No. 1 is indeed Bath, and those of you who said "Swindon" for 2 are correct.  No-one has yet identified 3 correctly  Undecided

Just to cover myself, bearing in mind my appalling track record at this sort of thing, I'm now going to suggest that 3 is Taunton.  Embarrassed Roll Eyes Grin

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.

Yes ... it *is* Trowbridge.  Congratulations (of the open-mouthed and amazed variety) as I never expected these to be gotten quite so quickly if at all.
