None of them is Melksham - though it tends to be 'tother end of most of the journeys I took pictures on!   It's wonderful to be able to actually use the train to get to these places ...

10

It's got me puzzled there appears to be SWT (South West Trains) 158? coupled to an (First) GWR (Great Western Railway) 150? so possibly Salisbury.

Indeed.  I was up at 04:30 on Monday morning.

It's not Salisbury, I'm afraid.   As you may have noted from some of the earlier answers, there are some distinctly unusual workings shown in some of these pictures!

A bit of a guess, but if 10 isn't Salisbury or Exeter (the canopy girders are wrong for either) then how about Southampton?

Could the unusual working be due to ex-Cardiff rugby specials?

Nope, sorry - not Southampton either.
