Study the picture and what I used to cheat should stand out Tongue It would be obvious if I said it.

Doh!  14.  Maiden Newton.  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.

And finally.....

14. Correct. Maiden Newton. Chris from Nailsea.

Well done to all who took part. You remain a knowledgeable bunch who obviously take note of their surroundings when travelling on the rail network.

Gonna have to make the next picture quiz a lot tougher!
