I cannot see the first a Toller since the platform face in the photo is made of brick whereas Toller was of stone. The line also seems to have been double at one time where as Toller was not.

Yes ... don't I know it.

Regular readers will know, I have an appalling track record of identifying anywhere around Taunton. 
A track record of not identifying track then.

And the first picture is Toller, logically enough. Comparing with the pictures on Disused Stations at closure, the colourisation does make the walls in particular look much cleaner and freshly painted than they really were!

My guess for the second one would be Powerstock. No idea on the first
Indeed it is - taken through the rear cab of the unit headed for Bridport.

The first image has an air of Stogumber on the West Somerset Railway about it - but that's not an official answer: I don't think it is, actually.

That's exactly what I was just typing: really struggling with the first one.

I think first one is near Chetnole, second one near Seend
I would hazard a guess (from the vegetation, which isn't out of control) around 1967

I may have mentioned elsewhere that I am attempting to resurrect some old damaged B&W negatives using various bits of software. Here are a couple, which I am reasonably pleased with. The AI process may have made some small alterations, but the scene is essentially correct.
So, where was I when these two photos were taken. A bonus point for the 'when'
