Correct for 1, 2 and 7 - Swindon, Taunton and Didcot
6 is not quite Bath during Christmas Market Crowds.

That is a VERY short platform at Taunton.

6 is difficult, but I think it could be Swindon again.

4 is indeed Twyford
All 7 pictures are taken at different stations.

I think 6. is Bath Spa - but with its usual patronage, not necessarily Christmas Market Crowds.   |

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.

This was before the Christmas Market opened - on my way back from Bristol at the start of November from the Railfuture meeting or the Campaign for Better Transport meeting. Picture proves that rail has a future, and we need better (more spacious) transport |

Don't DOO▸ it, keep the guard (but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea if the driver unlocked the doors on arrival at calling points).
