Newbold [Tram]: Milnrow was the last station before Rochdale on the Oldham Loop railway but Metrolink conversion brought two new tram stops at Kingsway Business Park and Newbold. This is the latter, viewed from an approaching Rochdale bound tram on 12th February 2025. Immediately beyond the tram stop the line rises slightly to cross the A660 Milnrow Road and then the Network Rail line to the north of Rochdale station.

Bonnyrigg [PR]: Bonnyrigg goods shed in July 1969 looking south. Goods traffic at Bonnyrigg ended in January 1965 although it had been classed as an Unstaffed Public Siding since September 1962 when the passenger service was withdrawn. The passenger station was on the other side of the level crossing and the crossing keepers house can be seen on the right; the station building was beyond it on the same side. The line itself closed in March 1967 when freight traffic to Penicuik ceased.
