folks ... you've got four pictures of an FGW▸ (First Great Western) stations that at least some of you pass through seated in First Class every day at the moment ... and others write about in the longest running thread on the forum!

Not entirely sure its related but....... can I guess at

Pershore
EVesham
Honeyborne
Morton in Marsh
Kingham
Shipton
Ascot under wyhcwood
Charlbury
Finstock
Coombe
Hanborough
Oxford
Radley
Culham
Appleford
Didcot
Cholsey
Goring
Pangbourne
Tilehurst
Reading

I know its not anywhere after reading

And if I got them all in the right order I have definitely been doing this too long!

But I do not actually think its a cotswolds line station so am ruling me out!
