3 - Leeds?

Although reindeer might exist in other places too.

yes indeed ... that was not an easy one!   I haven't come across any other "don't sit on the the reindeer" signs in stations though ...

You are very welcome to tell us now. (( I didn't actually say "for the first 24 hours" after just "just one guess each" on this occasion - many thanks for noting and respecting that. ))

P.S.  When I put these up, I have a sub-plot where I guess which ones will take the longest to be answered - and I often get it wrong.  In this case, however, no. 5 was one of the two I thought might take a while.

It would indeed ... you get around a bit to know all of these, or have some impressive research capability / knowledge.
