Somewhere with a big motorway viaduct in the background that was there by 72.

One more for today....

The only info is the name of the engine, 45254 and nothing else....

Looking at the signals and wooden building I'd say somewhere L.N.W. Taking a wild stab perhaps Birmingham New Street?

Top one looks like the Dundee area, probably around Magdalen Yard; this being the area where the Tay Bridge (rail) rises above ground level, the road in the background being the Tay Road Bridge.

More like Manchester Central (CLC).

Although I am frequently wrong, I don't think that it resembles Manchester Central at all looking at the trainshed construction.

It's just clicked, Manchester Piccadilly, previously London Road with the through lines in the background.

I was going to ask if the first one somewhere between Sheffield and Rotherham near the M1. Just a wild guess to be honest.

No, I think that Jonny is quite correct in Saying Dundee; line towards Perth to the Left and towards the Tay Bridge on the viaduct.

Top one is, I'd agree, Dundee.

The one with the Black 5 in is the former Manchester London Road - now Piccadilly. The loco and train are on what is now platform 10.
