Correction - not all that close ... I got two pictures mixed up - thought you were referring to the one already identified as Carbis Bay.

I don't think the narrower gauge railway at Woody Bay is in public use at all.

Yes it is.  I have travelled on it.  Its a 7 1/4 inch gauge railway. I think it only runs now on special event days on the 'main line' Wink

In that case I lost out on my 50/50 guess!

At the risk of looking  foolish... I would say, what would you expect to find between no 11 Penmere and no 13 Falmouth Docks......

No12 Falmouth Town.

You are correct ... I was playing about with some Dell-icate clues if they were needed because I think that station use to be know as "The Dell" rather than "Falmouth Town".

Sorry - it isn't; not St Ives branch

I'm going to plonk for Taunton for no.9.

Good bit of plonking.  And a necessary sign too - even with it there I met a lady standing outside these gates asking how her visitor who was "trapped" on the inside could reach her.   I showed her up through the start of the carpark to the platform barrier that has replaced this entrance.

It isn't there either ... it's a very tough one this as there are not (m)any clues in the picture.
