A real guess on this one Neil, but the signal box ( & possibly the background properties) vaguely remind me of a photo I once saw somewhere, taken at Marylebone (with M'bone Station signal box). ......

Definitely Marylebone station for the first one.

Interesting positioning of the set number on the GC stock.

On that photo (5129 late 1930s) which shows coaching set MB12, the Robinson anti-telescoping device shows up well, at the lower portion of the coach end.
