2. Wareham.

Acknowledged - it's Wareham, not Taunton.  ::)

Hmm.  :-X

I disagree: different stonework and different alignment?

My own feeling was that it could be the disused part of the Kemble branch line - but I don't think it's that, either.  ::)

Good shout, Timmer!

I wasn't convinced initially, but looking at it, you're right.

I'm hopeless at these picture quiz topics.  ::)

I think you should trust your initial feeling on number 11 CfN  ;)

All correct, Richard - and I am about to go back and edit the original thread to put in all the other correct answers given - Taunton, Trapani, Worcester, Bath Spa, Wareham and Westbury.   Arithmetic suggests that there are two still to identify.

STOP PRESS - just one

8: Melksham  :)

Just one remaining - the one I suspected would take longest.  Impressed as ever that my obscure western Europe picture was identified, but no. 12 is at another level.

My headline suggested "campaign for new / reopened services" and indeed the Newquay picture is already being brought back into life with the mid Devon metro. 

The Westbury platform is being campaigned for and desperately needed whenever anything is running late (BBC interview - "Was the last train you caught on time" - answer "Yes it was when I caught it, but it was late into Westbury because it had to wait outside for a platform" in July)

I dream of the Wareham platform becoming the Swanage Bay again.

As I suspected - very much the hardest picture on this thread. Here are another couple of pictures close by
