A few more 'suggestions' for locations from me, then:  Wink

http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/plf/plf24.jpg is Chippenham;

http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/plf/plf25.jpg is Melksham town centre;

http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/plf/plf27.jpg is Bath - open top bus tour, a pigeon's eye view.  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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

the first two - you are correct in everything you suggest.
the third - you're right in that it's an open top bus tour. Not Bath, and not taken with a pidgeoncam  Wink

29 is Cambridge - those are very characteristic street lamps. It's Trumpington Street, looking north.

Further update added to main picture board post earlier in this thread - confirming these correct identifications:

15 King's Cross
29 Cambridge
20 Paddington (H&C)
21 Paddington (H&C)
5 Paddington
8 Paddington
10 King's Cross

Lots of pictures of the same station / place ... the primary intent of this series is to provide a themed sequence for the top of the form for a while, rather than give you lots of different places to look at.
