Many of our stations are looking really pretty at the moment with a splash of colour - predominantly yellow - as the daffodils and other early plants come out to play. I've been out to play with my camera too - all these pictures taken within the the last week ... all at GWR▸ managed stations. Can you name the stations from the planter / plants. I suspect this is a harder quiz than usual - so for the first 24 hours it's TWO guesses per person rather than out usual one. 1. Keynsham  2. Menheniot - smokey 3. Shirehampton  4. St. Erth - rower40 5. Swindon - ellendune 6. Gloucester  7. Liskeard - bignosemac 8. Melksham - Reginald25 9. Par - Plymothian 10. Severn Beach  11. Bodmin Parkway - old original "Final" edit - 20.3.2020 - filling in remaining answers |

I'll take a wild guess at #7.
Liskeard?

Is no 1 Stonehouse? I've never got on or off there, but have ruled out other stations that might have a Severnside link. BTW▸ , given every likelihood of complete lockdown happening fairly soon, I hope Graham has a large selection of photos to keep us all active during our quarantine periods.  |

Many a true word written in jest ... I moved my rover plans forward from Easter to March, thinking that travel may become restricted or unwise for me for a while. No, not Stonehouse - sorry. A number of planters along the platform looking like this (though with varying background):  |

Sorry - it isn't 2 The Centre of East Cornwall Menheniot
It is indeed Menheniot - but "Centre of East Cornwall"?? |

Not stations, but off the old/former Stokes Bay branch. Gorse in bloom makes me feel that spring is definitely in the air.
