You are - very - close.  If you had said less, I would have replied "yes"!

Yes, indeed  Grin  ... Circle and District line (northeast bound platform).   The platform we all used to use in the good old days when "Circle" meant circle!

Just two to get

24 hours is up ... and I know that some of you who have already identified one place will be able to tell me where the remaining two photos were taken!

Looks like some clues may be needed ... photo 6 was taken on the same trip that included Ashby-de-la-Zouch, and photo 10 was taken on the same trip that included Rotterdam Centraal.  However, both photos 6 and 10 were taken at currently operational National Rail stations in GB▸ (Great Britain), unlike Ashby-de-la-Zouch (not operational) and Rotterdam (not Great Britain)

Yes, correct ... not a station I can recall using for many years.   A Brush 47 (?) was parked up on a nice rake of pullmans just to the east of the station, and I took this quick pic in the minute of two I was to wait for the train that was heading to Reading

Yes?  ... Oh - I misread that - I though you wrote "Graham" ;-) ...

Sorry - it's not Grantham.  More in the area that I think of as East Troutshire, so perhaps our expert on journeys from Frome to the far east of England will be able to tell us. Remember too - on the same trip as Rotterdam.

Could it be the station formerly known as Harwich Parkeston Quay? Now Harwich International (HPQ).

You are very much on the right lines, and indeed I was at HPQ a while before I took the picture that I posted.

Interesting how the railways are embracing International when over the last few years airports have realised what a pointless word it is and dropped it (eg Bristol, Cardiff). Why not Fishguard International or Holyhead International?  And it's only the British section of Eurostar services that names its stations International.
