Dear all - please forgive my lack of attention in posting in the wrong place earlier.  I was slow in picking up the new competition.

Don't worry ... I probably made the titles far too similar.   Now - I am surprised that no-one's got home pictures 9 or 11 ...

9.


11.


Both of which were taken at stations with a plentiful supply of FGW (First Great Western) trains amongst others!

Some further clues grahame? I'll probably kick myself for #11, having looked and looked for a possible location.

Gosh ... both pictures that I took in March, one in a place that's very familiar indeed to both you and one of our admins. The other one's an interchange that I used when looking to travel without the need to take on a mortgage to pay the fare.

Hmm. Roll Eyes  Like bignosemac, I have an increasingly uneasy feeling that 11 is somewhere along the Severn Beach Line that I really ought to recognize ...  Embarrassed

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.

I hope I'm not wrong, but I've dismissed the idea that #11 is on the Severn Beach Line.

#9. It's bleddy Taunton again innit? Real sneaky grahame, featuring Taunton twice in one quiz!  Roll Eyes Shocked

Amazing what you fail to notice in your own home town. That logo (no idea what it represents - anyone?) has been on the bridge since at least September 2012 (visible on Google Street View) and I've completely failed to notice it despite walking under that bridge at least two dozen times since September.


EDIT. I've discovered what the logo represents. http://www.projecttaunton.co.uk/

Yeppp ... I've rather a good selection of Taunton pictures. 

Number 11 ain't Severn Beach line, nor indeed Bristol ...

#11 isn't somewhere daft like Deep West Cornwall? Say West of Bodmin Parkway... I wonder if you've been a bit economical with the term 'Interchange' too Wink (Thinking Bus Station and Rail Station such as St Austell) Wink

There *are* some daft things (like the buffet location and hours) at #11, but it's not in West Cornwall.  The new DfT» (Department for Transport - about) figures show over 1000 interchanges there per day, and I think their definition is rail to rail.  I certainly account for 1 of those interchanges on days I pass by the place.
