Argyle Street: Argyle Street station's 'back door' in Osborne Street is like a scaled-down version of the main entrance in Argyle Street itself. In my day we wore black woollen blazers to school but today they are evidently more hazardous places.

Avoncliff: This view looks West along the aqueduct over the Bath-Weymouth line. There was once a railway (about 3 foot gauge, and horse hauled) along the towpath to the right. There was an incline from a quarry in Westwood (behind the tall tree which stands out in the background), then the railway crossed the canal to terminate in a transshipment yard to the right of this view, adjacent to the present railway.

Perth: An Inverness to Glasgow service pulls out of Perth's Platform 4 on 29 September 2020. It is difficult to get a decent shot inside the trainshed because the 'clear' plastic roof is so mouldy.
