Correct. That just leaves pictures 2 and 10. |

24 hours after bignosemac's original post?  If 2 is Cannon Street - what's a Welsh police officer doing there? |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.

A Guess as I'm not 100% sure... But:
No 2. Birmingham New Street?

Correct. If 2 is Birmingham New Street - what's a Welsh police officer doing there?
Shoulder epaulettes were 'pip' and crown so he would have been a Chief Superintendent. Internet digging and finding a picture leads me to believe he is the CS for BTP▸ Wales and Western region, who is based in Birmingham. I wonder whether he has two sets of uniforms. One with prominent Welsh wording and one with only English. Incidentally, I've just discovered that the Officer in overall charge of the BTPs Neighbourhood Policing Teams in London was called Chief Inspector Dreyfus.* I just hope he didn't have a Clouseau in his ranks! *Now promoted to Superintendent. Perhaps to stop the jokes. |

Thanks for that excellent detective work, bignosemac! I'm only surprised that British Transport Police officers in Wales and Western Region don't have just the one version of the reflective panel, showing POLICE and HEDDLU, and have done with it, for half the cost.  |

His back panel did have the English translation in much smaller script.  Back to the quiz. Just picture 10 to get. I rather suspected this might be the toughest of the bunch. |

I believe it's Alsager (ASG)? |

And I believe you didn't read, or have ignored, the prominent sentence ( in bold and underlined) at the head of the OP▸ . There's always one.  Never mind. Correct. |

This was a part of the network that I'm more familiar with than parts of FGW▸ -land - which meant that I recognised about half of them. But I was very surprised that it took so long for Birmingham New Street to be named.

Me too. In fact I used to live in Alsager and spent many happy hours at Crewe watching the 'Big 'Uns' come and go. Great in those days as there was often a change of engine at Crewe so you'd also get a lot of additional movements on/off 5A. The Knotty was finally electrified from Crewe to Kidsgrove not so long ago so that there is a good WCML▸ diversionary route south from Crewe through Stoke. I don't know if you noticed BMN but at the time that the electrification was done much of the line from Radway Green (now closed) on to Crewe was singled !!! So in one fell swoop you get a good upgrade & then limit it's use - I can never figure out Network Rail!! |

The only one I could get was Manchester Victoria - I used to use it every day - but someone beat me to it.

As a follow-up, how about a little fares teaser?
I travelled from Bristol - Manchester on Wednesday 23rd and returned on Thursday 24th. With walk-up tickets.
Bristol - Birmingham was Standard Class Off Peak Return, although I didn't use a Bristol - Birmingham ticket. I paid ^26.50 - no splits. The Bristol - Birmingham advertised Off Peak Return is ^50.40
Birmingham to Manchester was a selection of 1st Class Anytime Day tickets totalling ^48 allowing me to travel up via Crewe, Alsager and Stoke-on-Trent (Virgin, London Midland, Virgin) in that order. On the return I changed at Stoke-on-Trent (Virgin, CrossCountry). The Birmingham to Manchester advertised 1st Class Off Peak Return is ^85.50.
Anyone like to have a guess at the tickets I purchased?
