[edit] Fair use in Blacon railway station

  1. the photo is only being used for informational purposes.

The image has been displayed on the http://www.bwpics.co.uk/railstroll/rail18.html website for several years, after a resident sent in to the site for publication. The picture owner/photographer's details are not available and it (the copyright) would appear to be in the public domain due to it's uncontested use in the same (internet) medium for many years.
