57: A 158 and I can see a third rail, so it is south of Southampton.  My initial thought was Fareham (by the design of the roof).  I keep coming back to thinking of this as being Platform 2 at Fareham, overlooking the train sat at Platform 3.  This fits in with the Ladies being in the correct place!  But I can't see the bridge - perhaps this photo was taken before it was built?

57 definitely Fareham, the background detail to the immediate right of the cab is helpful too I think.  But taken prior to the new footbridge installation, so some time before early 2009, by which time the lift shafts were going up...

Just a wild guess, but could the overgrown crossing also be on the Bicester - Bletchley line, beyond Claydon?? junction?

Yes, Fareham (one of the very few older pictures) and Claydon - see how the shrubs have grown around that fence which is visible in the last picture

These are the remaining 4 that have no location against them ...  I think there's probably someone out there who can identify the last two ...

But we don't actually know where 21, 22, 23 or 30 were taken either!

I think we should be told precise locations otherwise the whole competition has to be deemed null and void.

First two between Chippenham and Swindon ... third one in Melksham, fourth one around Freshford

Ah ... I think the Taunton-every-time thing has worn a bit thin, but that neeting was indeed there.

I case your suffering from TWS (Taunton Withdrawl Symptoms) here are pictures of two different stations in that town:

10 you've just given the name of the event - can you name the location where it was and the speaker too?

Perhaps rather sadly, I've just seen that picture appear, yet again, in the top right corner of my screen - and I know the answer: Taunton, Mark Hopwood (TravelWatch SouthWest).  Grin

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) 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.
