I came across these when browsing Britain from Above:

If you register you can zoom in on the shots - some of the locos are near-identifiable.

Very interesting - thanks for the photograph IDs.

For those concerned about carriage liveries, the date is 1947 and there are already re-varnished teak carriages with white roofs in view in the first and third photographs listed. Bomb damage to the station and in the vicinity is also noticeable.
