| A week back in the UK Posted by grahame at 08:27, 23rd May 2026 |     |
Back in the UK last Monday ... and although it's only Saturday, what a variety I have seen in public transport in just five days ... my arrival ...
and some places I have been, or seen out of the window.
1. Stratford - eightonedee
2. Melksham - Chris from Nailsea
3. Swindon - Fleming Way - Oxonhutch
4. Oxford - stuving
5.
6. Beaulieu Park - stuving
7. Trowbridge - RobT
8. Paddington - Oxonhutch
9. Parkstone Quay - TonyN (a.k.a Harwich International)
Also seen this one, but as it's already been seen in another thread ...

8: Paddington

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

Under the 24 hr rule, can I please add
3: Fleming Way, Swindon.

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.

7. Trowbridge.

Glad to see that there is more dark, than light blue; but then I might be biased.
