4  - you can still see the platforms are separated by a wide track bed. This is evidence of its broad gauge origins. The line from Yeovil Pen Mill to Evershot was doubled in 1859 to help with timekeeping over Evershot bank. The narrowing of the gauge took place in 1874, only Bruton shows the same width between platforms

No.19 Saltash.

Sorry - no.  Good thought though - and I spent more time in Saltash than any other Cornish town - just didn't include any picture from there!
