Didcot Parkway: DBC 66105 hauling the daily Morris Cowley to Southampton car train through Didcot Parkway on 9th November 2021. The coaling stage and water tower at Didcot Railway Centre can be seen in the background.

Rothesay Bay: A short-lived experiment in the mid-sixties was the introduction (in 1965) of a hovercraft on the Clyde by a company called Clyde Hover Ferries Ltd, aimed at competing with the traditional steamer and ferry services. The venture wasn't a great success and the service ceased at the end of the 1966 summer season. The photograph shows the hovercraft setting off from the beach at Rothesay for the mainland.

Aberdeen Guild Street: A Class 47 diesel hauls a Freightliner train out of Aberdeen Guild Street in February 1973. Although Guild Street yard has closed, container services still operate, now from Craiginches to the south of the river.

Essex Road: Despite being in a busy residential and business part of the London Borough of Islington, and with its station building on the corner of two main roads, one of which it takes its name from, Essex Road station, now part of the GN suburban system since 1976, is little used. It opened with the line as Essex Road in 1904, was renamed Canonbury & Essex Road in 1922 but the original name was restored in 1948. Despite its name, the entrance is actually situated on Canonbury Road, on the right. This view is on 13th November 2021.

Scorton [Lancashire] [2nd]: The flow of spent ballast from Carlisle to Pinnox Sidings near Longport, Stoke has been operating daily in November with the empties returning north overnight. Colas 56113 passes over Station Lane at Scorton, late on the afternoon of 11th November 2021, with thirteen loaded box wagons in tow. See image [[23874]] for the view from this spot over a century earlier. What would Scorton station staff have thought of 56113?

Montrose North Junction: 60163 'Tornado' speeds away from Montrose North with 'The Aberdonian' on 22 July 2021.

Gore Glen Bridge: A southbound ScotRail DMU on the Borders line about to run through the Gore Glen on a September morning in 2016. As luck would have it, captured passing through a convenient patch of autumn sunshine.

Winston: Winston station site is now base for a heavy haul road haulage company. Whilst the station building has been rebuilt, the goods shed, crossing keepers cottages and the station house are still in use, as seen in October 2021. Looking from the goods yard entrance to the former goods shed, with 'redundant' coal hoppers seen to its left. To the right is the new office building that replaced the old station building, with the letters WIN seen. I had not realised at the time that these letters, which are part of WINSTON, were originally on the old building and replicate an historic feature. See image [[41158]].

Lancaster: 70810 hauls the Mountsorrel to Carlisle NY stone train northwards at Lancaster on 17 September 2021. This is normally routed from Farington Jct via the S&C but on this day it ran direct via the WCML.
