O Yes, well done. It's Bolton Abbey station on the Embasy and Bolton Abbey Steam railway (not the Wensleydale which is near Northallerton). When we visited, we were shown in the boxes at Embasy and Bolton Abbey by very friendly but knowledgable volunteers. Les well known than the Worth Valley Railway it's still a good one.
Hopefully B will be identified soon. Its further North than Embasy at a very famous heritage site with several railways not interconnected and starts with B! The railways have all been built from scratch there, they aren't authentic routes. Other guided transport as well. I've practically identified it now. Something in that should give a clue to F as well.

I haven't seen D mentioned yet which is the Great Orme Tramway in Llandudno. Tram No. 7 is on the summit section and the fuzzy inside picture is the halfway winding house. The tramway being in two halves with passengers walking between the two.
My apologies I missed D on the outstanding list. And YES it is the tramway and the winding house. Llandudno station is also one that I like! That leaves: Still to do BF▸ GK RB and O are in the Northern part of England F is in the Midlands G is north of the M4 R is north of the M4 and in Wales K is definitely in the GWR▸ area
Also to help, B and F letters are relevant pointers to the site name

P yes There is an amazing under ground area under the station. Another interesting area is under the old terminal station. I went on an organised tour of both, must be 8 or 9 years ago now. We were told that it was used as a route to bus replacement buses at that time, don't know whether that is still the case. The wartime training area has been left as it was then.

Q yes, Haverthwaite, about 25 years ago! H yes, Crewe (not York). the station was shown to help identify it. The event was the Great Gathering of steam at Crewe Works 2005 L yes, Millers Dale. Amazing that a second viaduct was built there just to accomodate the capacity. An excellent teashop on site now! P no, not Glasgow but yes an undercroft, much further South and in GWR▸ territory
Well done L, H and Q
Still to do BF▸ GI KP R
B and O are in the Northern part of England G and I are north of the M4 R is north of the M4 and in Wales P and K are definitely in the GWR area
Suggest the one answer limit now removed, so answer as many as you can do.

C yes M yes, a fascinating place, and yes Grahame, please use as you wish, I may have other similar ones A yes, all 4, unfortunately the museum at Peel was closed on that day, but we did have good walk from Douglas for a couple of km along the route to St Johns/Peel. 5 day pass for all transport and museums on the island very good value was about 6 years ago. Also interesting route by plane from Gloucester! E yes, well done. it was a coincidence, in evening after seeing the work on Russell in the workshops on WHHR, we walked down the route of the line where a loco was being offloaded.
I'm impressed by all the identifications, particularly of E and M.
