Balshaw Lane Junction: Bi-mode training runs between Springs Branch, Wigan and Blackpool North are taking place with the Class 769 multiple units. There are two return paths in the system for Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays but sometimes these are canceled. On the afternoon of 21 November 2020 769450 was out on the 5Z52 path and is seen at Balshaw Lane. The schedules suggest that they would start from the depot on diesel and change to OHLE at Wigan North Western but on this run the unit was still on diesel, only indicated by the fact the pantograph was down.

NRM Shildon: Interesting juxtaposition of exhibits in the main hall at Shildon on 23 November 2010. At first glance APT-E would appear to be studying the entry qualification details for the Rainhill Trials with interest... although presumably hasn't yet got to the bit about bringing your own coal...

Montrose [CR]: Looking down from the A92 skew bridge on the old Caley line at Montrose, I just happened to notice this telegraph pole, which I would assume to be railway infrastructure although I might be wrong. 4th November 2020.
