I have already used (and will continue to use) the very rough mini-survey at http://www.passenger.chat/22054 to inform what the passenger wants to see to make a better railway. I have posted onto FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/CoffeeShopCRP/posts/2437961583117613 . Can you identify the plsces I have chosen to feature in my pictures??

Yes ... purpose of the Facebook post was to draw in new viewers ... "where's this" is a useful aside Grin

Indeed so.   I didn't wait for the next train to call ... walked to Dinsdale!

I've just stumbled across this topic - as usual, while I was actually looking for something else Roll Eyes - and I noted that only three locations were identified originally.

2.  Salisbury.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) 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.

No - it isn't (no platform 1 at Salisbury in passenger use).  Looked like Westbury at first glance back to me, but I'm not convinced.  Is the loo sign in the wrong place?
