Number 4 is Dr Days Junction (Bristol).  To have taken the photo from that angle, you must have been within the Network Rail bit in the middle of the triangle.  Afraid that I can't link this into any of the other photos.

Edit: looking at the photo carefully, you are on a train so must have passed over Bristol East Junction.

I think 2 is the new Newport Station, and 3 is where Llanwern steelworks used to be.  Wink

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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Birkenhead, yes ... just leaving there now.

New Newport - yes.

No picture of Llanwern ... no Manchester, though.

You should be able to tell me the time of the train I caught in Bath ;-) to sort out the Bristol bit

Did you perhaps travel across the Rhubarb. From memory there is a service that avoids BRI» (Bristol Temple Meads - next trains) in the afternoon?? Or am I the wrong side of the junction?? Cheesy

That'd be the 1408 from Bath Spa. 1338 Westbury to Bristol Parkway service over the Rhubarb avoiding Temple Meads.

No. 3 is indeed between Filton and Patchway ... and No. 4 was the Rhubarb loop / 14:08 ex Bath.  But - alas - No. 5 ain't Crewe though it looks rather like it.   Didn't go to Crewe!
