Kirkdale: 508136 departs from Kirkdale with the 17.36 for Liverpool Central. 508138 is the unit at the top end of Kirkdale depot and some of the new Class 777 units are just visible too. Introduction of the 777s is presently delayed. Meanwhile the availability of Class 507/8 which are all over 42 years old now is somewhat less than desired especially at peak times when there is demand for 6-car trains.

Didcot Parkway: Freightliner 70015, northbound through Didcot with containers on 14th September 2022.

Glenfinnan: 'The Jacobite', behind Stanier Black 5 no. 45212, returning from Mallaig to Fort William passing Glenfinnan station, on the afternoon of Thursday, 8th September 2022. The train stopped here for half an hour or so on the outward journey.

Cheddleton: USATC 2-8-0 no. 5197 looks rather gruff as it hauls the evening dining train on the Churnet Valley Railway. We had no complaints - we were expecting a diesel, but the exhaust sound was better this way.

North Queensferry [1st]: A motorcycle combination, and a well loaded Mini, follow a Humber Super Snipe onto the 'Mary Queen of Scots' at North Queensferry on 4th September 1964. The vessel has been dressed overall as it is about to be superseded by the Forth Road Bridge looming through the mist in the background, this being the last day of operation of the ferries.

Johnstone: New Johnstone station footbridge 'bridges accessibility gap'.

Truro: At the east end of Truro in October 2015 with level crossing, signalbox and lower quadrant semaphore signals.

Liverpool Central: Merseyrail seat covers thoughtfully provide games to pass the time 1. Count all the dots, 2. Count the light grey squares,etc. If they are all a blur then you should have gone to Specsavers or you are not sober

Mallaig: LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 no. 45212 just arrived at the terminus at Mallaig, with 'The Jacobite' from Fort William, on the afternoon of Thursday, 8th September 2022.

Levenmouth: Leven perspective view. [An aerial view of the proposed station - to be named Leven or Levenmouth? - with lozenge shaped shelter. -RS]

Cameron Bridge: Levenmouth Line; a perspective view of the proposed station at Cameron Bridge.

Consall: This passenger shelter on the Southbound platform is cantilevered over the adjacent canal. This may explain the absence of windows on the side and rear walls. Peace of mind, you know.

Rawtenstall: Having just arrived at Rawtenstall with a train from Bury, 45108 is seen having drawn forward to the buffers during the run round operation.

Dovehouses Bridge 161 [LC]: It is at least eighty years since a canal boat turned round in the winding hole at Dovehouses. The canal north of Tewitfield closed in 1942 and several points were culverted in the 1960s for the M6 Motorway build. Just beyond here the waterway turns west through Crooklands before striking northwards again towards Kendal.

Edinburgh Waverley: Looking east over Waverley Station in 1975. A 'Peak' heads for Haymarket Depot as an empty cement train disappears towards Oxwellmains on the right.

Balloch: Balloch in July 2015. 320310 couldnt get to Loch Lomond, so it set off back towards Glasgow.
