Pretty sure No 2 is Westbury.  Notably on the day I was due to travel from Cosham to Bristol but couldn't as I couldn't get the car off the drive and there were no SVB line services in Bristol.

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.
