Brian, way out with your locations.
The Peak (class 45) is Chesterfield, same as the previous shots of 25's, Peaks and Grids you've posted.
The 37 (not class 40 in either view) images are more interesting, the Location is Woodhouse, just south of Sheffield on the old GCR, at that time the Woodhead 1500V DC lines were still working or just closed but much of the infrastructure remained.
Woodhouse was the furthest southern point of the electrification, it didn't quite reach the station but stopped short ½ mile or so. The extra OHL from the Orgreave area sidings, they were split between Rotherwood exchange (BR/GCR lines) and Orgreaves reception and holding/sorting sidings (BR/NCB), was to allow class 76 to uncouple from south bound trains, cross over and head back to the northern end to take over a north bound train. Rotherwood being the exchange point between electrics and diesels on the GCR
If you look at the distant overall class 37 picture you can just see a large light grey overhead structure, that is the tie point for the southern limit of the overhead wires, just above that, and to the right a little, you can just make out much darker gantries for the powered section of the 1500V DC.
This is Woodhouse today, Tim would have been standing in the car park at the road junction I expect, the light grey gantry was between the station and the bridge girders you can see in the google view. The footbridge still stands.
The grassed hillock in the background to the right of the railway wasn't there back in the 80's, a lot of that area was the massive Rotherwood exchange sidings and reception sidings for Ogreaves colliery, once the pit closed and the exchange sidings ripped up the area was terra formed using old slag heaps and fresh top soil to something more pleasing to the eye.
In fact all the of grass area and lake was once part of the massive Orgreaves colliery. Alamy has a good shot showing the beautification of this area.

The GCR is the line on the left, the fresh green field with the letter 'a' (yes there are a few but the greenest area) is the site of Rotherwood exchange sidings (to the right of that would have been the NCB reception sidings). These ran from the road bridge just above the meadow to all the way down toward the housing estate at bottom left near the blue warehouse. There were additional NCB sidings north of the road bridge, the smaller blue buildings and waste land is the area they covered.
Orgreaves was open cast, many mines in this area were deep shaft, back in the day it looked like this.
You can see the blue warehouse (mid left) in the Almay image and cross reference it with the Google 3D view and then Tims image (which is black and white
).
They did pretty much the same at Wath and Tinsley, erasing hundreds of years of industrial heritage, both rail and coal.
(with apologies).
