Is 7 Bath Spa?

Sorry no. 7 is not Bath Spa.

This whisky must be stronger than I thought: I could have sworn you said "Correct" just now  Grin

Sorry, I did. Strong liquor here too. There is a Bath Spa in there - just not number 7. I did the 'Correct!' before checking the OP▸ (Original Poster / topic starter, or Off Peak, depending on context).

Feel free to have another go at any picture.

Oh - where  Grin ... Chippenham

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?

I can recognise 09:33 on a Saturday, but then not the train reporting code I guessed, as that was the only Monday to Friday northbound that's often a 158 in (f)GW» (Great Western - used as an abbreviation for the area / lines under the Great Western franchise, as opposed to FGW which includes "First", the company operating them too. For tickets - about)(R) colours.  The EXIF time /day of the week is possible from that ing ago - the 09:20 (Melksham) to Swindon ... becoming the Cheltenham Spa train at Swindon.
