So I have had some guesses at picture number 15, sorry to you both, The Trout & Eightf48544 you are wrong.... Yes is was in a former Network Southeast area.......

I think I will have to give a slight clue to this one...it is quite hard......

I think I've got it, but it would be unfair to snatch it off the previous guess-ees.

Does it have an interchange with the Victoria Line?

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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Picture No.7      I will give a slight clue to this one.

Clue:                 It can rhyme with Moose Loose & Hoose.......a saying from the tv
                        Moose Loose Hoose!!!!!!!!! Now the first letter does not appear in these three words!!!! Roll Eyes

Picture No.17      Is on the same line as No.7   But what line is No.7 on I hear you ask Huh

Picture No.11      Seems to be taking the wind out of some people.......so let the air go through your mind and you may come out with a
                       clear head and you will be able to answer Roll Eyes

Picture No.15      I know that somebody has worked this one out..and to be fair, they have not given the answer.........Team Player Grin

So it's Roose - not really a small clue!
And not where I would have expected to find a Tesco Metro, either...

11 Pollokshaws West
Well ... flyingscotsman has already said no to that. And it turns out that these planters are a standard product of a little company on Deveronside http://www.barrelcreations.co.uk/trains.htm (concidentally only a few miles from where my Dad's family came from 200 years ago).

Scotrail have been recruiting sponsors to buy them (^480 a train with two wagons) and volunteers to tend the plants, so they have gone into lots of stations - starting with Inverurie and spreading across Scotland. All of which is not a lot of help in identifying this picture!

I am so so sorry to inform you that it is not Pollockshaws West..........Nor is it Montrose.

Stuving is correct, there are some dotted around the Scotrail network.


I have given some clues to where it might be....so read through my clues again.......

So we have now established it is in Scotland........
