Correct. Not clear in the re-sized image, but you can still see the feint impression of the 'Lynx Express' logo and the words 'Parcels Point' on the canopy.

My initial reaction was that 3 is Temple Meads, but on second thoughts I'm less sure.

Fair enough: see http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6d/GWR_map.jpg  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.

I just knew someone would flag up the 'GWR (Great Western Railway) territory' thing! Should've included the word 'former' but I was feeling devilish.  Tongue Grin

....and Chris, I used exactly the same map to double check on Wolverhampton!
