I was out and about last week - a Wednesday trip to Salisbury (2 buses and 2 trains) to meet with a rail contact there, and Saturday to the Severnside Area to meet up with friends from FoSBR» (Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways - site) and Railfuture (2 buses and 8 trains). And out to a show on Saturday evening. But I dropped my photographs.  Can you help me identify which one I took where ... (one each, please, at first - bit of a quiz and let's give everyone a chance)

Truly we have a great variety in our public transport.

1. Sea Mills - bradshaw


2. Salisbury - MVR S&T▸ (Signalling and Telegraph) and Western Pathfinder


3. Bath Bus Station - stuving


4. Bedminster - eXPassenger


5. Trowbridge - RA


6. Melksham (Spa Road) - Reginald25


7. Clifton Down - johnneyw


8.Shirehampton - johnneyw


9. Melksham (station) - eightonedee


10. Stapleton Road - bradshaw


11. Worle - brooklea


12. Oldfield Park - Timmer


13. Holy Trinity Gyratory, Trowbridge - Trowres


14. Parson Steet - brooklea


15. Bath Spa - Timmer


16. Bath "Town Centre" (not quite ...)


17. Redland - Western Pathfinder


18. Hotwells "branch" from Sea Mills - Mark A


19. Melksham Assembly Hall - Reginald25


20. Yatton - TonyN


21. Bristol Temple Meads - ellendune


22. Weston-super-mare - eightonedee


23. Montpelier - Red Squirrel


24. Melksham Town Centre - Prestbury Road, stuving, confirmed by Reginald25


25. Bridgwater - AMLAG

I think No.23 was included just for me. One day trains may stop again at Montpelier’s spare platform…

7.  Clifton Down railway station.

Near the bottom of that ramp is a sign saying ‘cyclists dismount’. I always wonder whether it’s aimed at people who’ve been riding along the platform, or those who’ve just come slaloming down the ramp…

It wasn't just for you, but it's certainly one of the harder ones in the quiz - or so I thought - harder ones are being identified all over the place.  Perhaps that's because of the kindness of knowledgable members who know most of the answers in leaving the easier ones for others who may not know many.
