Girvan: Girvan – Scotland's only station to be rebuilt in the Big Four era - is now receiving much-needed repairs to its leaking roof. A very worthwhile scheme on this special building, seen here on 25th September 2020.

Perth Glasgow Road: Black 5 4-6-0 no 45009 recently arrived alongside the ticket platform just north of Perth station on Saturday 16 April 1955 with a train from Arbroath. View is north from Glasgow Road, with the ex-Highland Railway locomotive shed on the left and Earlsdyke mineral depot to the right. Note the small window looking out over the line from the shed's first floor level.

Stanhope: Leaving Stanhope heading west there is a local back road, that heads to Broomlee and Dandry Shield, which crosses the railway at Crag Nook. Just west of the road bridge the line crosses a further steel bridge across the River Wear, which twists and turns as it meanders east from its tributary. This view is looking from the road bridge, along the overgrown track, to the river bridge seen beyond the tree canopy.

Caledonian Road and Barnsbury: 378223, with a London Overground short working to Gunnersbury, arriving at Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station on the former North London Railway, on 21st August 2020. This is the first time I can recall a train not going the final two stops to Richmond. (As a footnote, Caledonia is the Roman name for Scotland and in the Middle Ages an asylum for Scottish servicemen was set up here and the road leading to it, now a major traffic artery, was quite logically called Caledonian Road. The site of the asylum is now rather grimly occupied by Pentonville Prison, a short distance north up the road from this station.)

Houston [1st]: Extract from a map included in the Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland (1885, personal collection) showing the area of the Clyde west of Glasgow. As befits the period it is railways that are prominent in red. Note Clydebank (extreme right) got its station before the town got going. Houston station on the Greenock line was later to become Georgetown.

Dundee West Goods: 170471 drops down to Dundee station on 18th September 2020. It is passing the holding sidings, which contain eight un-refurbished Mk3 coaches and another Class 170 unit.

Aviemore Speyside: Aviemore Speyside island platform under construction in April 1977 with the shed in the background on the right. The first platform wall supports have been positioned and some spoil had been placed by the crane from elsewhere on the site. To the left is the HML towards Carrbridge

Milnthorpe: Unbranded 390154, on a Sunday Glasgow to Euston service, heads south at Elmsfield near Milnthorpe on 27th September 2020.

Easthouses Extension Pit: The B6482 underpass near the site of Easthouses pit on 10 September 2020, exactly one year on from my first visit, at which time the route had been fenced off. Unfettered access on this occasion allowed the opportunity to recreate the Douglas Blades photograph taken almost 50 years earlier (see [[72293]]) shortly after the lifting of the Easthouses Tramway. View is south, with the bridge that carried Mayfield Road now infilled along with the old tramway cutting beyond.

Farnell Road: The former Farnell Road station, looking south. On the left the Strathmore main line crossed over the road by a bridge, removed by 1996.

Cambuslang: A Larkhall service calls at Cambuslang on 19 September 2020.
