4. Gatwick Airport. I'm not 100% sure but that's taken from First Class on a 442, and that's a 319 in the picture and the 'i' station sign appears to be in Gatwick Express colours.

Number 4 is indeed Gatwick Airport... Taken from inside a Gatwick Express Service for London Victoria... A Class 442 in First Class as you again pointed out Smiley So bonus points for detail Wink

Only number 4 has completely stumped me. Looks like you're in a Gatwick Express branded service.

It is indeed taken from inside a Class 442... It's not Three Bridges however Wink

Chris from Nailsea Correctly guessed Number 3 as Bath Spa:

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.

Diligent research I prefer to call it!  Tongue Grin

And to be fair, a few correct answers came in from others as I was compiling my list for the PM. In truth I think I only got 14 or 15 right solely by my own effort.
