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.

Damn! Melksham, then? Nope ... sorry; I carefully didn't say that you were "on the right line" because there are no through services from Chippenham to where I took the picture. Give clues wildly, as otherwise you're just going to have lots more guesses! |

No. 1 is indeed Bath .. but "Queen Square"? Is there / was there such a station? No. 7 isn't anywhere in Bath - but it's just one stop from there to where I did take the picture. And - I'm sorry - no. 6 isn't Kemble; there are through services from Chippenham to Kemble at 07:30 and 20:02 , returning at 05:51 and 18:25, so it doesn't fit the clue. Some of these are good hard ones, I'm afraid. |

I think bignosemac means Green Park? I suspect he might, as it's the correct answer ... all these pictures taken this month, by the way - yesterday was a nostalgic trip to ride the "slammers", which is why there's a Brockehurst in the mix - and it did give me a good chance to see some more community rail in practise, the real sense of ownership of the line from both staff and customers. |

bignosemac did mean Bath Queen Square. The name was changed by British Railways in 1954 to Bath Green Park. The station with it's wrought iron vaulted roof was built by the Midland Railway in 1870, so it had its original name for 84 years and it's 'new' name only applied to an operational station for 12 years. |

Ah - you must be older than me - I don't remember those days.  . Thank you for the historic note - I'm delighted to go on learning every day and to confirm the answer as "Bath Green Park, formerly known - and known for much longer - as Bath, Queen Square" Interestingly, Queen Square itself is a couple of hundred yards from the station building, up Charles Street and Chapel Row. Was there some other renaming of squares going on too, or has Queen Square always been a bit of a way from the station that we're talking about? |
