Some more from the I don't know where it is collection!

Some more images that I have no idea where they are. Any help gratefully received.

Additionally one of the previous 'Where is it?' blog items is now fully solved and can be reached by clicking here, thanks to those who contributed with information.
1. HST Maintenance. The neg is a bit too grainy to see the power car number.
19/03/2014. The first suggestion has been Old Oak Common, and another Derby Works, and other clues out there?

47709 Haymarket Tunnel
2. 47709, date and location unknown. Anyone with any clues please?
19/03/2013. Update. Confirmed as the East end of Haymarket tunnel and most likely an Aberdeen to Edinburgh service. Thanks for the info.

10001 LMS
3. LMS/BR English Electric powered prototype10001, again date and location unknown. Could it be Camden Loco or Derby Works?

Class 24/25 at Forres South
4. Signalman and driver exchanging a single line token. I'm not sure if this is a class 24 or class 25, but I'm taking a stab it's somewhere in Scotland. The first three letters of the name on the signalbox are 'FOR', the water crane hose obscures the rest of the name. A fine signal gantry is just the other side of the bridge appearing to have three routes that can be taken.
19/03/2013. Update. Confirmed as Forres. The signalbox if Forres South box and the train is coming from the now closed line to Aviemore.

Cynghordy viaduct on the Central Wales line
5. A fine viaduct on a single line railway.
19/03/2014. Update, confirmed as Cynghordy viaduct on the Central Wales line. Thanks for the info.


6. A steam shed with an Eastern Region feel. Either a class 15 or 16 in the new diesel shed to the left. Devon's Road or Stratford are my initial thoughts.

Bristol East Yard
7. Quite a busy freight yard, a quick scan looks like 50% of the roads nearest the camera have rolling stock in them. The roads farthest from the camera look pretty much empty. Signalling is semaphore and just visible to the right is a signalbox on stilts in the air. The background skyline looks quite in industrial.
19/03/2014 update. Now identified as Bristol East Yard, also known as Bristol East Depot these days. The sidings nearest are still in use, as is the main line but the Up sidings in the background are long gone. Thanks to those who contributed.

Healey Mills Yard
8. A yard in decline. A pair of snowploughs in the middle distance and what appears to be a diesel servicing facility in the middle background.
19/03/2014. Update now confirmed as Healey Mills Yard, thanks for the info.
Padstow station after closure
9. A closed station with road vehicles having taken over the trackbed and a boat the platform! The green coach is by Southern National which might give a clue to the area.
19/03/2013. Update. Confirmed as Padstow, and still there! Thanks to those who identified this one.
