Another where is it set

As ever I am extremely grateful for any assistance in identifying the locations of these images.

1. A nice single storey station building.  It looks like the photo was taken from another platform so double track through the station at least.
Update 03/08/2014 Is this a Midland Railway design?


2. This is from the camera of Donald Luscombe who I believe was mainly active in Scotland. Someone's washing hanging under the canopy and appears to be single track.

3. I'm not sure if the building is a station, but the railway interest in the foreground is Bass wagons with timber of some sort and at middle right the start of a platform ramp.
4. An unidentified class 47 at the head of 1M06 which appears to be 12 coaches. It appears to be a 4 track main line with telegraph poles still in place.

4a. Possibly looking in the opposite direction to image 4, does this help?

Class 47 D1916 and others on shed
5. Apologies for the quality, this is from a very scratched negative. Three class 47s and glimpses of a 350 shunter and a class 25 on shed at a steam location that's falling apart by the looks of it. The smokebox of one of the old order just visible to the right. The nearest 47 is D1916 which www.class47.co.uk indicates was new to 86A (Ebbw Junction) in November 1965 then transferred to Cardiff Canton in May 1973. Still around as 47812.

6. Another Donald Luscombe image. Looking from an overbridge towards a station that consists of an island platform that has a steam hauled goods train passing through. There are some sidings, but they are mainly empty. A line appears to curve around from the left side of the station and join the line on the overbridge. Is the upright on the left border of the image an overhead line support?

Tyneside Electric
7. A job lot of black and white negatives that I purchased included some quite tired portrayals of Tyneside electric stock. I think it is 1937 stock, but I don't have the location.

8. I don't think this is an aqueduct as there is a speed cutout amongst the ironwork on the viaduct. The ironwork on goes part way across the viaduct.
9. It's the end of the line somewhere.

10. Final one for tonight. Looking forward from the front of a DMU as it passes over water troughs. Troughs present in both direction on this double track railway.
