It never ceases to amaze me how members can identify locations even when most of the picture frame is taken up by a train. Try these - as ever, one each please for the first 24 hours

1. Barnham - paul7575


2. Coventry - Timmer


3. Asturias area, Spain - bradshaw
It's Pravia (you're right in the region) overlaid on Barcelona Sans
(inner picture - others welcome to come up with town name and identity outer picture)


4. Fishguard Harbour - Oxonhutch


5. Manulla Junction - Rob on the hill


6. Crewe - Merthyr Imp


7. Taunton - ChrisB


8. Harpenden - stuving


9. Wernigerode - eightonedee


10.Melksham - rogerw


11. Donnafugata station, Sicily - Bob_Blakey


12. Stansted Airport - Timmer


13. Zidani Most - Bob_Blakey

1. Is it Barnham P3? The down loop or Bognor Regis platform.

14.  Portway Parkway,  I think that I was standing a few feet behind the chap in the picture at the time.


Edit:  As per ChrisB's correction below, it is off course Portway Park and Ride.  Senior moment there.
