It's probably not a bad idea to do 10 at a time ... not that the intent was such a competition (it was more just to get some variety and updates at the page top!)

So of those 10 ... 4 is Newport, 5 is Severn Tunnel Junction ... and the rest have yet to be stated (but you'll note that I have gone for variety in things shown rather than wide variety of places in these pictures)

Oh - 29 (Chippenham) is correct and 38 is indeed one of the Bristol stations.

Indeed it is .... my hands were getting cold in Newport, so I switched the camera on and took a lot of pictures in an attempt [failed] to generate heat and keep warm. Perhaps it was just the time of day I was travelling ... but the connections off the line from Shrewsbury on to Westbury were really awful. Pity that all the through Shrewsbury - Bristols have gone.

As I actually make a guest appearance in both of them, I'll suggest pictures 40 and 42 were taken at Yeovil Pen Mill.  Wink

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) 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.

Yes ... 1 - 4 are all Newport and 5 is STJ (Severn Tunnel Junction railway station) ... that leaves six through ten of this first series ... oh - and number 0 too:



40 and 42 are indeed Yeovil Pen Mill ... and 32 is the car park in Bath (well - there weren't any trains that day from where I live until after the shops had closed - t'was a Sunday)
