Sorry, no.

21 - Dolygaer, Brecon Mountain Railway.

Correct! That's the one I thought was hardest and would be last to go.

I think 18 is Windsor and Eton Riverside.

Correct!

I originally thought it was Central - hence my earlier reference to being terminally confused. Excellent picture, incidentally.

33 looks to be on a still-open line - there's a station name in the background - and we were given the clue that it has been there since 1900. So that may point to a GWR (Great Western Railway) cut-off or the GC» (Great Central Railway - link to heritage line) or Joint?

Aha - I think it's 24 hrs since my last crack so here goes: No.7 is lovely, lovely Sheffield Park. Dangit, just spotted that others have beaten me to it.

Correct. If there's a Taunton there has to be a Melksham!

7. Sheffield Park

32. Chard Central ?

Both correct! I'm assuming you meant 31 for Chard Central.

10 - Ipswich

Correct!

24. Tenterden Town, Kent & East Sussex Railway

Correct!
