Correct. Just the other two now.

Clue: The train in No12 has come from Newcastle Central. There is a castle a few miles away.

Correct. Was that clue making it too easy? I thought many stations on lines around Newcastle had castles nearby! The actual destination nameplate of the train reads Hexham - but I thought this would make it way too easy.

Clue: The other picture has a wear nearby.

It's a river in't north east - goes through Barnard Castle and other places, innit? Although I suppose strictly speaking that's a Wear rather than a wear. Then again in Barny there is also, if my memory serves me correctly, a weir on the Wear. With dippers.

I still don't. There's a very strong chance that it is actually a weir, rather than the Wear, being referred to!  Huh

Hmm, my clue kind of failed. Basically, the thing I wanted to communucate is that there is both a Wear and a weir near the remaining photo. I thought that putting Wear as "wear" might work (sorry TJ). But it didn't.

Suppose it explains why I failed to get a job with The Times crossword department... Tongue

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) 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.
