Hawsker: The A171 used to cross the Scarborough to Whitby line on a bridge, which has been demolished. There are two road crossings - one for people, the other adjacent one for those on horseback. The buttons to stop road traffic are at the same height - suggesting that you should get off your horse and drink your milk. I suppose this is what you should expect in a village named HORSEker ...

Reading South: British Railways Maunsell design, former Southern Railway, Class V 'Schools' 4-4-0 30915 'Brighton' is seen stabled in the south yard of 70E (later 70C Sub) Reading South Shed in May 1960.

Cooden Beach: View from preserved 1957 Hastings Thumper unit no. 1001 on a UK Railtours charter heading towards Eastbourne, passing the English Channel at Cooden Beach, on the afternoon of Saturday, 12th August 2023. The line here was opened in 1846 by the Brighton, Lewes & Hastings Railway, later part of the LBSCR which company opened Cooden Golf Halt on 11th September 1905. On an unspecified date in 1922, it became simply Cooden Halt with the line electrified by the Southern Railway in May 1935 who upgraded the halt to a station and renamed it Cooden Beach on 7th July of the same year, concurrently with the building of some desirable residences in the area.

A95 Bridge [Grantown-on-Spey]: This view looks to Grantown-on-Spey West from where the line crossed over the A95. Historically the road ran down the left side of the railway to the bridge seen here before passing under. There were tight corners on the road on both sides of the bridge. The view shows how the road will need some major altering to accommodate the railway when it reaches that far.

Airedale Hospital: Coach 55801, from Pacer 144001, was donated to Airedale Hospital Trust in September 2021 after withdrawal from Northern duties. Two years on it recently opened for use by patients of children's services. The saloon has been converted into a library and play area but the driver's cab remains intact and accessible. Vinyls on the saloon windows represent passengers and the train has been named 'The Flying Dalesman'. Picture by Emma Nelson.

A95 Bridge [Grantown-on-Spey]: A view of the trackbed seen outside of Grantown where it meets the A95 in a view looking to Boat of Garten and Aviemore. It shows how the road will need some major altering to accommodate the Strathspey Railway when it reaches this far.

Eastleigh Shed: 9 June 1963 and Southern Railway (ex LBSC) Class K 2-6-0 is at Eastleigh shed, having been withdrawn from Brighton MPD at the end of 1962.

Forfar Gasworks: East of the Forfar [1st] terminus and North Street bridge the railway served the town gas works. This had sidings at a high level (at the top of the retaining wall on which the railway ran) and the gas works were at a lower level.

Edinburgh Waverley: 385121 and 112 arrive at Waverley platform 14 with a service from Glasgow Queen Street on 25 August 2023. Footpaths below the National Galleries have reopened after building work.

Huncoat Plastic Brick and Terra Cotta Works: Just beyond the boundary (pun intended) of Accrington Cricket Club there was a junction on the mineral line to the Accrington Brick and Tile Works where, in the early 20th Century, a link was put in to the Whinney Hill (plastic) brick works, which continued to Huncoat Colliery and station. The later line has mainly disappeared under industrial buildings although beyond Whinney Hill a substantial embankment is still in place on the old route to Huncoat. This is the site of the junction, a few hundred yards from the L&YR exchange sidings.

Huncoat Plastic Brick and Terra Cotta Works: A map showing the network of mineral lines serving brick works and collieries between Accrington and Huncoat. These were extended over the years and in the 1950s were at their busiest although they declined rapidly in the 1960s. Huncoat Brick Sidings are at the bottom of the map opposite the cemetery. A fleet of 0-4-0STs, named Robin, Linnet, Lark, Raven and Kestrel, served these various branches. Note also the Aerial Ropeway down from the claypit bottom right, which was in use until the 1960s.
