FallenAngel was getting fairly close with Nwebury/Basingstoke area...

Thatcham?

The road in background might be going to the industrial estate. I'm really taking random stabs in the dark now..

OK, one to start things off (I need to go in a minute anyway...)

It's an FGW (First Great Western)-managed station that's west of Swindon. So categorically nothing to do with the Thames Valley by any stretch of the imagination this time  Wink

Spot on!

And on behalf of FallenAngel who's having bandwidth issues, can anyone suggest which station she might have been through on her travels that's giving her a serious sense of deja vu with picture 3?

Possible routes are:
Ludlow - Swansea
Ludlow - Manchester
Crewew - Liverpool
Ludlow - Chester
Hereford - Paddington
Newport - Paddington
Kidderminster - Moor Street
New Street - Liverpool
New Street - London (stopping)
Shrewsbury - Birmingham

No 2; lucky guess. Now for the blurred 'poxy' loco (fast train or slow camera?!?)

34067 Tangmere?

Well done sir! Dodgy photo is down to slow camera I think. I was being picked up from Keynsham that morning to be met by a welcoming committee instead of the usual one person. Turned out they'd all got wind of 34067 coming though and had nipped down the road for a photo, so I got out my camera in a hurry with the p*ss-poor result you see. It was a generally grey, damp morning and for a Southern loco Tangmere was doing quite a good job.

Now, for an extra bonus point name the clown in the blue shirt talking to the orange box at Newbury Racecourse. Shouldn't be too difficult...

Yerself? Or one of the other mods? Difficult to work out a person's 'clown'-ness from a pic!
