You have the major credit - we all knew you meant Chippenham.

4. Two possibilities come to mind depending on how recent the photo is.

Manchester?

I must admit it's not a piece of Manchester I'm familiar with, but I thought it must be either there or Birmingham which was my first thought.

Haven't a clue about the remaining pic but there's building work going on. So going to take a random stab at London Bridge. I'm sure there's lots of other stations having work done at the moment but London Bridge is the only one I can think of.

Exeter Central?

Alas, no ... this one's really difficult ... all pictures taken by myself in the last 18 months, and you need to bear in mind that I occasionally travel quite a distance.  A quick look and I've noted that I did blog this picture last year ... rail stuff archived via http://www.wellho.net/resources/Z501.html and http://www.wellho.net/resources/Z406.html

For some reason it brings to mind the Star Ferry Terminal in Hong Kong but... your archive gives it away: New York?

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
