Burton and Holme: DB 66017 drops down from Oxenholme to Carnforth passing the engineering access point at Cinderbarrow with a Mossend to Daventry intermodal on 5th December 2020. The train was running an hour late at this point but still made an early arrival in Daventry.
Wilpshire Tunnel: A4 Pacific 60009 'Union of South Africa' climbs Wilpshire bank having just passed through Wilpshire Tunnel with a charter train from Carlisle on 23 August 2014. (Photo taken with a telephoto lens from the public side of the lineside fence where the line curves away)
Redbridge Viaduct: A ScotRail 158 DMU completes the crossing of the River Tweed as it comes off the Red Bridge between Tweedbank and Galashiels on 10 November 2016. The train is an early afternoon service to Edinburgh Waverley.
Ayr: A visit to Ayr on 22nd November 2020 produced the usual diet of 380s and 156s. The 12.27 for Stranraer was loading and actually seemed to have some passengers, but the 12.15 to Central, seen here departing over the River Ayr viaduct, was seemingly almost empty.
Donibristle Platform: Bringing up the rear on a Network Rail measurement train is Colas liveried 37254 'Cardiff Canton' as 37025 climbs a foggy Donibristle bank heading from Slateford to Inverness on 29 November 2020.
Hilton Junction: Kingmoor Jubilee 45588 'Kashmir', at the head of a fairly lightweight southbound parcels service, seen shortly after passing Hilton Junction. 29th August 1964
Pwllheli: 158821 waiting to depart from the Cambrian Coast Line terminus at Pwllheli with the last train of the day to Machynlleth, on the evening of 21st May 2016.
Hall Road: Nice to see that the old platform buildings at Hall Road have been retained and refurbished rather than replaced. 508108 calls on its way towards Liverpool on 3rd November 2020.
Lostock Hall: Colas 70813 passes Lostock Hall with the empty tar wagons from Preston Docks to Lindsey Refinery on a dark December day in 2020. The train was running around two hours late at this point due to a three hour late arrival on the inward service.
