Bathgate Shed: The former Bathgate shed (latterly BR code 64F) photographed looking north west on 23 September 2008, with Edinburgh Road off picture to the right. At that time the abandoned shed stood at the western end of the sprawling construction site for the new (2010) Bathgate station. Demolition finally took place on 11 September 2009 (see image [[25412]]) with the site now forming part of the station car park.

Market Bosworth: You could argue that this TPO carriage at Market Bosworth should now be emblazoned with C III R - but then it wouldn't be a museum piece, would it?

Sandy Holme Aqueduct [LLC]: Sandy Holme Aqueduct carries the Leeds and Liverpool Canal over the River Brun in Burnley. Additionally, the mineral line from Burnley Bank Top (later Central) passed under the canal at this point to reach Bank Hall Colliery immediately beyond, although the rails must have been at a lower level than the current footpath. This view looks upstream, towards the site of the colliery, in December 2022.
