Midsomer Norton South: Although the Sentinel vertical boiler engine has a handy step for topping up water (see image [[78413]]) it seems that the best way to stoke it is to stand on an adjacent platform. Bit of a bum steer, really.

Kennington: Part of the incorrect new version of the LU diagram showing the Battersea Power Station branch of the Northern Line, that opened in September 2021. Incorrect as it shows ALL trains on the Charing Cross branch as running to and from Battersea Power Station with no peak hour trains from the Charing Cross branch beyond Kennington to Morden, as has always been the case. Yet on the renewed Northern Line route diagrams above the seats on the 1995 stock trains, this correctly shows not only the Battersea Power Station branch but also a hatched line at Kennington indicating that peak hour trains do indeed still run to and from Morden via Charing Cross (see my photo, image no. 79563). And in any case, as from 15th January 2022 until May 2022, all trains from Morden will have to run via Charing Cross anyway when the Bank branch of the Northern Line is partially closed for reconstruction of Bank station (see my photo, image no. 79552). This photo was taken at Nine Elms station on the new Battersea branch on the afternoon of New Year's Day, Saturday, 1st January 2022.

Kennington: Part of the route diagram above the seats on LU 1995 stock trains currently in use on the Northern Line, shows a hatched line at Kennington, indicating that peak hour trains on the Charing Cross branch still run to and from Morden. Yet on the new full diagram displayed at all stations on the system, it shows the new Battersea Power Station branch, but does not include the hatched line, incorrectly indicating trains on the Charing Cross branch only run to and from Battersea Power Station (see my photo, image no. 79564.) This view was taken from a Battersea Power Station to Edgware service, that I boarded at Nine Elms, while calling at Kennington station, on the afternoon of New Year's Day, Saturday, 1st January 2022.

Edinburgh Waverley: The Northern Belle waiting to depart (17:16) Waverley on 13th November 2021, with 57313 leading and 57601 on the rear. I'd had an Avanti trip to Preston and this came in as I was waiting for the 17:35 back home.

Renfrew Wharf: HR 103 sets off from a rather minimalist Renfrew Wharf station in pouring rain while heading the Easter Rambler No 4 on 17 April 1965. Note the Yoker power station on the other side of the River Clyde.

Eastfield Shed: After spending much of its career on the Great Central line, operating out of Neasden, B1 61116 moved north in 1963 (see image [[29512]]) and spent a few final years allocated to Glasgow's Eastfield depot. It was photographed here in 1966.

Hungerford: I was advised that West Coast Rlys were running a Special from London Victoria to Exeter on 28th September 2021 but the motive power could be steam or a 47. In the end, I was blessed with LMS 45596 'Bahamas' leading LNER 61306 'Mayflower' through Hungerford. A pleasing sight and a delight to hear the Caley hooter again.
