Really just logging the station visits. These two are easy peasy.   (That's not some fading vinyl on the Turbo. Sun streak on lens) |

And a good afternoon it was. Slightly concerned that the first photo appears to show you attach Finn's lead through a ring in his nose. |

I'm sure that Finn is very used to a slightly odd looking ballet on station platforms as he's kept on his lead, yet persuaded to stay where he is as BigNoseMac moves away as far as he can on the lead to take a photo |

Chippenham?
Correct! That's the second one. Chippenham was where Finn met Paddington Bear.  Now where else in Wiltshire would one take a novice doggie trainspotter? |

Personally I would take a novice train spotting dog to Westbury, as it's the crossroads / hub of rail networks in Wiltshire and there are lots of trains to see and lots of changing passengers to make friends with. There's also (at least at the moment) some patches of grass near the ungated station entrance to do drain-a-dog. Mind you, more and more there are people around at Melksham to make friends with ... |

As an aside Teignmouth station is quite often used as a training ground for assistance dogs. Apparently it has the right mix of stopping trains and non-stop expresses to get the dogs acclimatised to the railway environment.

Well, Finn wouldn't have had to run very fast.  |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
