Foxlow Junction: 37501 passing Slitting Mill Crossing, north of Foxlow Junction, with a unit move from Soho to Gascoigne Wood on 7th January 2026.

Preston Riverside: I'm more used to seeing a saddle tank alongside the RSR water crane but from 6th to 10th January 2026 GBRf 66719 'Michael Portillo' was stabled at the head of the Rail 200 Inspiration train. It is good that the docks branch from Preston station has been maintained since the Colas bitumen trains ceased operating during 2025, allowing this visit to take place.

South Gyle: The bridge on Broomhouse Road, to the east of South Gyle station, has been demolished in January 2026. I'm not sure if it is being replaced due to its close proximity to the B701 Meadow Place Road bridge.

South Gyle: The bridge on South Gyle road has been demolished, leaving the new bridge which was laid over the old one in place. This view on 17th January 2026.

Hendon Central: Hendon Central, Northern Line Edgware branch, looking north, with trains of LU 1995 stock to Edgware calling [left] and en route to Morden via Bank arriving [right], at 13.46 on Saturday, 27th December 2025. This station opened on 16th November 1923 with the extension of the line from Golders Green before its final extension to Edgware on 18th August 1924. An extension beyond Edgware to Bushey Heath, planned in the 1930s, was begun but never completed.

Shaw Crossing: This is the restored crossing keeper's cottage at Shaw Crossing. The photograph is taken from the site of the level crossing and looks north east. It is typical of the crossing keepers' cottages on the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway. Shaw Farm is a little to the north.

Ashton Moss North Junction: In a shot thought to date from February 2002, 47747 heads for the Stockport line at Ashton Moss North Junction, with a service diverted off the WCML between Preston and Crewe.
