Kings Lynn?

A 317/5 at King's Lynn, very doubtful, especially as these units now don't have any FC!

317/5s are progressively having thier first class sections declassified, some have been done, some still ahve to be converted. I don't know which have been done and which haven't!

No takers on my picture then?

The station name is visible so it shouldn't be that hard

Purple Paupers now run most if not all Hertford East trains, as since the new timetable Hertford East trains (on Mon-Sat) are routed via Tottenham Hale (not Seven Sisters as previously). This change has made some 317's into a /5 subclass which are all standard class only.
The 315s are now increasingly concentrated on trains via Seven Sisters and to Chingford (not often you get a 317 up the Chingford line in service nowdays.)

Near Tapnage Tunnel I think.
Hmm, so that's why you wanted it hosted! I think it is above a tunnel whilst Eastleigh p-way were hard at work (having a picnic).
I think it is on the Eastleigh to Fareham line as that is the only single electrified line I can think of that you would have a reason to be around as it is under the control of Eastleigh P-way. As Thomas has already said Tapnage Tunnel (81.35-81.40) I will say it is Fareham Tunnel No.2 (83.21-83.46) as Fareham No.1 (83.12-83.20) just carries the M27 IIRC(?). These are the only other tunnels on the Knole single. I suppose you are going to tell me that there is a Fareham gang and they do the Fareham tunnels...
Just over two years ago a contractor was killed in No.2 tunnel. Details about the recommendations etc are on the RSSB site http://www.rssb.co.uk/fareham.asp
As for the other image, is it Southampton tunnel?

It's good, but it's obviously not your natural answer because you've quoted mileages and refered to that obscure contractor thing
It's Highlands road looking towards Fareham junction. Keep the picture for reference because the line is being converted to a new type of 4th rail electrification, photos when i get time...

Plus I never knew the Croxley Branch was electrified at 750V DC...

Can't see any holes for neggie insulators - could be wrong though.

That site has another new domain...Seth said:
Well according to UH http://underground-history.co.uk/croxley.php
It should be 4th rail as it was part of the Bakerloo? Don't quote me on it though.
EDIT: Maybe not, looks like that was only ever served by mainline although one of the top pictures show the branch from the mainline clearly with a 4th rail.
