Introducing Finn to trains. But where?

I have to say that I have struggled a bit with this one.  Undecided

Firstly, and simply to avoid any of the almost inevitable ribaldry from our members here, it clearly isn't 'Taunton'.  Roll Eyes

Well, not the mainline station there, anyway. But I have also trawled through my memories and photos of the West Somerset Railway, and I can't place it anywhere along there, either.

Nor on other heritage railways in Somerset, Devon or Cornwall - and it surely has to be a West Country location, with the old Great Western Railway livery?

I hope Finn enjoyed his day out, anyway.  Wink

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) 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.

Same location. A bit more railway in this shot.

Hmm.  I'm still struggling - but there's some commendably unobtrusive overhead line equipment in that picture.  Tongue

That is correct. A trip on the Kent & East Sussex Railway. Finn's first heritage railway.
