Pictures in a video on YouTube for a change.    Can you place any of the stations? (All UK)

Not stations but I spied Barmouth Bridge and the Crofton engine house.

Yep, I should have said "locations", shouldn't I?

Not a traditional quiz!

Two have been identified, there are eight more locations to go.

I've not entirely convinced myself, as it's not a station with which I'm familiar, but is the last image in that clip London King's Cross?

Far from King's Cross, but there is a direct service available.

7. (at 0m 25s)

Paddington - Chiltern units (probably on diversion as more than one) seen from the H&C platform?

Correct ... including (yes) I think on diversion and from the Hot and Cold platforms.

You do ... my goodness, I thought that would be one of the last ones to be identified

(I wonder how many members are wondering "where the ****")

00.21 secs - after some research I reckon Tornado is at Melksham on 26th June.  ;D

Yep, it's at Melksham; 26th June sounds about right.  First call by a steam powered train (to my knowledge) since the station re-opened in 1985.  The one (and only) call by a heritage steam loco was on 23rd April 2014, by Braunton on its way to Stratford-upon-Avon.

Please note that the September 2016 "Steam Dreams" train that calls at Melksham on its way to Kingswear will be diesel hauled on the TransWilts.

Cough ... lest we offend any of our Welsh readers, it's Machynlleth (http://Machynlleth).  ;) :D ;D

OK I'll own up - I accidentally skipped to the "next up" video on YouTube, so mistakenly watched one of Grahame's bus trips instead - wondered why I was out of kilter on the answers  :) (but proving it's perhaps possible to be both wrong and right at the same time!)
