As 24 hours have now passed, I would like to suggest that number 10 is Golspie on the Far North line ??

It is indeed.  And they have.

..or Falmouth, as a Google search reveals the local council has had a campaign to encourage the use of such bags? My guess would be Docks rather than Town station

11.  Taunton.

Logged

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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

A correct guess ... This is on the wall that separates platform 1 from Ranelagh Road.  Less seen than it deserves as it's on the road not the rail side of the wall, and in a direction that few visitors walk when they arrive by train.

11.  Taunton. 

Worth a shout.  Roll Eyes

Indeed - but not a seaside, so not included in this quiz.
