Clapham North: Clapham North, LU Northern Line, looking north on 8th December 2021. This station was opened by the City & South London Railway as Clapham Road with the extension of the line from the 1890 terminus at Stockwell to Clapham Common. It was renamed Clapham North on 13th September 1926 when the line was further extended south to Morden. As can be seen, it has a narrow island platform in a single tunnel, one of only two on the London Underground to survive, the other being Clapham Common one stop to the south. Clapham North is almost identical at platform level to Clapham Common but has a short curve at the northern end, as seen in the background.

Ashton Swing Bridge (Preston): Five Mk1s on a Ribble Steam train must mean it is a Santa Service. D9539 looms out of the riverside mist approaching the swing bridge on its way back to the museum station on 19th December 2021. The Class 14 was top and tailing with an RSR steam loco.

Glasgow Central: Britannia Pacific 70009 'Alfred the Great' pictured awaiting clearance to reverse away from Glasgow Central to the depot at Polmadie. The date was 30th December 1966, so steam haulage of a West Coast mainline express had come as a surprise. The train was the 9am from Manchester and Liverpool and arrival had been an hour late, probably caused by an earlier diesel failure.

Keswick: The Games Room of the Keswick Hotel, under the canopies of the old station, looked inviting on a cold wet November evening. There was a second similar canopied platform here (See image [[34066]]) but that has been lost to car parking. It is good that this building survived the 1972 closure and was later adopted by the hotel to which it has always been connected.

Nelson [ELR]: They don't make station canopies like this anymore! The canopy on what had once been an island platform at Nelson, looking south-west towards Burnley in November 2007. To the left of the ramp leading to the underpass is the live platform. For a view of the former platform on the right in 2007 see image [[17125]] however since the construction of the Nelson Interchange, the view looks slightly different.

Lartington: Looking west in October 2021 along the B6277 Lartington Lane across the road bridge over the trackbed from the former Barnard Castle to Kirkby Stephen line, close to Lartington station. The NER boundary marker See image [[11841]] is still in situ nearly sixty years after closure of the line in 1962, as seen to lower right, with the metal fencing used as the bridge 'parapet' seen by the roadside at top centre.

Clapham North: Clapham North, Northern Line, looking north from the steps on 16th February 2019. There were originally four stations of this type, with a narrow island platform in a single tunnel, all on what was originally the City & South London Railway. Only two remain, here at Clapham North and also at Clapham Common, the next stop south. That at Euston (Bank branch) disappeared during the construction of the Victoria Line in the 1960s and a new station at Angel was opened in 1992.

Mintlaw: Last day of passenger services at Mintlaw on 1st May 1965, and a good complement of passengers for a westbound service, headed by an NBL Type 2.

Edinburgh Waverley: Side by side. A pair of LNER Azumas at Waverley, 9 December 2021.

Tynemouth: Having posted a picture of an empty station, bar an approaching UFO (see image [[78046]]), here is a picture with a train. Not that you will see units like this for much longer.
