Apologies, my bad, didn't look at the link and hadn't seen the station name mentioned.

At least I was on the correct line, and the stations are not dissimilar.

Catching up ...

16th - Redditch
17th - Taplow
18th - Glasgow Underground (not sure where on it)
19th - Swanbourne

And goodness how they have all changed.  I really look forward to passenger trains running through Swanbourne again ... a question from someone who's not fully rail informed yesterday about the awkwardness of her regular journey from Melksham to Bedfordshire being yet another reminder of how much this line is missed.

Melksham

Update to remove question mark. It is the old creamery just on the other side of Bath Road from Melksham Station.

Correctly identified as Melksham.   Two more recent pictures with the new-fangled colour picture process in use.

Now we have the Melksham one out of the way and with so few days left the Taunton one must be getting easier to spot.  Assuming there hasn't been some monumental shift in the rules of the forum!  Smiley
