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.

All these years in Bristol and I've never seen that signal in the 'off' position!
I've seen all the other bridges in 'action'; Prince Street, Merchants Road and the Plimsoll Bridge.

1. Correct - Bristol (Redcliffe Bridge - I'll take your word for that)
5. Correct - Melksham
I would expect 3 to not take too-long as it was taken on a station platform ...

3. The text on the bus says "The best way to discover the mysterious stones", so I'd guess it was taken at either Stonehenge or Salisbury station?

4 says that ... 3 shows a hedgehog and a drainpipe ... or did you start counting at zero? You are correct in the location for (4) it is indeed one of those 2. But I have seen buses with specific texts way off route. Trains too - at the start of this month, I was in a train that was headed for Cheltenham ... with a map showing the south coast and exeter to waterloo routes and not a "Kemble" or "Stonehouse" to be seen. |

That hedgehog picture is really bugging me. I'm sure I've seen it before but just can't recall where it might have been! THen again, maybe I've just seen photos.  |

2 is a tough one, as Chuffy the Train gets around a great deal. He was at Melksham's Party in the Park last week, for instance, but didn't arrive until 7pm as he'd been at 3 other events in the area that day alone. There's not really enough detail in the background to place it exactly apart from a rough stone wall and Bath stone pillar - so I'd have to make a wild guess based on the fact that someone or something is happening behind Chuffy and suggest it was taken somewhere en route of Melksham's carnival procession?

Phil ... you aren't far out (about 30 yards!). Chuffy's picture was not taken on 17th (Carnival and Party in Park day), but earlier this month.

I don't think Chuffy is cleared for DOO▸ , so the dog acts as second staff member. Driver was off on his rest break; dogs get more but shorter breaks. |
