2. The woefully restricted access on the bus stop on Shurngold, Melksham - just north of the railway station, as the crow flies, but a significant hike if you are on foot. No wheelchair access.

6. looks all shiny and new! I wonder, could that be Beaulieu Park?

So far
1. Stratford (not-upon-Avon) - eightonedee
2. Melksham - ChrisfromNailsea
Indeed, this is the nearest bus stop "for" the station; it's a 6 or 7 minute walk (physically quite close but no direct route) and involves crossing a busy "A" road with no pedestrian crossing.
6. Beaulieu Park - stuving
No lifts / slopes on this bridge - so it must be the secondary way between platforms with another route available. The width of the steps looks astonising - very optimistic? -
8. Paddington - Oxonhutch

I was on the point of posting exactly what Oxonhutch did.

4. Oxford. An unfamiliar livery, on a poor little unloved EWR unit wondering if it will ever get a chance to run in service before it's given a more garish makeover.
