Finn stopped and looked. He didn't listen though, what with being Mutt n' Jeff.  Bonus point for the exact name of the crossing. |

For myself, I haven’t got a Scooby. But my son Robin thinks it’s in Cornwall…

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

Typical! , This one doesn't appear to be in my copy of "I-Spy Railway Foot Crossings".

Okay, I guess it's a tough one.
Clue: There's a river behind the IET▸ .

Let's see now. Is it one of those rivers that goes by the name of Avon?

Not a River Avon. It's a river with a different style or timbre. |

The invisible river is the Tone.
So Somerset in or about the Taunton area.

Yes. Finn wasn't far from his new home in Taunton. Now. Where is the crossing and what is it called? |

Ding ding ding. We have a winner! Quite why it's called 'Taunton 5 and 13' I've no idea. Also listed as 'Taunton 5/13'. I thought maybe it was a distance from a certain point, perhaps the station. But 5 chains and 13 yards is only 369ft. The station is about 3000ft away. |

Not a River Avon. It's a river with a different style or timbre. Ah yes. I saw what you did there but I clearly was in halfwit mode and the Tone didn't click! |
