50 and 51 - I'm pretty sure I've been to both these places before and I'm pretty certain they're both in Hampshire, but can't think exactly where they are.

DOn't know how I didn't spot it before, but 29 is Didcot Parkway, specifically standing on Platform 3 looking towards Oxford where I have spent many cold, windswept hours waiting for connecting trains!
54 is I think the bridge on the A420 north of Swindon on the way to Oxford, can't remember the place name for sure...Shrivenham maybe?
And it's a bit of a long shot, but could 19 be Taunton?

40 isn't Melksham, trout mate - Melksham's single track at the moment. It's possibly Trowbridge but I'm only guessing, I admit.
Ah... and on looking at the picture again, i can see it's double track... lol!! thanks  I would agree with you, i'm 97% sure it's Trowbridge  |

Some good "spots" there ... 19 is indeed Clapham Junction (not Taunton), 29 is Didcot (yes, I have spent cold hours there too - oh for a through service from The West to Oxford!), and the snow scene is Trowbridge. The unit parked off at the side is frustratingly waiting to run the evening-only TransWilts Sunday service; yes, pictured at Westbury. And there are indeed pictures at Shrivenham and Frome too.
Pictures 50 and 51 ... sorry, not Hampshire, and there are still 4 more to guess. One or two are impractical - could have been taken anywhere - but there's still a bit of mileage in 3 or 4 of the pictures.

Hmm. I'm resorting to some rather more 'wild stab in the dark' suggestions, now:
12 = Melksham?
38 = Chippenham - Core Strategy Consultation?
57 = Kemble ?

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.

Aww thetrout beat me before I got home, extra points by saying a colleague tells me it is taken from Platform 9 at Clapham Junction? |

only 12 correct completely, I'm afraid. 38 was a core consultation (arranged by a community group not The Council) but elsewhere. But that really only leaves 50, 51 and 58 which are practically guessable and still open. |

I'm hazarding another guess... I'd say that 57 is Southampton Central... But only a guess... I could be completely wrong... But I'm 99% sure it's on the Cardiff - Portsmouth Line |

Is 51 one of the Thames Valley branch lines? Looks familiar from the footage of car drivers chancing it!

57 isn't Southampton. 51 is indeed somewhere in the Thames Valley - but where |

51 - Langford Lane LC▸ on the Oxford-Bicester Town line?

I'm afraid it's not between Oxford and Bicester Town - but this is the warmest guess so far |

Okay then.... a bit further down the same line on the (currently) freight only section. Launton?

Yes - you're right. The line is currently used only by waste trains headed up to Calvert afaik. |

These are the remaining 4 that have no location against them ... I think there's probably someone out there who can identify the last two ...  - 23  - 38  - 50  - 57 I think there's probably someone out there who can identify the last two ... the first one I tink I took in Melksham and trhe second one - numbered "38" was taken in Melksham Town Hall on the day in January that the Community Area Partnership ran a consultation excersize. So ... 50? 57? |
