Granton Gasworks [Station]: At an unveiling on 11th March 2023, John Cameron declared Granton to have been Britain's largest private station and now Scotland's 30th Red Wheel, and said that too much of his BR career had been about closing things so what a pleasure it was to be helping open something - with the prospect of rails returning in the shape of Edinburgh Trams. His speech followed those of Cllr Cammy Day, Edinburgh City Council Leader (and local member) and Ben Macpherson MSP and the cutting of a tape by one of the artists. I was surprised to learn that much of the building's art activity will be virtual e.g. apps rather than say on canvas. Also present were railway photographer Hamish Stevenson and author Kenny Williamson whose new book about the railways of Edinburgh, Granton and Leith was published the previous day.

Luton DART Parkway: View from the front of the first train on the new £300 million Luton Airport DART Railway, just departed from Luton DART Parkway for the airport, on 10th March 2023. In the morning, before the line opened, passengers were still using the bus to get from the main line station to the airport. The route operates as two parallel single lines.

Nethermill Junction: View north at Nethermill Junction in 1996. The newer alignments are on the left. The line to Ardler Junction was on top of the wall at the far left and, beside it, was that to the Alyth Junction 'flyover'. This was roughly the site of Nethermill Junction where the Newtyle and Coupar Angus curved off to the left (on a slightly different alignment to the new Ardler line) and the Newtyle and Glammiss curved off to the right (some of the overgrown alignment on an embankment can still be found in Nethermill Wood).

Warrington Bank Quay: 60002 has twenty-four loaded biomass hoppers for Drax in tow as it heads south through Warrington Bank Quay on 22nd February 2023. The train is from the terminal at Liverpool Docks and travelled along the L&M as far as Earlestown before diverging to head south to Hartford, Altrincham, Stockport, Denton and Ashton Moss then joining the Calder Valley route.

Ollerton: 37423 with an inspection coach passes what were once sidings at Ollerton. House building was underway here in 2009. There was once a Rexco plant here as well as a colliery and extensive sidings. This is now part of the Network Rail test track to Tuxford.

Thorpe Bay: 357039, with a C2C service to Shoeburyness, departing from its penultimate stop at Thorpe Bay on Easter Sunday, 21st April 2019. The train has come from Liverpool Street, the normal C2C terminus at Fenchurch Street being temporarily closed over the Easter holiday.

Levenmouth: Looking up river from the Bawbee Bridge with the new Levenmouth platforms under construction. 10 March

North Berwick: North Berwick station and the approaching line are on a downhill gradient and a 5mph restriction is in place for the last part of the branch. 380101 has passed the restriction board and is gingerly making its way into the platform on 27th February 2023.

Edinburgh Waverley: A bench was unveiled at Edinburgh Waverley in March 2023, in memory of talented train planner Iain Archibald who died in 2022.

Buxton: A full house of stabled Sprinters at Buxton on 10th March 2023, following heavy snowfall which resulted in trains from Manchester being turned back at Hazel Grove and no service beyond.

Cameron Bridge: Looking east over Cameron Bridge (2nd) on 10 March 2023 with platforms under construction.

Inveraray Pier: TS 'Duchess of Montrose' at Inveraray. The photograph dates from 1963.

Partick Central: The remaining disused bridge over the River Kelvin just east of the former station at Partick Central with the Kelvin Hall in the background.

Whitrope Siding: The elements at Whitrope are taking their toll on the Waverley stock there. 26040 no longer has the pristine look it had on arrival [[57267]] and the more recently delivered Pacers are also looking weather beaten. However, there is a work programme that is restoring the Type 2 and a start has been made on repainting 142020, seen here, in Tyne and Wear livery. This view looks south from the site entrance in February 2023.

Forder Viaduct: 34067 Bristol to Par excursion crossing Forder viaduct near Saltash. Sadly the tide was out. The photograph was taken from the site of the original viaduct.
