7 looks very familiar but I do not frequent many stations served by South West Trains.

I do enjoy a good kipper (of red variety) now and then.

12 is maybe Chippenham? - that pillar, colour scheme and thickness of yellow line are right but I cannot picture the help point in that location.

Although sorry if that counts as a second guess Sad

A tricky one, correctly identified. From the stairs, I think.

You're a pedant after my own heart - I know you've a good guess about another picture.  The rule should say "do not post more that 1 guess" rather than "do not make more than 1 guess".   I suspect others may have guessed multiple pictures and just posted one answer, and that's fine!  Grin

No. 7 is indeed Melksham ... the SWT (South West Trains) hire-in unit running an FGW (First Great Western) service to Cheltenham Spa

But, sorry, no. 11 is Deansgate ...

Just no. 11 to go and far and away the hardest. Have a treat; stare and you may see it.

It's that red PIS (Passenger Information System) that's bugging me - I know I've seen one like that somewhere before. I'd take a stab at Stratford International but not with any certainty...

I'm afraid you're correct to be uncertain ... you've clearly picked up the international flavour though.
