Bishop Auckland: A nameplate from the Gresley D49/2 Hunt class 4-4-0 loco 62773 'The South Durham' which is on display at the Morrison superstore in Bishop Auckland, itself built on the former goods yard site, to the north of the present station, that sat alongside the line heading through Willington and Brancepeth to Durham.

Ingrow West: BR Standard Class 2, 2-6-0 no. 78022 (1954) with the ex-16.00 Keighley & Worth Valley Railway service from Oxenhope to Keighley arriving at its penultimate stop at Ingrow West station, just as the rain started to abate, on the evening of Saturday, 15th July 2023.

Kingsmuir: Looking north to Kingmuir Goods (clump of trees to right of former line), beyond which was the passenger station and the village itself.

Wolfhall Junction: 60029 on 6Z60, 0951 Willesden Merehead stone empties passing the former Wolfhall Junction on 17th August 2023. Nearby is the Kennet and Avon Canal. DCR are running some extra stone services at present as required

Plaistow Shed: Plaistow shed, London, had recently closed, but several locos, mainly 2-6-4 tanks, were still to be found when I visited on 24 June 1962. Deep in the actual shed was this little gem, 0-6-2 T No 41981, the last original non-preserved LT&S loco. MP adds: This locomotive actually has a very strong Scottish association, it was ordered from Dubs in 1903 as number 4469, but actually turned out as NBL 15751 in 1903, after the 'Combine' formed. At the time of its withdrawal from service (June 1962) it was the oldest surviving NBL built loco on BR.

Oxford: Colas Rail 70803 northbound through Oxford on 24 August 2023, Rep. No 6M50. Westbury (Wilts) to Bescot. The locomotive is virtually on top of the Botley road bridge which is soon to be demolished to make way for a five track bridge. Mind you if they find any more Victorian artefacts under it, it might not be as soon as they would like. It is now noticeable that much of the platform furniture on Platform 4 has been removed and JCB's were at work in various areas. How long before the platform buildings go?

Winchburgh Junction: A 47/7 propels a Glasgow-Edinburgh push-pull towards Winchburgh.

Hapton: 156412 slows but does not quite stop at Hapton, a request stop, while heading for Colne on 22nd August 2023. This view from the footbridge that spans the railway and adjacent motorway shows the disused section of the shortened Down platform with edging stones removed. The Up platform is in similar condition.

Bicester London Road: Bicester London Road as it was in 1975. (Closed 1968 and re-opened as Bicester Town in 1987.)

Kingsmuir: View south of the loading bank in Kingsmuir's goods yard from the road bridge. The bridge has been infilled. See image [[73433]] for a 1961 view.

Braeside Junction: The Angus Railway Group's 'Five Counties' railtour around Fife is seen at Braeside Junction, Charlestown, where trains reversed to reach Crombie. A four car DMU set was used.
