Here are some images that I have filtered to turn into interesting 'art pieces'  . The first one is of my local station at Melksham, but can you work out where I was when I took the others?  That was Melksham. Now work out 1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  One each ... please (at least for the first couple of hours!) |

Number 1 is *not* Redland ... Number 2 is *not* Cardiff Central ... all of the others are correctly identified.
I *did* come back and edit the post to add "one each please" within the three minutes (?) that our software allows after the initial post without it adding a "this post has been edited" flag, so I suspect that Rick had seen it very quickly and was busy researching answers ...

Is 1. Chippenham? (If it is, it's a lucky guess!)  |

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.

Is 1 Kemble? That water tower in the background looks a bit familiar.

Bonus pic: Southampton Central? (Just a wild guess based on the evidence of a third-rail)
Oh, and can we see the originals once the bonus is guessed?

Hmmm .... that isn't actually a third rail ... Not Southampton (nor Northampton either  ) I'll have to hunt around for the originals. I'm sure I have them *somewhere* ... |

It is indeed Reading ... you're spot on with that. I thought it was taken across FROM platform 4, but it's very likely I had my diagonal wrong (and was suffering slipped memory) ... it probably is a picture or platform four, with passengers from Basingstoke of Newbury dashing along to catch the London connection. |

It was obviously to heavily stylised for me, Graham. But in fairness it does look like there is evidence of ceramic insulators and a third rail!
