A NR themed photo for this round. Just to make it a bit harder, the main focus of the photo is a EWS "skip" (class 67 loco), no operator specific train in sight!

Well, surely that has to be platform XX at XX. I can't see anything else it could be.

I think I will enter this one, as it’s my favourite platform at one of my favourite stations.

Well, well, well, despite the EWS loco in the platform it didn't fool you at all as I got fourteen correct answers. However, most of you are techinically incorrect as the answer I wanted was London Waterloo (platform 19). This is because there is another NR station called "Waterloo" on the Merseyrail system. The term "Waterloo" however can apply to the LU part of the station but not to the NR section.
Since this is a London based quiz and we are Tube Challengers it is very understandable that we refer to it as plain "Waterloo" without second thought. Therefore because of this and the plethora of answers given with the word Waterloo in them, I am going to award everyone who gave me Waterloo as an answer as correct. These are as follows:
--Andi
--nozzacook
--perkyperky
--Lancaster Gate
--mps247
--editorsfoot
--starkey
--Dr Who
--jamesthgill
--garion24wales
--jbom1
--dudey
--tubeguru
--moley (only one who gave me the fuill name of London Waterloo).
there were two wrong answers:
--al (Charing X)
--barrykas (Newcastle)?!
Photo Quiz 6.10 will be posted within the next 20 minutes.

You'd even have accepted Waterloo East and Waterloo (Belgium)?

Waterloo East is defiantely not a valid answer, that is clearly a separate station and doersn't look like the main Waterloo (with former Eurostar shed visible)! Also Waterloo East is on station sugns just like taht thus is no confusion with the Waterloo in Merseyside.
It was quite clear from the answers given as to which Waterloo the correct answers were referring to (some even getting the correct platfrom number and some also noting the former Eurostar terminal).
