Linlithgow: A Dunblane service passes Linlithgow at speed on 23 September 2020. The poster behind caught my attention because it spells trolleys 'trollies'. I thought this had to be a mistake but apparently it is an accepted alternative spelling. OK, but why? Welcome to my world.

Malton: TransPennine Express liveried DRS 68021 is seen at Malton Station early evening on 16 October 2020, at the rear of the 16.54 ex Liverpool Lime Street Nova 3 coaching set working to Scarborough. The red glow on the side is from the platform west end colour starter signal just to its rear. 68021 was one of the loco's sent to the Velim test track in the Czech Republic to ensure compatibility with the rake of CAF built coaches. 68019 was the other.

Motherwell: Britannia 70010 'Owen Glendower,' impatient to get away from the Motherwell stop with the 9.25am Crewe to Perth on 3rd July 1965. The train was some 15 minutes down, but time was being regained through some very brisk running. Unfortunately, having had to alight at Motherwell, I was not able to see if the fast progress continued!
