I'm not allowed another guess, but I think I've worked out 18, becoming terminally confused in the process.

Sorry, no.

13 - Littlehampton  Grin  (Think some editing may have been required)

Correct! Just a little edit to blank a station name sign.

17 - take a stab at Honiton.
Sorry, no

Correct! One very big little boy was made very happy when the the driver said, "come on up." Didn't touch anything, although I was very tempted to flick the two-tone.

Correct! With image mirrored to have the double arrows face their more usual direction. The logo is of course in the correct orientation when viewed from outside the booking hall.

Correct! I'm surprised this one generated a couple of incorrect guesses. There's a picture of Blackpool Tower on one of the hanging banners!

I did not know that I thought the bit shown was entirely from the 1974 rebuild. Are any 1930's bits visible in that photo?

I may be mistaken but I'm sure I read somewhere (I have a vague memory from early 2000s of sheltering from weather in Blackpool library reading local history) that the 1974 rebuild of Blackpool North used the concrete frame of the 1930s excursion platforms building.

These excursion platforms became the main station in 1974 following demolition of the original station building which extended further down Talbot Road.

There's pictures of that around - like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/96859208@N07/9501943965/

But I just relied on that banner to find it.
