17 - for some reason I thought at first of Ryde Pier Head, but I think it's actually Ryde Esplanade.

You just beat me to that one, and with a similar thought process.   

I bet due to the green colour scheme people have been searching the 'Southern' TOC (Train Operating Company) area without much success.

Which then makes me wonder if the red in picture 20 is also a bit misleading in terms of the responsible TOC...

17 is indeed Ryde Esplanade. I thought the colour scheme might confuse. I flew back to the mainland from near here...

Well done all who answered. You remain a knowledgeable bunch. Next time I'll have to make the obligatory Taunton picture much harder.
