Bromley South: The Hastings diesel set 1013 was out on 17th January 2026, with a Railtour 'Remembering Rosemary' from Hastings to Windsor Riverside via Waterloo, seen here at the booked stop of Bromley South. It was very dull unfortunately. The weather did pick up later and perhaps I should have gone elsewhere to photograph the tour.

Appleby: Avanti West Coast Everos 805003 and 805013 pass through Appleby working the 1318 Carlisle to Preston WCML diversion on Saturday 10th January 2026.

Culgaith: 40157 heads north in May 1983 with the Appleby - Carlisle trip working and is about to enter Culgaith Tunnel. The signal box can be seen adjacent to the lorry which is on the level crossing and the former station building, closed in 1970, is on the remains of the up platform which has been partially removed.

Birmingham New Street: Something of a high contrast at New Street, between the lurid orange livery of the 12.50 to Hereford, and the grey and black tones in the background.

Inchgreen Graving Dock: Grab shot of the Cunarder 'Queen Elizabeth' at Greenock Dry Dock on a misty 4th January 1966. Photo taken from a Glasgow Central to Wemyss Bay train headed by tender first Standard Class 5MT 4-6-0 73060.

Ramsgreave and Wilpshire: A pair of Avanti Evero 805s pass over the summit of the climb from Daisyfield Junction and begin the long descent into the Ribble Valley. 805006 and 805013 are approaching Ramsgeave and Wilpshire station and will drop down through Wilpshire Tunnel and Langho station before crossing the River Calder on Whalley Viaduct. This was a Birmingham to Carlisle service, diverted over the S&C for the M6 Bridge closure, on 14th January 2026. This was the last day of these diversions, with the WCML over Shap reopening the following morning.

Walsden: After taking a circuitous route from Liverpool Biomass Terminal though Cheshire and Greater Manchester to avoid the requirement to climb Miles Platting Bank, 66786 rolls down from Summit Tunnel towards Walsden on 30th December 2025. The wagon immediately behind the locomotive was painted gold along with 66301 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of the train’s destination, Drax Power Station.

Shaw Crossing: View east at Shaw Crossing (in middle distance) looking to Stirling. Stirling Castle is top left in the haze with the Wallace Monument extreme top left.

Larbert: 47644 passing Larbert, with the Euston to Inverness 'Clansman', on 20th May 1988.
