Lowesby: I fear that East West Rail has lost its bearings. This chalked aide-memoire is near Lowesby in Leicestershire, East of Leicester. The other parapet had East chalked on it equally clearly. I suppose it will be OK if they dont lay rails across the road.
Crystal Palace: Looking down the stairs at the former Low Level station at Crystal Palace, on the afternoon of Monday, 29th November 2021. This has been the only station in the south London suburb since the closure of the totally separate High Level station in 1954. The neighbourhood still takes its name from the Crystal Palace that was destroyed in an horrendous fire on the night of 30th November 1936 so this photo is 1 day before the 85th anniversary of its sad destruction.
Hardengreen Junction: A northbound ScotRail service on the Borders Railway passing the site of Hardengreen Junction on 6 April 2017. Eskbank station and footbridge are visible in the left background.
Angel: The wide southbound platform at Angel, Northern Line, on 20th November 2021. But it wasn't always so as, when opened by the City & South London Railway in 1901 and for the next 91 years, it had a narrow island platform in a single tunnel. By the end of the 1980s this had become totally inadequate and the whole station was rebuilt, the new being unveiled in 1992. The northbound platform on the south side of the island was abolished and built over, while the southbound on the north side was retained, leaving a very wide southbound platform. A new tunnel for northbound trains was constructed, leaving and rejoining the 1901 track either side of Angel station, to accommodate a new northbound platform which is of normal width with new passageways driven through the former tunnel wall to connect them. The old entrance on City Road was abandoned and replaced by a new one on Islington High Street. The former CSLR platforms at Euston also included a single island platform which disappeared during the construction of the Victoria Line in the 1960s but two examples of how Angel once looked survive at Clapham North and Clapham Common on the southern section of the Northern Line.
Haymarket West Junction: View near Haymarket West Junction, taken from an Edinburgh-bound diesel multiple unit, with an English Electric Type 4 accelerating an express in the other direction, probably bound for Aberdeen. The photograph was taken in the autumn of 1963.
Wemyss Bay Junction: Fairburn 2-6-4 tank no 42242 approaching Wemyss Bay Junction from the Gourock direction with a Glasgow bound train on 27 June 1964.
Carstairs South Junction: 37063 passes Carstairs South Junction, with an MoD train from Thornton, in 1991.
Bay Horse: The empties from the new flow of used ballast to Pinnox Sidings usually return to Carlisle overnight but on Sunday 21st November ran in the afternoon. 56113 has been the sole traction so far and is seen on the embankment at Bay Horse with the thirteen box wagons used for this train. This should have been the second consecutive Colas train going north but the log empties from Chirk were cancelled on this day.
Long Preston: A Northern service from Morecambe to Leeds, with 153351 leading and 144022 on the rear, sets off from Long Preston in May 2013
Harringay: 82224, heading to Kings Cross, passing Harringay station on 9th February 2019.
