I've been missing for a bit. Does anyone know where I've been from these pictures?

1.



Unusual to be able to see a station and almost all of the route in one photograph.

2.



A gentle seaside view.

3.



Lighter rail for the lighter side.

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.

Not so far west, and the SVB isn't electrified yet .

1.  Lynmouth.

2.  Dawlish.

3.  Manchester.

Lynmouth is on the right track, so to speak, and Dawlish is the reason why I posted the second picture. Manchester's trams are yellow, and a bit younger.

It is a bit of a curve ball, to be sure. As for not taking me seriously, I was a little concerned that my recent change of forum moniker could have unintended effects! 😂

Good guess, young Squirrel! No malaise with you!



I shall wait a short while for the denouement to give others who may recognise either of the two other locations a chance. Then I shall explain myself.

You are not alone, I'm sure. Maybe that stretch of the SVB already looks like that in a parallel universe running a few decades fast.

It's so true, in that one Forest Green Rovers are Premiership champions and my Happy Hammers have won the World Cup... again! 😮

Out of interest, did you bump into any Bristolian politicians while you were out there?
