Gilmilnscroft Junction: Looking west from the Coal Road overbridge along the trackbed towards Auchinleck village in 2004. The trackbed is now choked with trees.

Cricklade: In fading light on 6th January 2022, a picture taken from the Cricklade extension head of steel showing the demolished Farrfield Lane bridge in the distance. No one owns up to demolishing it and the work took place in the early 1970s. All the relevant authorities deny any knowledge of allowing it so it was done unofficially by a Mr X no doubt, which does not explain the JCBs involved or the lovely coating of tarmac. It is hoped to run passenger trains up to the terminus during 2022.

Shooting Range Platform: This bridge may need nothing more then netting on a steel frame to retain loose stone; but it saves a lot of concrete and aggregate and allows pedestrians and cyclists to travel actively. Highways England please note. View looks towards Bodmin from Wadebridge. [Shooting Range Platform itself was further north.]

Reading: 165112 leads 166215 into Reading, on the evening of 18 June 2009, while on a Paddington to Oxford service.

Polmadie Shed: Shed staff at Polmadie making good progress at cleaning up Standard 2-6-4T 80116. This was a late date to be officially cleaning a steam locomotive but they had been set to work on account of the imminent arrival of Russia's President Kosygin at Glasgow Central, where the loco was to be on station pilot duty. Alongside are Black 5s 45120 and 45135.

Mill Hill East: Mill Hill East, with a train of LU 1938 stock on a Northern Line service, in May 1973. (See my photo, image no. 79713, for a view from the same point nearly half a century later in 2019 with a digital destination indicator and Orwellian cc tv camera, renewed roundel running-in board, replacement of the original wooden platform and a new fence too!)

Mill Hill East: Mill Hill East, opened by the Edgware, Highgate & London Railway (later absorbed by the GNR) in 1867 and a London Underground station since 1941. Now mainly served by shuttle Northern Line tube trains from Finchley Central, with through trains only in peak hours, and seen on 14th September 2019. (Since writing that caption, the shuttle service has been abolished and Mill Hill East now has through services to and from central and south London throughout the day, 7 days a week, concurrently with the opening of the Battersea Power Station branch in south London on 20th September 2021.)

Backworth Colliery Eccles and Maude Pits: At the south end of the Backworth Colliery (Eccles Pit), Northumberland in 1974. The loco would later move to the Caledonian Railway (Brechin) but is presently out of service.

Helensburgh Upper: Vegetation between Craigendoran Junction and Helensburgh Upper.

Barton and Broughton: Before its recent repaint into BR Green (and before running as 45562 and 45627), 45699 'Galatea' ran in this London Midland Region crimson livery, which it never carried in BR days. The 'Jubilee' is seen passing the St Helier's footbridge heading for Preston on 3rd March 2018.
