The details shown in photo 4 are clearly Warminster.  |

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.

Thanks, grahame!  As a matter of interest, where was photo 2 taken? It has some suggestion of being an old canal route about it - but there wasn't a canal at Warminster, so I'm rather puzzled.  |

Chippenham
Avoncliff
Melksham?
Warminster
Chippenham - YES Avoncliff - YES Melksham? - NO Warminster - YES Well done there - it's surprising just how much more difficult it is to identify pictures when they're taken even a short distance from the station. The Warminster picture was taken on Monday, just outside the station. Avoncilff and Chippenham were taken within a couple of hundred yards of the station - the History Centre in Chippehnam, and under the Avoncliff Aquaduct on the Kennet and Avon Canal - both yesterday. The remaining picture was also taken yesterday, and close by a station. |

Yes - that's correct. Here's a picture that might have made it rather easier  and it was good to see a station in fine condition and with useful information about the area on a notice on the platform, in a place where people who are just arriving for the first time will spot it.  |
