Please excuse the rather poor image quality... Sad

I took the majority of these pictures using my camera phone... only 2.0 Megapixel... Lips sealed

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.

Re. 7, I know Westbury has those same plastic flowers, but it doesn't have a Pumpkin. So then I thought Salisbury, but that's built of red brick and the wall looks like sandstone. Exeter St David's perhaps?

Fraid it's not Exeter St Davids Phil! Good effort though Wink

Also the flowers a real, They used to be hung quite low, low enough that if you walked under one you hit your head. Certainly not recommended if they've just been watered! Roll Eyes

Thanks again, thetrout!

Personally, I must confess to needing a clue: I went through a list of those 'smaller' stations which got a new HST (High Speed Train) service in the December 2007 timetable changes, but I couldn't identify your photo with any of those stations that I'm actually familiar with.  (It isn't Nailsea, certainly!)

However, I bet devon_metro knows!   Wink Roll Eyes Grin

Looks vaguely like Radley but that's well outside the geographical area of the rest of the pics and I don't think the railings are quite right.
