17. hasn't gone, It was in a bunch of answers from one respondee that I deleted because they had more than two guesses. My mistake. But no, it's not Southall.  Wink

22. Close, but not precise enough....

Remaining unanswered:

4.
5.
17.
19.
20.
22.

Free for all now, 24 hours is nearly up. Anyone who's had their two guesses is now free to answer those remaining.

19.  Portishead line: HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) special excursion. (Picture taken using my camera, I believe?)  Grin
Logged
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.

19. Thought you might say that Chris. Not the Portishead line, sorry.

Clue: The HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) is about to cross a national border.......
