Andrew,

The design of the signal looks like Aviemore's up starting signal so I think we are probably somewhere in Scotland. The design of the building says Glasgow/Edinburgh.

The design of the hut says late 60's/early 70's before Portakabins can along. The outside frame means and location cabinets suggest that this is very temporary set up, possibly stageworks for a power signalling scheme. The middle doll must have had a short are so we are looking a equi-speed junction which had some sidings in the 'V'.

Am I warm?

Peter.
Peter apologies for the delayed response, I hadn't noticed your post.

You are correct about being north of the border and a temporary arrangement. Not quite scheme works as such as the original box burnt down before re-signalling. Final clue is that it is a terminus station.
Andrew,

Finally tracked it down to Largs.

Peter.

You see, from just the photos, I would have said that #1 was Ledbury as the HST stop boards there are very close together as well. I know it's Filton form the posts, but before reading them, I would have said Ledbury.
