Is 2 Norchard? (he says after browsing graham's photo index)
Goodness - my "autoindexer" is working quickly today! - yes - you have all 6 now. 1. Salisbury 2. Norchard (that's on the Forest of Dean railway, about 15 miles from Severn Tunnel Junction) 3. Chippenham 4. Westbury 5. Fareham 6. Reading |

Sorry, but I thought the rules were we tried to guess all 6, and "no partial guesses"? I can't see how someone who is (a) bending the rules and (b) has already been shown up by someone else he asked for the answer to be a cheat can possibly get away with not being disqualified. |

Certainly Reading, and in the triangle. I'll take your word for the siding's name! |

Yes, but I felt we had established (beyond reasonable doubt) the other five ... once I got to saying "5 out of 6" and both competitiors were saying they were very much guessing at Meldon Quarry ... Had there been a prize on offer we might have had tighter rules ... and there's probably a good case with competitons like this to say "give everyone else a chance" in some way but, hey, this is the lighter side  |

To be honest, Phil, I was fairly sure straight away that 3 was Chippenham - but I hadn't a clue about any of the others, so I was rather entertained by the following discussion as to possibilities! Chris  |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Like Graham said, if we were playing for prizes then it would matter a bit more. Also, where did I specifically ask someone for an answer? I simply borrowed one that might make sense. That's the wonder of forums. Besides, a bit of research into a subject is required to know where somewhere is in the first place. Research being the definition that you need to look into it more - or that you've actually been there before. |

I'm in broad agreement with you, Tom - yet at the same time I have a slight disquiet that the thread ran so quickly - that you (and one or two others) are so knowledgable, and at times so picky, that you're rather daunting and can put other people off even trying their hands. |
