5. Baker Street, London Underground (Circle, H&C platforms.)


Edit: Damn, too slow. But then electric trains are generally quicker off the mark!

Yes indeed - sorry about that.

5 is Baker Street,  3 isn't Port Talbot (it's now identified as Trowbridge)

... and 1 is Liverpool Street.

4 Looks vaguely familiar to me, for some reason ... ?

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.

Well - sort of ... but not the traditional "due to engineering works" type.

Chris, you are getting so well travelled so I expect it is Wink . In fact you've probably seen it in the last few days. The challenge for you in number 2, which is probably closer to Nailsea than number 4.

Hmm.  Roll Eyes

You and I both know darned well where 4 is, grahame: I was 'standing next to you when you took that picture'.  Grin

However, 2 is indeed a challenge.  Embarrassed

Welcome to the forum, Devon Big Bird.    That's a brilliant idea ... I'll have to try that bus ... but I'm afraid it's not right; my understanding is that the Ealing to Wandsworth rarely has any passengers, whereas there were almost 2 dozen others with me on that journey.
