I think it is a Transpennine Express livery (from the pre-First days), which would make Newcastle or York possibilities but the roof just doesn't seem right or it could be a TPE▸ station I haven't been too like Hull or Huddersfield?
It could well be TransPennine colours ... but do remember that you could catch trains in TransPennine colours from Dilton Marsh for a while. (By the way - it's none of the places you mentioned, nor particularly close to them, nor is it Dilton Marsh  ) |

The livery on the 158 in picture 9 looks like an old TransPennine scheme with the addition of the old Central Trains stylised 'C'.
I'm still stumped as to the location though!

6. Is this a section of line between Frome and Radstock, beyond the junction for Whatley Quarry?

Ah ... those 158s get all over the place, don't they?
When I posted No. 9, I thought "this is going to be surprisingly difficult for a big station" ... I'm fully expecting No. 6 to be the last to go; sorry - it's not Frome / Radstock, but there is certainly talk of putting trains back on it ...

Wild guess - but Liverpool Lime Street? Trans Penine go from there and that could be one of the non gated platforms And I know they do use those barriers (or used to) to corrall the football crowds |

Norwich...?
It looks like quite a distinctive station roof, but definitely not one that I recognize so I'm just guessing.
BTW▸ , and just for a bit of "happy new year"-style pedantry, the livery isn't Transpennine, it's the original maroon "Northern Spirit" livery with the big gold "N". Arriva (when they opearted Arriva TRains Northern) never did much in the way of repainting but TPEx applied the navy-blue vinyl strip on the lower half of the body sides.

Ah but the maroon sets did have ' transpenninexpress' written on them, so, back atcha pedentry. TPE▸ was a sub-brand of Northern Spirit then Arriva Trains Northern. Having looked a bit closer at pic 9 (not easy!) It appears that a maroon panel has been added under the window line cutting off the lower half of the gold 'N'. I suspect that on this maroon panel will be the words 'East Midlands Trains' Will that help with the location grahame? |

However blakey I concur with your guess of Norwich for pic 9.
