Carron Water Bridge [West Carmont]: Track and bridge repairs seen at the derailment site near West Carmont. The heavy lift crane and quite a few of the portacabins are now off site.

Dollar: Extract from the Scottish Region timetable winter 1960-61 showing the Devon Valley line. I think they would have made things clearer by including Stirling in the table and leaving off the Kinross to Perth section which had most of its trains from Edinburgh via Fife. Easy to be wise 60 years after the event.

Battersby: Battersby, where Middlesbrough to Whitby Esk Valley Line trains have to reverse, in the pre-digital age of June 1982. This view looks towards the abandoned section via Stokesley to Picton where it met the Northallerton to Eaglescliffe line. This closed to passengers on 14th June 1954 and completely on 2nd August 1965. The Eaglescliffe line is still open, of course, but Picton closed to passengers on 4th January 1960 and completely on 7th July 1964. Discernible on the platform at Battersby in the background are my late father John and our beloved Labrador Lucky.

Ballynahinch Viaduct: Ballynahinch Viaduct, just west of Ballynahinch Station, the first station on the branch after Clifden. The viaduct is being restored as part of the Connemara Greenway, which will see the restoration of much of the line as a cycleway. The section immediately east of Ballynahinch Station is already open. The line was only operational between 1895 and 1935. 8 March 2020

Ribblehead: 158855 leaves the staggered northbound platform at Ribblehead with a Leeds to Carlisle service on 12th September 2020.

Kirkpatrick: The A1 Steam Trust 60163 'Tornado' is seen at Kirkpatrick on 12 September 2020, whilst working 'The Queen of Scots' tour from York to Edinburgh via Carlisle and Newcastle. The A1 had taken over the tour at Carlisle for the run over Beattock. The site of the former Kirkpatrick station (closed in 1960) was to the rear of the train.

Advie [2nd]: View south west along the trackbed of the Strathspey Railway at Advie on 25 May 2012, with the long single platform of the former station visible on the far side of the road bridge. Located approximately midway between Grantown-on-Spey and Aberlour, the station was closed to passengers in 1965.

Perth: The 9.15am ex-Buchanan Street photographed at Perth on the morning of 16 April 1955 en route to Dundee. The locomotive is Black 5 4-6-0 no 45012.

Westgate-in-Weardale: The solum of the long closed section of the Weardale line, that extended beyond the now demolished Eastgate cement works to Wearhead terminus, is still easily discerned from a local road running between Dandry Shield and Stanhope, that is to the south of, and at a higher level to, the route of the former line. A lengthy section of low embankment can be seen running west forward of the trees near the centre of the view, and running behind the farm building in the distance, some 500 metres to the east of the former Westgate Station. A gate can be seen giving access to the trackbed, with a sheep ring feeder sited on the trackbed.

North Queensferry: With a slight mist over the Forth, a Fife Circle service comes off the bridge and into North Queensferry station on 19 August 2020.
