I don't think4 is Cornwall, it looks like there's 2 main lines and a single lead junction and there's no layouts like that, plus a lot of Cornwall is still semaphore signals

Number 4 is Swindon.

The unit is on platform 2, the HST (High Speed Train) is going in on platform 1!

4 is indeed Swindon. The 153, I'm afraid to say was not going to Melksham.

Thornford is close, but no cigar.

Any more guesses?

Not in your Photo... I believe you took that picture from Platform 2, Between the Banner Repeaters and the Footbridge.

Picture 2 in My Quiz 3 is of the points underneath the footbridge which switch trains onto the Down Main or the Sidings. Which was taken a few metres to the right of where you took your photograph. Grin

Either that, or you took the photograph from Platform 1 and have a very good camera... Wink

The photo is from platform 1, but where are these banner repeaters you speak of?
