Wrexham Central: When the relocated Wrexham Central station was constructed provision was only made for a two-car Sprinter but with the introduction of the 3-car Class 230 sets a slight extension was needed to the platform as seen here on 4th October 2023 (although a Sprinter was covering one diagram that day). See image [[70754]] taken from the bridge in 2019.

Callander and Oban Junction: View east about quarter of a mile east of Callander and Oban Junction showing the partly landscaped former railway. The line ran down the left side of Drumdhu wood, in the foreground, to Bridge of Keltie beyond and continued in that direction to Drumvaich Crossing. In the far distance the Wallace Monument can be seen on the horizon.
