Trowbridge: Twice as ugly. I managed to evade a shopping trip and visited Trowbridge station; and was promptly rewarded, if that is the word, by 70812 and 70801 travelling light from Hinksey Yard at Oxford to Westbury. It is unusual on this line to see any freight locomotives moving on a Sunday.
Didcot Parkway: DBC 66085, with a loaded car train from Cowley, Oxford to Southampton Docks, passing through Didcot on 14th September 2022.

Blackpool North [Tram]: Talbot Road in Blackpool is now fully open to road traffic following completion of the tram works for the Blackpool North extension.

There was an earlier tram line along here, running out to Layton, but that closed in the 1960s.

Corrour: Corrour station, looking back south from the ex-12.22 service from Glasgow Queen Street to Mallaig, reversing at Fort William, on Wednesday, 7th September 2022. This is the most isolated station on the West Highland Line with no road access. The old signal box now serves as holiday accommodation and in which somebody has taken up residence.
Princes Street [1st]: August 2017 and this gridlocked tram took 40 minutes to get to York Place. Still, the alternative was to go shopping with my wife.
