Loudwater on the closed Bourne End - High Wycombe branch. Clue was the ringed arm on the goods only loop.
Ah - of course  Yes, it is - picture from many years before it closed. |

Grahame. You haven't yet confirmed if some of the earlier guesses were correct or not......

Suspect I was very subtle in one or two cases, just "liking" the right answer. A full list so far: 15th - Loudwater 14th - Waterloo International 13th - Ongar 12th - Trent 11th - Pilning 10th - Cardiff Bay 9th - Barnstaple 8th - Birmingham Snow Hill 7th - Longmoor Military Railway 6th - Also (I think) Longmoor Military Railway 5th - Tan-y-Grisiau 4th - Swindon Town 3rd - Yatton 2nd - Portland 1st - Calne |

Re Loudwater, for an interesting read I can recommend "The Crossing Keeper's Daughter, which is mostly set around Loudwater.
The Crossing Keeper's Daughter by C. Christopher (ISBN: 9781909757493)

A very brave guess ... the correct activity, but the wrong location; I suspect there may not be enough clues in today's picture which is captured from a 60 year old TV program and shows a scene that was re-enacted numerous times each day all across the UK▸ . |

Three-holed rail chairs suggest the GWR▸
My error, GWR chairs were two-holed!

I had to check ... but my old pregrouping railway atlas suggests not. How much of a shuffle around there was after 1923, I don't know. |

Well its a Tablet being exchanged and not a Token so not GWR▸ /WR unless on one of the 'Regional Transferred Lines'.

The "Midland to Western" idea of the Somerset and Dorset is warm in concept ... and I nearly indicated "hot" to the suggest of Selly Oak (though puzzled about there being a single line there) until I realised that was suggested for something else in another thread by Red Squirrel ... with whom the place of the picture has something in common name-wise.
