Right, no. 7 shows two Indian-looking women dancing and there is an Indian Orthodox Church in Pilning, of all unlikely places, so assuming a tenuous GWR (Great Western Railway) connection, I'm saying 7 is Pilning, probably in the Indian Orthodox church hall or the hall of the school attached to the church.

Even though I don't think it really is.

Love the answer ... you're right in saying it isn't, though!

(Clue - location a bit busier than Pilning!)

Confirmed as Waterloo.

Really chuckled at the original answer - wondered if you knew it was taken at the busiest station around and not the quietest  Grin

6 is the east side platform waiting room at Taunton!

I would have thought south side for trains heading west ... but the station's right. Very recent picture though, so it might not have fully developed yet Cheesy

Aren't trains actually running north/south geographically at Taunton?

Only if they're "road trains" run by First Buses of Zomerset

Open mapping data, North is up and south is down:



travelling from Bristol to Taunton is South South West, as is Taunton to Exeter, but it's pretty well Westwards through from Cogload Junction to Norton Fitzwarren junction.

4 might very well be one of the Salisbury 'Park & Ride' sites.

Indeed ... would anyone (perhaps BobM) care to say which thus the rail connection?

Hopefully there will be a rail connection one day at the adjacent Wilton Parkway.
