    1/52 and 25/52 are at Georgemas Jct -- the 24 is on the curve heading for Thurso.
    3/52 is Thurso -- suspect this is the same loco as in 25/52, - the Wick platform is I think wider.
    5/52 - you have labelled as Oxford Road - More likely London Road ie: Manchester Piccadilly .
    49/52 -- 99% certain this too is Piccadilly.
    2/52 is Inverness, the train is passing Welsh's bridge box to enter the station.
    26/52 is a class 26 - D5334, the carriage shed in the background also looks like Inverness.
    44/52 is also Inverness, the houses on the hill are in Crown Drive and the white building still exists as a furnishings shop.

    Cheers

    https://railway-photography.smugmug...cations-to-ID/LOCATIONS-TO-IDENTIFY/i-rrDQFGr = Wick -- Sorry Fred - this is definitely Thurso, Wick has a loading dock on the second road into the trainshed. In addition the boarding above the tracks at Wick is straight and at Thurso is curved as in this shot.
