Malton: Sunshine and blue skies over North Yorkshire on 29 June 2011 as a First TransPennine 185 arrives at Malton with a westbound train, ultimate destination Liverpool Lime Street.
Latimer Road: Latimer Road station, looking east, on 10th January 2013. This line was primarily a GWR branch from the main line near where Westbourne Park station now stands to Hammersmith and opened in 1864 (Latimer Road was added in 1868) with services by both the GWR and Metropolitan. The GWR trains were broad gauge but they ceased to run to Hammersmith in 1869 and the broad gauge rails were removed, leaving a lasting legacy of the wide space between the tracks today. Nearby, sadly, are the remains of the tragic Grenfell Tower, similar to that in the background. After the tragedy, suggestions were made that Latimer Road station should be renamed Grenfell as a memorial but that has not been pursued.
Mount Vernon North: This fanciful train and relocated station is now a feature on the trackbed of the former GHB&CR at Mount Vernon park, a short distance SE of the former station site.
Tarbet Pier: 'PS Maid of the Loch' approaching the pier at Tarbet. The picture is thought to date from the summer of 1963. It was taken on the same day as image [[79052]], in the course of one of the splendid round trips on offer at that time. These were a train from Glasgow to Craigendoran, sail up Loch Long to Arrochar, walk the relatively short distance to Tarbet on Loch Lomond, take the 'Maid of the Loch' for an afternoon cruise on Loch Lomond and return home by train from Balloch Pier.
Chester: The impressive station frontage at Chester, formerly Chester General, in March 2012.
Okehampton: The first passenger train of the first 'Restoring Your Railway' reopening will run on Wednesday 17 November, ahead of public services resuming on Saturday 20 November. The line was restored in just nine months and delivered £10m under budget, transforming a mothballed former freight railway to regular services. This reopening is the first of the Government's 'Restoring Your Railway' schemes to return to service, fulfilling a manifesto commitment.
York Railway Operating Centre: Railway signals in Middlesbrough now controlled from York after successful reliability upgrade.
Cargo Fleet [2nd]: Whitehouse signal box (at the former Cargo Fleet station) was replaced by York Rail Operating Centre over the weekend.
Polmadie Shed: The A4 Locomotive Society acquired 4498 'Sir Nigel Gresley' in 1966 and had it turned out in LNER Garter blue livery after overhaul. Having made a first run in preservation at the beginning of April 1967, Sir Nigel was in Glasgow the following month for a special day excursion to Aberdeen. The A4 is seen after return in the evening, reversing towards the massive coaling plant at Polmadie, which was by then seeing very little use. Steam had been completely withdrawn by the Scottish Region at the end of April, and only a couple of locomotives per day would turn up from south of the border to be serviced.
Troon: The 11.06 for Ayr runs in to Troon on 10th November 2021. No change on the up side platform yet.
ROF Rotherwas: The Rotherwas gate guardian, an Andrew Barclay 0-4-0DM, is parked on a piece of track with a 5-plank wagon for company at the entrance to the Rotherwas Industrial Estate. This is built on the site of the old ROF complex, which had twenty seven miles of internal railway tracks.
Conishead Priory: The substantially modified former Conishead Priory station, on a misty day in January 2010. It was built as a through station, for a projected line through Bardsea along the coast to Barrow, but the line never progressed beyond this point. From 1880 to 1895 it saw two trains per day, serving the nearby hydrotherapy hotel, but then this reduced to a single daily train until closure in 1916. The generous facilities reflected the affluence of the expected hotel patrons.
Manchester Piccadilly: A late afternoon Arriva Trains Wales service to Chester, via Warrington Bank Quay with 175011, stands at platform 14, Manchester Piccadilly in March 2012.
