3. Yatton, correctly guessed by Chris from Nailsea, although I should dock a point for a second go within 24 hours!  Roll Eyes Grin

4. Sorry d_m, not Cholsey either!

So, numbers 2 and 4 still open and as CfN has jumped the gun, now open to multiple guesses.  Grin

Well, while I knew that 3 is Yatton, I was then going to guess that 4 is Bristol Parkway, to be fair.  Wink

If I may offer this (just to help Mookiemoo recognise it, on her return journey!), there's an excellent picture, showing both the footbridge and the road bridge at Yatton, at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/YattonStation.jpg  Wink Cheesy Grin

11. T**nt*n Grin, correct by devon_metro. Weighbridge on platform 2 (still in working order!) In full:
