Bethnal Green: The disused platforms at Bethnal Green station, closed in 1946, with the remaing platforms on the north side in the background, now served by London Overground trains to and from Chingford, Enfield Town and Cheshunt, seen from passing 720 544 with the ex-15.10 Greater Anglia service from Southend Victoria to Liverpool Street, at 16.03 on Friday, 15th September 2023. The train is approaching Liverpool Street and is about to descend under the remains of the viaduct to the original 1840 terminus at Bishopsgate High Level which was replaced by Liverpool Street in 1875/76. Bishopsgate survived as a goods depot until destroyed by fire, in which two tragically people died, in December 1964.

Airdrie: In this photograph, believed to date from 1968, an eastbound Swindon DMU has left Airdrie and is about to pass the former Calderbank Iron Works branch overbridge, not long after leaving Airdrie. The photographer did not record the reason for this unusual occurrence but, as he took several shots that day of Swindon units in the Airdrie area, the train was almost certainly a diverted Edinburgh service running from Glasgow Queen St Low Level because of a problem on the normal route via Falkirk High.

Aberfeldy Distillery: An alternative view, from June 2008, of the Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST, works number 2073 of 1939, that is attached to a flat wagon loaded with barrels at the Dewar's distillery in Aberfeldy. Since then the wooden picket fences have been replaced with a metal fence, which on this side has been erected along the platform to prevent anyone falling onto the track. See image [[81868]]

Crook of Devon: Crook of Devon looking east to the former station in 2023. The houses occupy the trackbed at the station site.

Crook of Devon: Looking east to Crook of Devon station in 1996. Since the photograph was taken playing fields and a footpath have been developed here and the station site redeveloped as housing.

Hellifield: DRS 66425 top n' tailed with 66429 heads 3S29, the 08:27 York Thrall Europa to York Thrall Europa via Hellifield seen on the return leg just after leaving Hellifield. Previous workings of this RHTT have used Class 37s. Is this the end of their use on this train?

Lasswade Viaduct: Looking over the Valley of the North Esk on 11 March 2018 showing part of Lasswade Viaduct. Designed by Sir Thomas Bouch and constructed by the Esk Valley Railway in 1867 the branch ran to Polton along the valley to the left, with the former Lasswade station just off picture to the right. The branch closed to all rail traffic in 1964.

Eastleigh Shed: 15 June 1963 and Q1 0-6-0 No 33009 is sneaking out of Eastleigh shed. My first encounter with a Q1 (or 'Charlie', as they were affectionately known) was in the summer of 1950, when No C20 made a jaw-dropping appearance on a freight train at Fareham station.

Harrogate: Viewed from the station footbridge 170472, working from Leeds to York, slows for the Harrogate stop on 11th October 2023.

Hook : We think this may be 34070 'Manston' at Hook, date uncertain. The Battle of Britain Pacific has since been preserved.

Cole: A 1967 shot of the station at Cole, often referred to as Cole (for Bruton) which closed on 7th March 1966 when passenger services came to an end over the Somerset & Dorset. The goods yard here had closed almost a year previously on 5th April 196.5

Niddrie Exchange Sidings: A class 40 heads for Millerhill Yard in 1971, passing the NCB Niddrie exchange sidings.
