I'd say one is Bristol TM▸ (Train Manager, or Ticket Machine, or Temple Meads (Bristol), depending on context) but that bench looks a but errant?

Judging by the island platform I will therefore go with Chippenham?

Chippenham is correct - good logic!

Sorry, relex109, but I think we've established that the top one is Chippenham: good shout, devon_metro!  Wink

As to the others?  Sorry, I haven't a clue!   Grin

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.

Well spotted autotank I believe you are right there. DM▸ (Dilton Marsh), the crossing is at Jubilee Retail Park where McDonalds, KFC, Comet, B&Q and the main long stay Weymouth station car park can be found.

Yes ... the third is indeed Weymouth ... and with the first identified as Chippenham that just leaves the two daylight pictures - both at FGW▸ (First Great Western) operated stations - to be identified.

Sorry - I just noticed that there was a question / suggestion that the second one was on the Tarka▸ (Branch line from Barnstaple to Exeter) line. No, it isn't; I clipped the image to exclude some buildings on the left which show it to be very clearly urban rather than rural - here's hoping that's a clue to point you roughly in the right direction.

Correct for Montpelier.   But the final picture is not Highbridge (though you have the right county!)
