However blakey I concur with your guess of Norwich for pic 9.
Yes, you're right ... it's Norwich! 6 - Winslow or thereabouts?  Welcome to the forum, trainbus and - gosh, I'm sorry - it's not on the Oxford / Cambridge. Good guess if you've seen my pictures / posts from than line too .... |

So that leaves ....  6 (hard one, this ...)  10 (I'm surprised this one hasn't gone!) |

Well I can't see that anyone has tried the Portishead branch for No 6, so I'll give that a go. Though I'm not optimistic as you say it's hard, and Portishead is too obvious.

Hang on a minute...10 looks like it could be the north end of the down platform at Oxford...
Edit:
Second thoughts, scratch that. Oxford doesn't have a DOO▸ mirror like this platform seems to.

Now you point it out 6 is obvious.
Know it well from the Caldon Canal (in my opinion the prettiest canal in England) where the line runs parrallel and crosses the canal in a couple of places. Is this taken from the canal bridge on the Leek branch?
Considerably less greenage from when I last saw it.
Like Norwich pictures. Weren't you cahsed off ?
Well I was partly right saying 10 was TV the DOO▸ mirror and 166 being the clue, but seems it really Kennet Valley but still OMO▸ 166s.

Believe it or not, Graham, I was going to suggest Hungerford last night. Honestly! I even had Google Earth loaded to try and confirm my suspicions! Then something else must have distracted me...
Anyway, many thanks for a thought provoking Xmas quiz.
