Oh, no ...
I had a paper copy of grahame's whole itinerary for that recent excursion - but I left it behind in Melksham. 
However: 1. Rhymney station.

I have been to Wales multiple times though - unlike Croatia which I have only visited once. So the itinerary would not be entirely helpful. Yes, No. 1 is Rhymney.

No. 5 has a LNWR signalbox - so somewhere on the Heart of Wales line.

4. Llandudno

Haha! Bridge: tick. Two lines converge: tick. Buffer stops: tick. Graffiti: tick. A case of "All the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order."
Below: Carmarthen...

& a classic case of seeing what I expected to see in a photo rather than what was actually in Graham's photo - where there are no buffer stops.

Sorry - it isn't. Sudbrook is on my "wanna visit" list mind, so may crop up in a future quiz.

Is 10. Swansea?
I can’t think of many locations where you would see a Class 150 sharing a platform with a Class 197.

Yes, it is.
I wondered whether to use that picture as some sort of caption competition - in speech bubbles, what might the two trains be saying to each other?

I will confess to having some insider information here, as I do know the main purpose of grahame's recent visit to Wales.
7. Ruthin. More specifically, Railway Terrace, Station Road, in Ruthin. See https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/ll15-1bt.html
By the way, it's spelled Ruthin but pronounced 'Rithin'.
| Re: Where in Wales? Quiz! Posted by Chris from Nailsea at 06:57, 4th March 2026 | |
9. The best I can offer is Penarth - I'm ready to be shot down, however it's pronounced.
