Skelmanthorpe: Visiting locomotive 'Count Louis' double heads with resident 'Fox' rolling in to Skelmanthorpe heading for Shelley during the Kirklees Light Railway steam gala. The railway has been rebranded as Whistlestop Valley. See image [[29866]] from this spot in 1986.

Carlisle Upperby Shed: Must be a freight duty ahead for EE Type 4 D394 as it passes by Carlisle Upperby shed with a brake tender in tow on 28 April 1963.

Bury Castlecroft Goods: I remember this Barclay 0-4-0ST arriving at Helmshore station in 1970, as the first steam locomotive owned by the East Lancashire Railway Preservation Society. Then it was in green North West Gas Board livery but now, as a static exhibit in the Bury Transport Museum, is in the blue livery of the Burnley Corporation Gas Works that it served. I hope that the (possibly unique) works plates are also still in the care of the society as it was the memorable No.1927 of 1927.

Tay Bridge: PS 'B L Nairn' heads across the Tay towards Newport, with the unmistakable outline of the railway bridge in the background. The ferry service finished in 1966 with opening of the Tay Road bridge.

Farington Junction: National Mourning Specials WCRC 86401 and a blue/grey rake of Mark 2 stock from Riveria Trains Ltd. This was the 1Z86 Lancaster to Euston (the first) additional service on 17 September 2022. While LSL provided extra services from Manchester on behalf of Avanti West Coast, it is understood that Avanti were unable to support the extra services to be provided by WCRC. In the end an arrangement was made with Network Rail to run these extra trains to support the movement of people to/from London in the days before and on the day of the funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth.

Trowbridge: The 15.49 from Weymouth to Temple Meads briefly had this modern station all to itself. I had fifteen minutes on the station while my wife went shopping; I saw a light engine movement and two trains, which is a good tally for a Sunday afternoon.

Strathcarron: View west over Strathcarron Level Crossing.

Strathcarron: View north of Strathcarron station level crossing.

Levenmouth: An image released by Network Rail labelled 'Leven station shelter'.

Oaksey Halt: 45596 'Bahamas', southbound to the south of Kemble station on the Gloucester to Swindon line, approaching the site of the long gone Oaksey Halt with a returning excursion on 27th August 2022.

Bamber Bridge: 150275 re-starts from Bamber Bridge in March 2008 with a Colne to Blackpool South service.

Alloa [1st]: The site of the original station in Alloa, closed on 7th October 1968, looking towards Stirling on 16th May 2016. The new station, opened just under 40 years later on 19th May 2008, is behind the camera. The reopened singled line is now electrified.

Salisbury Dock: The Victoria Tower, sometimes known as the Hexagonal Clock, marks the former entrance to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal from the Mersey Estuary. However, in 2009 a new canal was constructed down through the docks and a new tunnel to allow canal boats to get down to the Albert Dock in the city centre without navigating the treacherous Mersey. The construction work behind the tower is for the new Everton football stadium. This August 2022 view from a Mersey Ferry 'cruise'.

Cutler Sidings: A lengthy rake of wooden bodied coal wagons roll over the points at the top of the Cutler Sidings short-cut in 1974. While I had a number of rides around Cutler I never ran down the short cut.

Stranraer: A long way for a P please Bob. The 11.29 Ayr to 12.50 Stranraer has arrived and the new driver is inspecting the train for damage, dents and scratches from the previous run. He will now take the train on the return 13.02 to Ayr arriving at 14.22. 156505 has been in the wars with trees and scrub on the way down which Scotrail will need to have a look at before some serious damage is done, also note there are no toilets in Ayr.station.

Cove: V2 60844 climbs past Nigg Bay as it leaves Aberdeen with a haul of mineral empties in April 1965.
