Should have got 5 isn't that the aqueduct carrying the Tame Valley Canal in the background? It's the canal that you see from the Northbound M6 and go under on the M5 just before the M5/6 junction.

Correct

2 is Bridgwater and 4 is also Yeovil Junction...

3 Left... A Clue, I can get to this station in One Change from Westbury or Bath, But I would need to travel with 2 different TOC^▸ 's Wink

Possibly, but I think I can see an electrifcation mast on the overbridge (or perhaps it is just a lampost)

3 is Sherborne.

I must challenge the assertion that you need to travel with 2 different TOCs to get there from Westbury or Bath. South West Trains BTH^» /WSB^» -SAL then SAL-SHE. Wink

3 is indeed Sherborne Grin

And I feel like a complete pillock now because I catch the one of the 4 return journey's operated by SWT^▸ at least 3 times a week...!

Just as an aside they were doing Catering on one of the services the other day as a trial run... Anyone know how it went...?

Shame they don't offer complimentary cups of tea to passengers in FC^‡ on SWT (Except the early weekday morning London bound Trains) Ah well... I guess when in Bath and catching the 22:38 I shall just have to resort to continuing to buy 89p cups of tea from the McDonalds just round the corner... Undecided

(Not that i'm complaining... 89p for a big large cuppa in Bath is a bluddy good price Wink

...even if the service in that McD's generally has all the warmth of winter sunlight glinting off a coffin lid. Or maybe I've just been unlucky.

Some of the staff there are ok... and the Free WiFi is a win (i'd rather get laptop out in McD's than in Bath Spa at the time of night but preferably not at all!!!) But some staff go out of their way to make things awkward for you or just be really rude... generally if I do that I like to be the pillock who pays for an 89p Cuppa on a debit card... or a ^20 note always goes down well...!! Roll Eyes

No 3 had me fooled I always associate LSWR^▸ stations as being built of red brick not stone. Maybe it's because I know the ones around Southampton best where everything is red brick.
