Gosh that was quick - yes.

I guess if I put up a picture of the busiest station on the network, someone will know it!

Its the stonework that gives it away for me rather than the names, Bucks may have confused people but that's where Datchet was until 1974!

The Salisbury canopy valances were recently refurbished and are quite distinctive to the LSWR (London South Western Railway). The platform surface near the gateline on platform 4 at Salisbury has a wide tarmac strip which was shown in the picture. I should be embarrassed to admit recognising that!  Tongue

Bath.

I'd second that and note it was before the platform widening and resurfacing.

Nope - it WAS Salisbury as identified by RA - and a very recent picture (lunch time this Tuesday to be precise!)

Quite surprised to see this in addition to the more usual trains, all be their colours quite new:



For today - I suspect some people may find this one quite easy

Is it Melksham? Looking up at the town bridge from a boat on the Avon?

I'm afraid it isn't

The MetroBust terminal at Bristol Parkway?

Nope - not there either.

I'm wondering if I'm going to have to start offering a clue or two on this one.
