I think 3. is Bristol Temple Meads.  Roll Eyes

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.

Some good and correct answers there which I have cut in to the original quiz.  The quiz is a European one - 10 pictures in 10 different countries which is why I expect some to be very difficult in addition to the dark.

Sometimes, perhaps, the obvious answer is the right one - 8. Milan Centrale.
