Ayr Station Hotel: I have been following the progress of destruction at Ayr but decided not to submit each and every development. However a landmark was reached towards the end of April as the 'Tower' is gone and the southmost part of the northern range is going. Note the bizarre survival of the painting on the wall.

Crianlarich: 37108 arrives at Crianlarich from Glasgow Queen Street, passing 20115 and 20202 on a freight service from Fort William. 37108 was the first boiler fitted 37 to work on the West Highland coming from Tinsley to Eastfield on 8th January 1978 to replace Class 27s. Most others came from March and Stratford depots, mainly from 1979 onwards. For a while 37108 was the only boiler fitted 37 working on the WHL. I'm unsure when it first ventured up the WHL, the earliest record I can find is the 25th May 1978.

Woodacre Crossing: From being almost a daily working, the Sellafield Crewe flask trains have reduced to occasional movements. On Saturday 9th March 2024, 68004 'Rapid' and 88005 'Minerva' took two flasks southbound, passing Woodacre almost an hour early. A friendly wave from the driver too as they passed under Delph Lane bridge.
