1 must be on a HST▸ (High Speed Train (Inter City class 43 125 units)) route, as there is the bicycle sign for bikes to board a HST from.  Therefore, through process of elimination, the only single line HST route I can think of is the Cotswold line.  But I could be wrong

(1) is not the cotswolds line unless its a halt

(3) Those yellow rails look similar to those at morton in marsh (well I saw it and thought morton until I realised they were at the end of a platform!) - but there is something bright thqt catches my eye there

I have inspected them all very closely, and I can confirm that none of them are Taunton.  Lips sealed 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.
