Carron Water Bridge [East Croft of Carmont]: Although only a small section of the Carron Water bridge parapet collapsed, (See image [[75504]]) engineers have since removed the entire wall across the full length of the bridge. This was the view of the Up side on 23rd January 2023 with a temporary safety fence installed and the Up track removed. Even a limited view of the scene like this one required a strenuous trek.

Carron Water Bridge [East Croft of Carmont]: Ground being prepared for heavy vehicles at Carron Water bridge repair site, on 23rd January 2021, and the up line has been temporarily lifted. The underpass here is quite narrow and low and it may be that wood will be laid down so that engineers can drive over the remaining line to get to the other side.

Carron Water Bridge [East Croft of Carmont]: My daily permitted walk comprised 9.46 miles on 23rd January 2021 but this allowed me some photographs of the Carron Water bridge repair preparations. The ground is being prepared for heavy vehicles and a worksite has been readied nearby. The line was initially closed for a few days but there was a fair bit of work still to do at this time.

Carron Water Bridge [East Croft of Carmont]: A hefty (but permitted) hike allowed this elevated view of the Down side of Carron Water bridge, with repairs in hand on 23rd January 2021. The entire Up side parapet had been removed by this time, and the Up Line.

Charlestown Buffer: The buffer at the end of the Charlestown/Crombie branch as seen in early 1996. This was approximately the site of Charlestown Goods Signal Box. Crombie Pier can be seen in the background left.

Longmorn: The headshunt at Longmorn in 1978, looking south towards the closed station with the distillery branch curving to the right. All the track was recovered for use by the Strathspey Railway.

Stirling: A ScotRail DMU stabled in bay platform 7 at the south end of Stirling station during the afternoon of 31 March 2015.

Castle Cary: Looking west over Castle Cary in 1987, with the lines to Weymouth and Exeter diverging beyond the station.

Port Sunlight: Totem from Port Sunlight station (still open today [[34644]]) seen at a Railwayana auction in 1996. The place is named after the soap whereas Bournville (also an open station) gave its name to the chocolate. As for Singer, take a guess.

Glasgow Central: Station pilot 80116 is ready to leave Glasgow Central with the empty stock from the morning express from Liverpool on 15th April 1967. In the foreground is a newly-delivered Class 311 unit, looking quite smart in its Rail Blue livery, albeit that this seemed a retrograde step from the lined Caledonian blue carried by the original Class 303s.

Brondesbury Park: 378230, with a London Overground service to Richmond, arriving at Brondesbury Park in north London on 14th September 2013. The Hampstead Junction Railway from Camden Road to Willesden Junction opened in 1860 but this station was not added until 1908. Demolition of the original Edwardian buildings took place at the end of the 1960s, apart from the entrance on the road overbridge in the background and original stairwells.

Ashington: Remains of Ashington station, on the Blyth & Tyne Line that closed to passengers in 1964, looking north on 15th June 2018. Campaigns to reopen the line culminated in an announcement on 23rd January 2021 that £34 million has been granted to the reopening aiming for 2025 when the first trains will run. See recent news item. The campaigns also pressed for reopening the connecting line from Morpeth to Bedlington but this is not presently included in the scheme.

Woodacre Crossing: Snow is rare in Garstang and when it falls it doesn't linger, so by the time I had walked to the line on 23rd January 2021 there was little left. 221101 and 221102 were running from Edinburgh to Euston via Birmingham, seen approaching Delph Lane near Woodacre.
