Can I have the bonus point for naming the person in picture 7 ... or is the bonus just for naming the cat?

Correct. And bonus point for either!

I've got a feeling that number 1 is Didcot Parkway, not Newport.  The waiting room, customer help desk, WHSmith and toilet block at the top of the stairs on Platforms 2/3.  Taken a few years ago mind you.

Correct. But only taken in September this year. Some last remnant of FGW▸ (First Great Western)'s former colours, inherited from GWT.
