13.  Chathill?

Definitely the right “lean to” shape - on the Newcastle to Berwick section’s minor stations they usually seemed to spend all the money on one platform, and had a minimalist shack on the other side.   No relevance to which direction was most popular either, from what I remember.

Nope!

None at all!

Come tomorrow I may look to give some specific clues ... for the moment, let me tell you that five of the remaining nine to be identified are in the UK (United Kingdom), but all in places I have not been in over a year.  Perhaps everyone's memory fades ...

Oh thanks, I wasn’t really sure, I haven’t been there for ages.  Obviously had to be somewhere on the then LM (London Midland - recent franchise) network given the train livery and station signage.

Seven remain ... 7 hints but not saying which hint goes with which picture!

A town that still has a major terminal and a minor one too
Campaign to re-open another service from here
Fascinating place of historic hardware - far beyond just rail
Junction; tough choice which way to carry on for the leisure rider
New Station
Showing multiple gauges?
Station I used prior to another more convenient opening
