A single part question today, some insets to find, and there is a further bonus point for working out why the main location was chosen today:  *Click for a larger version* For ease, the insets are numbered according to the diagram below  |

Inset 2 is the view southwest from Caernarfon Castle. Now considering where I live - I looked at that picture and couldn't place it! Whoops! |

I'm presuming there is a typo above.... Anyhow, only an inset has been worked out, so still all to play for. Your clues and answers are: Main:  Inset 1:  Inset 2:  Inset 3: River Seiont from Caernarfon Castle, North Wales  *Click any image for a larger version* |

Apologies, I did mean inset 3! Is inset 2 Brodick Castle, Arran?

I have to confess that I see the pictures long before they are posted here, and although I was in the right Country with my guess, I was even further out than that! That said, I once submitted a picture of Sleaford station and failed to recognise it, and also missed one of Lincoln where I live and use the station on a regular basis.  |

My new guess for the main is Uxbridge.

The main is Amersham - the hoardings by the mirror at the north end of the northbound platform on 5th October 2009.

The annoying thing is, I *should* know number 2, but I can't place it at the moment  |

Spot on Possetpal, well done.
Now just need to identify why I chose Amersham to appear on the 10th of September.

Hmmm... 1961 saw the end of the Aylesbury service - could be that I guess.
