3.  Bradford North Junction.

It's a Bradford Junction but I get confused as to which is which.   I think the one in the picture is plain Ole Bradford Junction, with Bradford West Junction to the North West of it, though still to the east of Bradford-on-Avon and Bradford North Junction to the North East, though still a smidgin to the South of Bradford-on-Avon and well to its East.

When the picture was taken, wasn't it Bradford South Junction?

Like Merthyr Imp, my first thought for 6 was Kings Cross, but I now believe it’s the west end of Edinburgh Waverley.

Your new belief is right - it's Ednburgh Waverley.

Which leaves just no. 5 unidentified

Left hand side of 5. seems to have DC (Direct Current) third rail. Big layout so I’m guessing Victoria in transition.
