Oh dear, what have I started?

As all the responses so far have been Scottish, it looks to me more like MorningSIDE Crescent.

I wonder if she's approaching Doncaster from the south. The track layout looks about right for steam days (it was much more spacious in the diesel days I know), curving away to the left. However, what makes me think Donny is simply the condition of the engine. Just marvel at it: no scrapes on the lamp brackets, not even a chip on the AWS bang plate and a shine on the AWS receiver. Were the recievers ever cleaned, even in Peter Townsend's heyday?

Sorry to interrupt chaps, but someone's asked a serious question here! The answer appears to be 'yes', because I think I happen to have some evidence (from 31st August 1961):

Sorry - perhaps I wasn't being very clear. The picture's intended to be a response to BB's last point (which I've highlighted) about the AWS receivers being cleaned - note the gleaming red cover beneath the glistening, swaying coupling link.

Hmm. Food for thought. Thanks for that, Guy. Seems like Mr T was more thorough than I thought.
