A selection of images from a day's bashing around the west. Nothing too taxing.

There are a couple of additional ones thrown in from my archive to make up a nice round 10. I suspect you knowledgeable lot will get them all fairly quickly, but if not.....

Please. One guess each for the first 24 hours.

9.  Basingstoke.

Correct. I though that one might be a bit tougher than others. I'd airbrushed out the AXA building in the background. Should've done the same for the reflected 'AXA' logo in the 66's side cab window!

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.

Number 3 is almost certainly Gillingham (Dorset)

I also know which numbers 6, 8 and 10 are as well. But as 24 hours haven't passed I will leave them alone Wink
