Daisyfield Junction: 70806 heads east at Daisyfield Junction with empty bitumen tanks from Preston Dock to Haverton Hill on 13th September 2023. The train is passing Blackburn TA Centre, built on the site of a railway goods yard and standing in the 'V' of this line and that to Clitheroe. The bitumen tanks usually run from Lindsey Refinery but a shortage of product this year has led to short formations and some trains being switched to run from Haverton Hill.

Kings Cross: East side wall of Kings Cross station, designed by Lewis Cubitt for the Great Northern Railway and opened in 1852, seen here from the front upstairs windows of a HV type bus on route 91 to Crouch End, heading north up York Way before turning east into Wharfedale Road (both part of the King's Cross one-way system) and then continuing north up Caledonian Road, on the afternoon of Wednesday, 30th August 2023. The bus in this view is a so-called 'New Routemaster', nothing like the fine old traditional Routemasters of old, setting out from the terminus of route 259 to Edmonton Green in north London.
