Here are 12 pictures I took during 2019 - one in each month.  Can you identify which one was taken in which month (you are welcome to add location too - but this is a MONTH quiz).  Just one each to start please - let's see how this goes.

1. Clan Line - Westbury.    It was March (last month left!)


2. rogerw - Melksham, April


3. JontyMort - Dublin.  More specific - Stuving - Saggart, October


4. Stuving - September,  New York Subway


5. May,   Reading,         Ellendune - Community Rail in the City


6.    Yarmouth, Isle of Wight        CyclingSid 
November - Stuving


7. Bmblbzzz - Clifton Down
January eightonedee


8. Euston          PhilWakely - month still to be identified December


9. June   Middlesbrough      Smokey


10. Reginald25 - Weymouth, July


11. Froome - February; JontyMort - Melksham


12. Western Pathfinder - August; Clan Line - Tilshead

The following are correct ...

1   ****    Westbury      Clan Line - Westbury, but no month yet given
4   September   *****   Stuving - September, (but no location given)
5   May   Reading         Ellendune - Community Rail in the City
12   August   *****      Western Pathfinder - August (but not Warminster)

I have given myself a real challenge in correlating all the answers here.  Three of the months already identified (that's the main quiz), two bonuses of places already!

I would guess that No. 6 is Yarmouth (Old) station on the Isle of Wight.

Had to checkhttp://www.geograph.org.uk/browser/#!/q=Yarmouth+Isle+of+Wight/page=4/image=5953879 because it looks slightly different when you cycle by and your nose is about platform height.
