I guess I am disqualified from naming number 4 as I am in the picture!   ;D

It would be a lovely gesture on your part to choose one of the others  :D

Right, no. 7 shows two Indian-looking women dancing and there is an Indian Orthodox Church in Pilning, of all unlikely places, so assuming a tenuous GWR connection, I'm saying 7 is Pilning, probably in the Indian Orthodox church hall or the hall of the school attached to the church.

Even though I don't think it really is.

Terminus with fgw and hst I can't think of any others!

Love the answer ... you're right in saying it isn't, though!

(Clue - location a bit busier than Pilning!)

I would have thought south side for trains heading west ... but the station's right. Very recent picture though, so it might not have fully developed yet :D

Two right but one thing not right - from my original post

1 each please (maximum) for first 24 hours.

But then I suppose I broke my own request by answering 2 in 1

3 Swansea?

Confirmed as Waterloo.

Really chuckled at the original answer - wondered if you knew it was taken at the busiest station around and not the quietest  ;D

Aren't trains actually running north/south geographically at Taunton?

Only if they're "road trains" run by First Buses of Zomerset

Open mapping data, North is up and south is down:

travelling from Bristol to Taunton is South South West, as is Taunton to Exeter, but it's pretty well Westwards through from Cogload Junction to Norton Fitzwarren junction.

Indeed ... would anyone (perhaps BobM) care to say which thus the rail connection?

Hopefully there will be a rail connection one day at the adjacent Wilton Parkway.
