Well, I'm sorry to do it, but I'll go for the very easy, low-hanging fruit, one first:

28.  Avonmouth.  The old parcels office building.  Sad
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.

Correct! 2. is Chippenham

EXIF data tells me I took that image at 0933 on Saturday 15th September 2012. I'm not sure the EXIF data is accurate though. I 'lost' many pictures from my hard drive a month or so ago. Recovery of them left me with some corrupted data. Did Chippenham have those single lens signals by September 2012? Can you reconcile the date and time with timetable data?

Alright - I'll cut to the chase - Enfield Chase (picture 23)!  Wink Cheesy Grin



To be fair, the station name appears on a board on the far platform in your picture.  Otherwise, there's no way I would have been able to identify it.  Tongue Roll Eyes Embarrassed
