Welcome back! After a quick look in the pamphlet that came with my HSBC card, I have narrowed #2 down to any of 40,000 HSBC ATM▸ (Automated Teller Machine, or 'at the moment', depending on context) locations worldwide. I'm sure that will help someone  Cheesy

For some reason, whenever I see one of these picture quiz posts, I get the increasingly uneasy feeling that I'm missing something obvious ...  Cry

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.

You'd be correct in thinking that... Yes #2 is Taunton Wink

Just 4 & 7 Left... is another clue required...?

Well #7 I can get to in 1 Change from Westbury but it wouldn't be the most obvious route, yet is still valid on a NOT LONDON ticket Wink
