All photographs were taken "near a bridge, near the rail station." I'm sorry, but I will have to leave it to those that know the area to try and figure out the locations. I have listed them in the order that they were taken, and you will see that they are a mixture of companies and liveries, as I was not certain about ownership of some at the time. But now, with Ian's helpful info, I have given them at least names, although locale is still a mystery.
