Yesterday's picture has confirmed the two countries I'm visiting for a holiday.
Here's a couple stations and a 'railway' location we visited today. One guess each.

4. This is the start of a railway overbridge. What's the location and what's it's TV▸ drama significance?

3. I know, but again I cheated, so I won't answer here yet.  |

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.

Okay. It's been 24 hours. Free for all.
Some clues:
1. Yes, we had a lovely time the day we went here.
2. Double Masters.
3. (Yours CfN▸ )
4. Hastings - Like the battle.

1. Bangor. That's the one in Northern Ireland, not the one in North West Wales - which I have actually visited, when our daughter was at University there. |

Sorry, I've just noticed that I was given a 'free entry' to actually name another one. 3. City Hospital station, Belfast. |

I guess Northern Irish rail locations are a bit of a blind spot for the forum's collective wisdom, so here's the answers.
1. Bangor, County Down (CfN▸ )
2. Holywood. Home of two time Masters golf winner, Rory McIlroy.
3. City Hospital, Belfast (CfN)
4. Tates Avenue, Belfast. An overbridge crossing the Belfast-Dublin line. This location was used to film the denouement of series 3 of the BBC» 's excellent police procedural, 'Line of Duty'. Where DC▸ Kate Fleming confronted bent copper DI Matthew 'Dot' Cottan. The earlier clue was one of lead character Supt Ted Hasting's turns of phrases. 'Line of Duty' is set in a fictional English police force area, Central Police, but largely filmed in Belfast.
The location where DC Fleming confronts DI Cottan and she is knocked over by an OCG black Range Rover.

And where her excellent markmanship takes out DI Cottan's OCG driver, from 200m away. The Range Rover crossing the top of the street in the top image.
