6. Looks like Flam in Norway, which is the terminus of the Flam branch railway down from the main line in the hills. Tip: if you sail in to Flam you should get up early and get to the station in time for the first train of the day and buy an ordinary ticket, which is cheaper than booking a group excursion from the ship.

Close, but no cigar. The tip is a good one in many places - use the local services slightly away from the tourism peaks. Just the same for the "Glacier Express" with a chance to break journey at places like Disentis and Andermatt along the way ... and come 2028 will we be able to do a day out to Minehead arriving on the early service train and leaving at the end of a wonderful day ... sorry - dreaming on that one. |

Trowbridge - brooklea 9. Ashley Down - Red Squirrel 11. Chippenham - stuving 1. Melksham - ellendune Yes, all my pictures as was suggested earlier, but a bit more of a link / correlation too |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.
