Looks a bit like Matlock, never been on the line but have been over the bridge in the distance a few times.

Both correct, a whole four minutes. I must make them harder.

You seem to be struggling with PGB08, here are a couple more pictures from the same location.





Good luck guessing,

Peter.

A minaret by the looks... somewhere in former Yugoslavia?

That's a bit broad... Bosnia perhaps, or maybe even Kosovo.

STEA2 is Lancaster
STEA3 looks like Rugby
STEA4 is Preston
STEA7 looks like Crewe

There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

STEA9 reminds me of somewhere around Tebay and a disused viaduct you can see heading off eastwards towards Appleby if I recall correctly. It's years since I've been up the WCML.

Getting there, I'll leave it open and see if anyone can narrow it down further.

5. Correct
6. Nope
8. Correct, it's the old Steamtown complex, now owned by the West Coast Rail Company. Photo taken from one of the Down Goods Loops while picking up water on a charter.

No, its not former Yugoslavia, but you are getting warmer. The sign on the wall next to the water column is the the country's flag in a heart shape (because they love their country).

Keep trying,

Peter.

Low Gill (Ghyll) viaduct. Just south of Tebay. Where the line from Clapham Junction joined the WCML. That's THE Clapham Junction. Not that imposter, down near the village of London!
