My guess is Shipton
Yes ... it *is* Shipton
Not entirely sure its related but....... can I guess at
Pershore
[snipped long list]
Shipton
[snipped long list]
Reading
But I do not actually think its a cotswolds line station so am ruling me out!
Yes, it *was* there in the list ... but that was a very wide spray of shot at the target  ... we would have a serious problem if that was the Oxford or Reading information point for example! |

Came back to this thread when doing a search and noticed that no-one had guessed number 4 ... any experts in amongst our newer members?  |

I must say, there is a remarkable similarity between the station buildings of 3 and Trowbridge!
And of Bodmin Road |

Don't DOO▸ it, keep the guard (but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea if the driver unlocked the doors on arrival at calling points).

Fair comment, Rhydgaled - I've just had another look at your quiz, but I still can't suggest any locations for the unsolved ones. I've resurrected your topic, though!    |

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.

And I've no idea where the gate and lane that grahame has pictured are. I can only assume it is the site of a disused line.
Can we have a clue please grahame?

... that leaves ... No 4 (which I expect to linger and need to have clues like "trains used to run through here, but it was a l-o-n-g time ago and only for a few years" added to help you)
I was thinking along the lines of Long Marston / Stratford / Honeybourne somewhere, but that's perhaps a bit tenuous ...   |

I should probably Ame to give you a clue that does Lark about too much. Or I could tryfar too hard to come up with something a century old and with a military background. |

Thanks! Picture 4 is on the A345 Countess Road just north of Amesbury. Showing the former trackbed of the Military Railway to Larkhill Camp. Here: http://goo.gl/maps/Xk82h |
