Here are the 11 that were identified last night - wow ....

1 Starcross - PhilWakely
2 Weymouth - paul7575
7 Exmouth - lympstone_commuter
10 Bathampton Junction - Timmer
12 Worcester Foregate Street - ChrisB
14 Bere Alston - eightonedee
15 Bristol Temple Meads - Red Squirrel
16 Taunton - JayMac
17 Chepstow (Bridge) - TonyN
18 Okehampton - stuving
21 Penryn - bradshaw

Some great ideas from around the South West that could be replicated elsewhere and become more common:
1. A bus stop near the station (from Starcross)
7. A train to the seaside every half hour (from Exmouth)
15. A booking office (from Temple Meads)
18. A re-opened station (from Okehampton)
21. A passing loop with 2 platforms on the same side (from Penryn)
