3. Uyuni, in southwestern Bolivia, left there when the mining industry collapsed c1950

[froome]

Well 7 must be France (unless that train has slipped over a border somewhere). I have spent many hours waiting for trains at stations that looked just like that.

Was also featured in "Race across the World" on BBC2 the weekend before last.

A wild guess for No.6 due to subterranian appearance - Penn Station, New York?

[grahame]

All correct so far ... answers coming quicker than I can acknowledge each individually!

possibly New Romney?

No. 1 New Zealand it's the sort of thing they do over there.

8. As it says on the front, Feve (though that one doesn't also say Renfe on the side). So a funny little narrow-gauge train in northern Spain, and that image (easy enough to find) self-identifies as between Oviedo and Llanes.
