Really trying to figure out where 27 is..really thought it would be Oxford  It is, Ollie. You weren't sure about it earlier, so I left it for others to chip in. I'm conscious that our North Cotswolds and Welsh Marches members don't have much in their area in this series, so was hoping that one or two of them might contribute. Chris - all of yours are correct, and I have updated the "answer sheet" to show them. It's now standing at 34 guessed, and 26 to go. Some are very easy if you note that pictures come in batches ... others are going to be rather tricky, and there are a couple that I know I will need to explain. All pictures, and up to date (at present) list of places / scenes identified to far at: http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/sixty/ |

Yesterday, I visited three locations from where my picture collection was either light or out of date, and I've added 10 images onto the end of the sequence. I wasn't far from home (so sorry - Cookham, Cornwall, Colwall - nothing that you'll identify in your areas!), but one of the locations may give pause for thought  |

I'd hazard a guess that 11 is Chippenham, 13 Trowbridge and 24 Swindon.
28 might be Didcot, but I confess that's a long shot.
55 and 60 are both Westbury. I think 67 might be too.
59 is Dilton Marsh
68 and 69 are Devizes
Oh and 46 is Corsham

Good call on all of those, Phil ... yes, 28 is indeed Didcot. I had thought that the Devizes ones and Corsham might "stick" ... but they didn't. There are still some very interesting ones (and some I think are easy!) there.

09 - Frome?
49 - Brockenhurst (unless Taunton's acquired a third rail and blue/grey 3CIG...)
58 - Soton Central?

9 Looks like the Bristol bound platform at Chippenham, presumably all of the punters awaiting a Transwilts service |

Some of the punters had just come up from the TransWilts direction and were catching a train to Bristol and beyond. Not sure how many, but certainly car park surveys at Chippenham station show this sort of use of "Chippenham Parkway" to be quite common! |

I think 30, 32 and 33 are all variations on the theme of 31 - crowding on Portsmouth / Southampton services?

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.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

00 I would say is Chippenham, Bus Stop on the station forecourt. 52 - 53 I would hazard a guess are Salisbury...?? I know some of the others too but I won't post them just yet, i'll let others guess first |

I hadn't even noticed 00 didn't have a caption! It's definitely Chippenham.
61, 62, 63, 64 and 65 all look like Westbury to me.

Confirming:
00 - Chippenham
30 to 33 - Portsmouth to Cardiff crowds
52 and 53 - Salisbury
61 - Westbury (but NOT all pictures up to 65 are Westbury!)
66 - Frome

64 - 65 is also Frome I am highly tempted to say that 63 is also Frome - But I can't quite see the 4 Aspect signal in the picture  62 I would agree with Phil is Westbury... The classic park a 150 out of the way manouver  40 I would say is most definately Melksham. and I'm going out a mile here... But I'd say that 19 is Clapham Junction |

40 isn't Melksham, trout mate - Melksham's single track at the moment. It's possibly Trowbridge but I'm only guessing, I admit.
