Here are some pictures from my latest day out. They are not in any particular order of travel, and while I haven't obscured anything within the photos, I have cropped a couple of them, just to omit 'spoiler' details! May I ask that we please observe our usual rule: one guess each, for the first 24 hours - just to give everyone else a chance? Thanks! 1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  7.  8.  9.  10.  11.  12.  |

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.

Correct, mon brave! 12 is Taunton.  There is a certain irony on that one, as grahame posted a picture of that very same platform ramp, albeit in a rather different configuration, in a previous quiz - and it caught me out (yet again!). C.  |

I really should've used my guess on one of the others rather than bluddy Taunton!  <stands on one leg, touches knee three times>* *A superstitious ritual that I now do each time that station features on the forum. |

Yes; in terms of tactics, I was rather startled when you answered that one first! |

According to my GWR▸ atlas 274 miles (no 6) is Bodmin Parkway.

Thanks, eightf48544! Actually, I assume you mean picture 5 - in which case, you are correct!  Would you care to expand on your answer - in terms of what's in the background? |

I assumme that it is Mark 1 in blood and custard belonging to the Bodmin and Wenford Railway.
In summer of 59 I had a footplte ride on a 45XX from Bodmin Road to Wadebridge. Running round in Bodmin (General). For a tiny station General seems a bit pretentious.

3 Taunton. The old bay platforms for trains coming from Minehead. Now for a bonus point if anyone can tell me what the little bit of fencing is for just above where the buffers would have been. Cant imagine what for.

No idea on the fencing but surely that pic is a candidate for the Railway Eye Railway Garden Competition! |
