Tollerton: The final road overbridge replacement on the section of East Coast Main Line between Skelton and Alne was that on Station Road at Tollerton. This view on 30 May 2019 of the replacement bridge shows the road has been narrowed to allow a footpath to be created, with vehicles now signal controlled rather than the unrestricted crossing that previously existed. The ramp onto the bridge is greater from the higher clearance above the line below. See image [[54333]] for a similar view of the old bridge.

Plaistow Shed: I worked in London for part of 1962, which allowed some visits to depots and stations there. The main shed for the LT&SR lines was Plaistow, which had closed by the time I visited on 24 June 1962, but 42519 and several other 3cyl tanks were dotted around. Two of its sisters, 42530 and 42535 were trialled from Ladyburn in 1951 between Glasgow Central and Gourock/ Wemyss Bay with a view to replacing the Fowler 2-6-4 tanks when the Fenchurch Street lines were electrified. This didn't take place for a further ten years, and so the cunning plan never happened!
