In reverse order:-
5. Swindon
4. Southampton (Canute Rd.)
3. Your garden railway
2. Melksham today
1. is a trick question, because it's an artists impression of Melksham once the proposed upgrade to the Trans-Wilts service is completed.

These are all correct - although the answer you gave for (1) isn't the one I had on the card.

Timmer has identified 4. correctly.

But can anyone tell me where 3. (in this country) and 1. (Overseas) were taken?

3 - Thorpe Park, Alton Towers? 1 - I'd say it looks like somewhere in Germany (look how spotless and tidy it is)

3. is indeed at Alton Towers.

1. You aren't even on the right continent  Wink    I'm hoping the game will last at least a bit for other who come along so I'm not giving too many more clues!

Shazz "has it".  Washington DC▸ (Direct Current) Metro.   It's Springfield / Franconia station, in Virginia rather than DC itself.
