I think I have walked under the bridge in inset four. Is it on the north side of the Thames, on the Thames Path between Richmond and Kingston, just after Marble Hill House?

I assume Inset 1 shows a mixed gauge railway line rather than a 3 rail electrified one. I suspect this is one of Dmitri's exotic ones - the roof water tanks suggest some where in the poorer parts of the Med. Perhaps an old Cyprus railway?

Inset 1 is by londonstuff not Dmitri. You are right to think of the eastern Mediterranean, but it's not Cypriot. I think it's mixed gauge but a two minute search hasn't confirmed that.

There is a christian cross on one of the buildings suggesting this is a coptic/orthodox country as opposed to Turkey which has become a little less multi-cultural of late. I doubt whether it is Egypt so somewhere in Greece or Crete perhaps.

It's been a long time since I was there but could it be Aleppo in Syria - it looks a bit too rough for Latakia [also in Syria]

It's not Syria, but that's the closest guess so far

Inching towards it hopefully - The Christian cross suggests it's not likely to be Gaza - Looks a bit too seedy for Israel so I'd plump for Beirut.
