OK - it's NOT FGW (First Great Western) served, and I don't think that anyone's going to have a cat in h**l chance of placing this without some clues .... but I'm giving it a go for a day or so.   Then the clues will start.

Two creditable attempts - thanks, gents.  You're right to suggest that its not in the UK (United Kingdom), but the countries you have chosen aren't actually the right one(s) and they don't share borders with the right one either  Wink

New Melksham?

 Grin

Curiously, "Melksham" is one of the very few British place names that does NOT seem to have been reused overseas.   I am told that this is because:

a) People who live in Melksham are very happy there and don't WANT to set up colonies

b) The train service is so cr*p that they can't actually get out of the town even if they want to

It could also be - let's face it - because:

c) The folks from Melksham haven't exactly been "get up and go / act" types - something the DfT» (Department for Transport - about) rather relied on when they slashed the TransWilts service

d) It's a peculiar name!

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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

If we knew where grahame went on holiday it might give us a clue.


I'm tending towards Australia, but may be wrong.

Go for US because of the fences but then again the telegraph poles could be Canada.
