A bit of a mixed bag above, so let's see how you did Location A is not West Silvertown, this version may help  (click for a larger version) Background A: points to domh245, this is York railway station - platform 8 (I think) [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Location B: Sorry, not West Ham. Does this version help?  (click for a larger version) Background B: Try this view, it's not Killington Lane  (click for a larger version) Location C: Points to pib for spotting Elverson Road - ramp to southbound [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Background C: No attempts, try this version for size:  (click for a larger version) Location D: More points for domh245: Earls Court - Clock without hands at passageway towards exit to Warwick road [Caravelle]  (click for a larger version) Background D: Points to @81stock for identifying this: West Somerset Railway - Crowcombe Heathfield station from a departing westbound train [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) No attempts at the link or bonus question, so no points awarded there. |

background C looks like the North Yorkshire Moors Railway near the Grossmont station. Spot on. This is Grosmont yards/shed/workshop/sidings (I don't know which terminology they use). Inset B is not in Wales. |

Background B Lintley Station South Tyndale Railway looking south. Yes! The style and wording of the Stop board is a dead giveaway. |
