35 is probably new port as well since it has a very grotty under pass and if you had that much luggage you would have needed to use it

38 I guess is Temple Meads since it looks to old to be parkway

My early error to say 19 was Reading - it wasn't it's Ealing Broadway - Sorry about that.  35 is not Newport, 00 is not Cardiff Central (correctly stated, leaving a choice of the other 2503 out of 2504 stations  Wink )

I won't add the next batch of 10 just yet - there are plenty of early ones to work out ... 7 through 15, anyone?  34 through 37?

11: Interior of FGW (First Great Western) Class 158. Looks like it's at Bath Spa as well.

31 looks like the new housing estate near Swindon that can be seen from the M4 (don't know the area so can't be any more specific)

11 is indeed the interior of a 158 at Bath Spa ... the Bristol Parkway service at 14:08 which misses out Temple Meads.

31 is new housing at Melksham, where there are around 1,600 new homes being built or scheduled at present (someone misquoted that as 16,000 at a meeting the other day, causing a welcome relief from some very serious subjects relating to the growth along the Chippenham - Melksham - Trowbridge axis)

Explains why it's empty!

Hey all

For some reason, 72 reminds me of Newport, Or is it of one of the new FGW (First Great Western) screens, if it is i'd say somewhere between Reading and London, because of the way it says DS(Plat4) - DS meaning Down Slow.

Yes, 00 is Chester and 72 is (another !) Newport picture.    Horrid-long connection wait => lotta snaps!

What is that stuff on the information board at Newport telling me?  ( http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/seventy/timb72.jpg ) It was alterating between that screen and an instruction to call the 08457 48 49 50 number for further information while I was there.   The information booth on platform 4 was firmly unmanned, there was an icy wind

How I guessed that I have no idea!  Shocked

I'd imagine it would be information to tell anyone fixing it what is wrong with it, or it could be that the board was had been disconnected or something, seeing as it says "IP: Disabled"

Filling in a few more gaps ... I think 14, 15 and 39 are Trowbridge.

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.

I think 12 is Bath Spa.
10 - bit of a long shot but I have a feeling it could be somewhere near Lawrence Hill.
