I'll go for the obvious. 14 is the new Go-op link to Minehead at Taunton?  |

All three correct. Sorry - no. 14 is nowhere near Minehead, though. |

My memory may be somewhat erratic (to say the least), but for no. 19 it tells me "I've seen that before" and also "wasn't it in Norway?" And it was right on both counts - in a previous quiz it was one of the ones no-one got, so the answer had to be provided: "Norway - Aldesnes". So it's Andalsnes, almost as spelled by a Norwegian (who'd like to put a loop on top of the first A). |

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Lots looking good - these are correct:
9 - Okehampton - AMLAG
17 - Melksham - ellendune
8 - Crowcombe Heathfield - bignosemac
19 - Andalsnes - stuving
4 is Abermaw, or Y Bermo, or Barmouth - brooklea
16 - New York, World Trade Center - TonyK
Somewhat tongue in cheek suggestions of Minehead and Bristol Parkway are fun but wrong.
Stop press - yes - 5 is Peterborough - eightonedee

2 does look like it could just be Hamburg Hauptbahnhof.
