Coltbridge Junction: The railway remains at Coltbridge Junction in the early 1970s. Behind me is the viaduct which crossed the E&G west of Haymarket station and carried the railway for Leith North. The connection to the left headed to Dalry Middle Junction and on to Prices Street and straight ahead the line joined what is now the Duff Street connection (just beyond the remains of the viaduct) at Granton Junction. The high level line was from Haymarket West to Dalry Middle and is now part of the Western Approach Road.

Scorton [Lancashire] [1st]: Running twenty minutes early (or I would have been closer to the line) 37610, in a new Rail Operations Group livery, takes Northern 331104 from Broughton Sidings at Skipton to Allerton Depot for maintenance or repairs. These occasional workings route via the Bentham line, WCML to Earlestown and then a reversal at Edge Hill.

Loughborough Central: GCR 'Last Hurrah' Gala 2023. We arrived in time to catch the 09.45 to Leicester North; but the NER 'Electric Autocar' No.3170 was full and standing so we had to catch it later. The gent on the right has the satisfied air of a man who has just redlined the last member of its class; presumably he is not bothered by the electric drive having been replaced by a modern diesel engine.

Knaresborough: 170472 leaves Knaresborough heading for Harrogate and Leeds on 11th October 2023. Seconds later the semaphore clanged back to danger allowing the signalman to release the locks on the pedestrian crossing gates.

It spent time at Richborough Power Station, the Great Central Railway, and at Sellinge in Kent during its initial restoration phase.
