Yes. Warship diesel in your avatar? Nice! Yup. That's D821 Warship Class 'Greyhound'. The first ever ex- BR▸ mainline diesel to be preserved. |

... and, having waited patiently until midnight, I'm going to offer a second suggestion: 11. Royal Albert Bridge, Plymouth. (... but it's probably not, is it?    ) |

I've also waited patiently 'til after the witching hour to ask whether a certain wesscundry location is missing from this selection of photos? I think we should be told  |

My, allowed by the rules, second guess is:
12. Keynsham?

Keynsham, Weymouth and Swindon are all correct ... but there is no Royal Abert Bridge, nor is the county town of Somerset featured |

11. How many seats does FGW▸ operate per day from Reading to London Paddington (you're going to have to work this one out, I suspect - I've not seen the figure published!). Any guesses that the average occupancy rate might be, and how many people (in total) have to stand? How many extra seats from Reading to London are provided by another operator?
Some very rough calculations for the first part (I expect to be told that some of my figures are very inaccurate!) ... FGW 8 an hour x 7 car x 70 seats x 14 hours 4 an hour x 3 car x 75 seats x 16 hours = 69280 seats SWT▸ 2 an hour x 8 car x 75 seats x 4 hours 2 an hour x 4 car x 75 seats x 14 hours = 13200 |

The SWT▸ contribution is 8 car all day 7/7, except for the last train from Waterloo (Mon - Sat) which are single 450s. The Reading route 458s are made up into 8 car sets semi-permanently .
