A gaggle of happy passengers waiting to board an overcrowded Cardiff-Pompey service at Bristol Temple Meads?

Trowbridge, as is 15, 16 and 17.  Relevance is the launch of TransWilts Community Rail Partnership?

I'd hazard a guess at Oldfield Park.

A good range of correct answers there (these are not designed to be tough) ...

Trowbridge, Westbury, Stapleton Road, Oldfield Park and Bristol Temple Meads.  I have updated the page that shows all of the images to include the answers to those that have already been guessed at thsi stage, and will do a further update this evening. The dog wants to go out for a walk and ride  Wink

Common link - yes - TransWilts and connections, some distant, thereoff.  Did you know that as well as a lot of journeys withing the line, we get some long distance traffic / connecing people too?   The connection onto the Weymouth line at Westbury should be far better than it is (in some ways that could be our logical route), and we get all sorts of journeys like Swindon to St Austell, Chippenham to Chichester,  and Melksham to Norbury!

Wot no Somerset county town in the selection? (at least that I can see!)

On the contrary: there is a Taunton picture!  Grin

There are indeed 60 ... and, yes, that is "TravelWatch SouthWest" (how on earth did you work that out?  Cheesy ). 


Actually, I thought remembering TravelWatch SouthWest is power car 43034 was rather good for me - I'm hopeless at numbers!  Embarrassed Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) 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.

21 flushes the toilet!

34 is the queue for the TVMs (Ticket Vending Machine) at Bristol TM(resolve), overlooking the queue for the ticket windows.

41, 42 and 43 are a Class 150.

I agree - Santa Special, perhaps?

20 is Melksham Station.  And 18 is Melksham - but not the station!  Grin

A lot of correct answers there ... I have updated the page showing all of the pictures at

http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/sixty/

to include the definite correct and complete answers. 

Of note ... not 5 was *not* taken in Melksham  Grin  and for no. 10 you've just given the name of the event - can you name the location where it was and the speaker too?

Overall ... you're doing well on these!

Thanks, grahame!  Grin

Having had moderate success so far, I'll now offer the following suggestions, if I may?

02 is Warminster

05 was taken at Chippenham - a picture of the entire Melksham service, from the timetable there?

06, 07 and 08 are Chippenham

10 (cough) I'll leave others to describe in more detail  Wink

37, 39, 44 and 45 are Melksham  Wink

54 - I've driven under that bridge, but I'm darned if I can remember where it is!  Embarrassed
