23.  Stogumber Station, West Somerset Railway.
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.

Correct.

That just leaves 12, 16, 20 & 21. I'll leave them a bit longer then maybe start giving clues.....

Well, yes to coming off the Bakerloo, but not Paddington. I think Paddington has been 'updated' to a 'National Rail' station. Only 17 years since British Rail was laid to rest yet still the odd sign lingers on!

Sorry, again no.

Looks like 21 needs a further clue. You'll find it between Northumberland Avenue and Bow Street.

16 is an indirect public entrance to a FGW▸ (First Great Western) terminus.

20 can be found in a waiting room at another FGW terminus.
