10. Sorry no, not London Bridge.

Clue. Despite it being late afternoon I had the train to myself from here until it crossed the river. I alighted next to another station pictured and already guessed.

10. Those bricks look like a lot of walls in London, often used in buildings around the Paddington area?  Cue Ollie?  Tongue

The station in question isn't near Paddington, it's in South London I believe Smiley

Technically, I *may* have inadvertently cheated on this one... But is 6 Polegate by any chance??

Think I am going to have to send you a picture of Polegate station Tongue

See picture 6 on here: http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=8959.0

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.

Hmm. Sounds a bit like a 'Parliamentary service' to me. Lips sealed

Hmm. You told us in another topic that you had been to Folkestone Harbour: is 15 Folkestone Central station, by any chance?  Wink
