Not *quite* Toytown but you are remarkably close! |

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.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

5. Melksham 9. Taunton Right on both counts! Number five ...  SHOULD be replaced by one of these next year:  BUT I understand we're likely to get one of these:  because the current traffic levels don't justify anything more (seems a short sighted call to me, that one, bearing in mind all the effort to get a decent service and the acknowledgement all around that Melksham station is horrendously underserved and underresourced!) P.S. You really wonder how often the replacement type is out of service when the text telling you what do do if it's out of order is bigger than the normal instructions for use! |

Yes - exactly right - place and activity! |

No.1 is a First TransPennine Express Class 185 at York, judging from the reflection in the window of the ornate column.
No.4 (the photo is on its side) is inside a BR▸ Mark 1 coach (possibly a compartment coach), the metal bracket is meant to support a full-size table but I think they were rarely used.

SHOULD be replaced by one of these next year: The more familiar version of this type, ie without the screen, is used widely on other parts of the network, and on LU. It would be a better choice, because in an ideal world it would be upgradeableto fit the train info screen later? I'm pretty sure the casing is the same size. Paul |

Correct (including York, very impressive) in both cases. Photo No. 4 was taken just a couple of months ago, and on a main Network Rail maintained line ... |

No. 6 is a road/rail JCB type enginnering bit of kit? Something similar to this: http://www.railability.co.uk/railplant.htm They often look like a JCB with metal wheels and if anyone's ever seen one in action it can change from rail to road mode is seconds - although 'road' mode usually in the sense of moving on ballast between tracks and at the lineside. |

Not *quite* Toytown but you are remarkably close! I decided that as the county town of Somerset always seems to slip into these photo quizzes, I'd refrain from naming it explicity. A kind of superstition like not naming a certain 'Scottish Play'  |

7. is an MGR coal wagon, "HHA" if i remember correctly. Presumably it's between Trowbridge and Bristol as the Westbury Cement Works - Somewhere in Wales still uses these, my guess is therefore Bradford On Avon.

Yes, and thanks for the extra data. The one I pictured (different view) looked like this:  |

Number 4 is the latch for a removable table on a (if my memory serves me correctly) 3Cig, so most likely to be the Lymington Branch Line?
