No foul: information freely available on the forum, for those who were paying attention - see http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=8572.msg86923#msg86923  Wink Cheesy Grin

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.

3. looks like Polsloe bridge too, otherwise it's between Exeter and Honiton!
It is Polsloe Bridge yeah. Wondered if anyone was gonna ask about my unofficial lost property trip - considering the complaints lost property gets on here Tongue

1. Going by the clue and the fact it has a Platform 4, I'm guessing Twyford?  Not a station that I've ever stopped at...
Yep spot on - only took the picture as it was the first new CIS▸ (Customer Information System) to be put on the platform.

...and seeing as the quiz is now complete, here's the rest of the murals from the subway at Reading:-





The second to last one is slightly wrongly named - a 'Prince Albert' is something entirely different to Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge!!!  Shocked Wink Grin

Now, tell us Ollie about this unofficial lost property trip.....
