Kincardine: Freightliner 66513 nears Kincardine with the Thornton - Ravenstruther empty ballast on 1 July 2022.
Oslo Sentral: Contrasting EMUs at Oslo Central in May 2022. On the right is a Class 69 unit, dating from 1971, in traditional red and silver. To the left a much newer Class 75, which has been repainted into the dark green of the Vy operating company.
Leigh-on-Sea: The outer up and inner bay island platform at Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, seen from a C2C train to Shoeburyness arriving on the morning of Bank Holiday Monday, 2nd May 2022. This station was opened by the LMS (which had inherited the LT&SR, well outside its geographical territory, at the 1923 Grouping) in 1934, replacing the original 1855 station which was much more conveniently sited at the end of Leigh High Street. This still stands and is now the Headquarters of the Leigh Sailing Club, as it has been for several decades (see image [[68276]]). Leigh is not 'on Sea' at all, as neither is Southend, both being on that part of the Thames Estuary where it widens out to meet the North Sea at Shoeburyness but the suffix was bestowed on them by the LTSR Directors in the hope of encouraging leisure traffic though these days the line is mostly an outer commuter route to and from London Fenchurch Street.
Schoolhill: The new pavilions are taking shape on the upper levels of the Union Terrace Gardens. The winter storms had evidently knocked over one mature tree. The single track mainline is kept clear of weeds even if they still grow in the siding. When the line first opened the GNSR seems to have had special guards in charge of trains running between Kittybrewster to the new Joint Passenger Station: these were called Denburn Guards.
Tullybreck Level Crossing: The level crossing at Tullybreck, about a kilometre east of Double Dykes crossing, seen in August 2021. Amazingly the up line remained in place. It has been announced that all level crossings on the re-opening Levenmouth line will be stopped up.
Eyemouth: J39 0-6-0 64917 at Eyemouth with the branch service for Burnmouth, on 20th January 1962, two weeks before closure of the branch.
Edinburgh Waverley: Activity at the east end of Waverley on 1 July 2022 with the 1458 arrival from Berwick-upon-Tweed at platform 1 alongside the 1530 departure to London Kings Cross boarding at platform 2.
Newburgh [2nd]: The old station at Newburgh, which closed to passengers in 1955, pictured sometime in 1978 when the bidirectional loop was still operational. That was lifted in 1980 leaving a plain single line between Ladybank and Hilton Junction near Perth. [[10037]].
Clifton and Lowther: If a Standard 9F were to be seen today slogging along the northern slopes of Shap with a lengthy haul of low-sided wagons, one imagines that a long line of fellow railway photographers would be keeping company with the solitary photographer in the nearby field, rather than an assembly of cattle. Late on a summer evening in 1967, 92118 was making its way south near Great Strickland, just to the north of Clifton and Lowther.
Stutton: Almost no-one travelling along the A162 that runs between Tadcaster and Pontefract will appreciate that they are crossing a stone built 3 arch bridge just north of Towton village. There is a parapet on the west side of the road, but nothing on the other side, by the junction to Ulleskelf, bar a grass verge and some scrub land beyond. This bridge - CFH 1 / 1A - is one of few remaining features from the former line running between Church Fenton and Harrogate via Wetherby. View is looking east towards Church Fenton, and shows the infilling of the east side cutting.
Voss: There is quite an 'Alpine' feel to Voss station, on the Bergen line, with a direct connection from the platforms to the ski slopes cable car. A Vossebanen EMU, working from Myrdal to Bergen, calls on 6th May 2022.
Spean Bridge: Looking east at Spean Bridge in 1984, as a 37 passes through hauling empty ballast wagons.
Nantlle: Nantlle station, sited almost two miles west of the village of the same name in the village of Talysarn, the substantial station building was at the terminus of a short branch from Penygroes and is now in use as part of a community centre. Passenger services ceased in 1932 but the station and goods yard remained open until 1963, primarily to handle the slate extracted from local quarries and transported to the station yard by 3ft 6in gauge horse-drawn tramway.
Nine Elms Shed: Merchant Navy 4-6-2 35013 'Blue Funnel' at Nine Elms shed in July 1958.
