Bay Horse: Just after the steam hauled 'Dalesman' passed Bay Horse heading north, 66736 'Wolverhampton Wanderers' ran south onto the embankment. This was an MOD working from Longtown to Kineton but as can be seen it was a light load. This possibly explains why it was quite early as it should have passed here in darkness.

Horse Park Bridge [LC]: Immediately north of Sedgwick village there is another stretch of the Lancaster Canal that is quite poorly defined. In fact, but for the surviving overbridges, it would be undetectable. This is Horse Park Bridge (179), looking towards Kendal in December 2020. A public footpath follows the canal route making it easy to explore, despite the infilling on this northern section.

Broomloan Depot [Subway]: Battery powered 4-wheel shunter in Broomloan Depot in 1975. Built by British Electric Vehicles of Liverpool in 1927 and supplied to Glasgow Corporation via Wingrove and Rodgers, agents, in 1927. Originally fitted with a jackshaft drive, but then rebuilt 1937/8 with a chain drive. It is now displayed at the Riverside Museum.

Sandilands [Tram]: London Tramlink No.2557 to Wimbledon, arriving at Sandilands, to the east of Croydon, on a beautiful 26th May 2018. This is on the initial section of the tramway that opened in May 2000 from Croydon town centre to New Addington under the name Croydon Tramlink. The name was changed to London Tramlink several years later, which is a bit deceitful as it gives the impression it is a London-wide system when, in fact, it is a small town system in the depths of south London although, theoretically for postal reasons, still within the County of Surrey.

Farnworth: Flex hybrid unit 769431 passes through Farnworth with a Southport to Alderley Edge service on 7th September 2022. This will have run on diesel power Southport to Bolton but will draw from the wires for the remainder of the trip. Although Farnworth is a substantial town, old maps of the area show that the L&YR goods facilities were at nearby Moses Gate rather than here.
