Nearly all taken in FGW▸ (First Great Western) land with the odd curve-ball. Usual rule - one guess each for the first 24 hours. Thanks.

1.  Exeter St Davids.  Embarrassed
Logged
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.

6. Taken on one of the FGW▸ (First Great Western) loco-hauled sets (that's an ex-Anglia safety poster, so it would be the teal/white set). Somewhere between Cardiff and Taunton or Paignton...?!

Reckon I can do 2, 4 and 5 as well, but will refrain from being a sm*rt*rse just for the moment...

1. Correctly answered by Chris from Nailsea
6. Good enough answer by inspector_blakey. Taken aboard the 1247 PGN-CDF» (Cardiff - next trains) somewhere near Tiverton I think.

Cholsey?

Certainly the same design of waiting rooms and I did think that the station buildings visible on the island didn't look very Didcot like!


3 looks slightly like Patchway to me and is on the route of the loco hauled set (since I can see the Mk2▸ (Mark 2 coach) light style reflected in the window  Cheesy)

It's the road bridge over the tracks at Yatton - used to get to the opposite platform, avoiding the steps on the footbridge, by those with particularly heavy luggage...  Wink Cheesy Grin
