I have to say that I have struggled a bit with this one.  :-\

Firstly, and simply to avoid any of the almost inevitable ribaldry from our members here, it clearly isn't 'Taunton'.  ::)

Well, not the mainline station there, anyway. But I have also trawled through my memories and photos of the West Somerset Railway, and I can't place it anywhere along there, either.

Nor on other heritage railways in Somerset, Devon or Cornwall - and it surely has to be a West Country location, with the old Great Western Railway livery?

I hope Finn enjoyed his day out, anyway.  ;)

Same location. A bit more railway in this shot.

Hmm.  I'm still struggling - but there's some commendably unobtrusive overhead line equipment in that picture.  :P

Two days ago - 28th September - I suspect you may have visited Bodiam.

That is correct. A trip on the Kent & East Sussex Railway. Finn's first heritage railway.
