Perth: A class 158 at Perth on 6th July 2022. The paint colours on the station are the old BR Scottish region brown and cream and so could date from any time since the mid-1960s, given the typeface on the direction signs.

Liverpool Street: 317343 with 317508, back at Liverpool Street with the ex-11.09 Greater Anglia service from Hertford East, just after 12 noon on Saturday, 16th July 2022 and now waiting to form the return 12.12 depature back to Hertford East. This was the Last Day of class 317 units in service, hence the commemorative headboards with the very last 317 train departing from Hertford East at 23.09.

Glasgow St Enoch: The bright colours of a Class 126 DMU show up well against the backdrop of a rather dark Glasgow St Enoch station on 3 March 1962. It will almost certainly be heading for Ayr, and the 'B' on the front suggests that it will not be an express. Note the attractive Speed Whiskers. Sent from my iPad

To the right 390155 is newly arrived on a Euston service and TPE units occupy the centre roads between services. The Courthouse is a distinctive landmark on the left of the picture.

Crewe: Its not every day you see a Voyager (left, coming in from North Wales), the APT (in the Heritage Centre, centre), and a Pendolino (18.02 to Euston, right) in the same picture. Crewe station was actually very quiet on the Platinum Jubilee holiday.

Bounds Green: Exterior of Bounds Green, Piccadilly Line, on the scorching morning of Saturday, 9th July 2022, two months short of the station's 90th birthday, seen from the upstairs side windows of a number 221 bus to Edgware. This station opened with the first stage of the Cockfosters extension from Finsbury Park to Arnos Grove on 19th September 1932. Like the other stations on the extension, which reached Cockfosters the following year, Bounds Green was designed by Dr. Charles Holden (1875-1960), the London Underground's Chief Architect between the two world wars. On the right, waiting at the traffic lights, is a single decker WVS bus on TfL route 299 from Cockfosters to Muswell Hill.

Hertford East: 317508 and 317343 just arrived at 11.01 at Hertford East with the ex-10.12 Greater Anglia service from Liverpool Street on 16th July 2022, the Last Day of class 317 units. They will form the return 11.09 departure so people had to be very quick with their photos. There wasn't, alas, time to get an exterior shot of the grand frontage of this 1843 terminus.
