St Ann's Road: View from a no. 67 bus on St. Ann's Road, Tottenham, at 12.16 on Sunday, 1st September 2024. Again, it was a sheer fluke that a London Overground class 710 towards Gospel Oak passed across the skew bridge over Seven Sisters Road at the same time. St. Ann's Road station was on the embankment on the right, it closed as a WWII economy in 1942 but never reopened. Today there are no signs of the platforms. However, the entrance, which was round the corner on Seven Sisters Road, survived as a newsagents until 2012 when it was unexpectedly demolished.

Garve: K4 61994 'The Great Marquess' prepares to tackle the severe climb out of Garve on the Kyle of Lochalsh leg of the 2007 'Great Britain' railtour. I think this was the only time in the 'Great Britain' era on which the load was eight carriages unassisted. Runs in later years have been less heavily loaded.

Buxton: Sprinter 150243 approaches Buxton in July 2024 whilst 37254, sitting in the Up Relief Sidings, has just received the road to return to Peak Forest and onwards towards North Wales with an RTC track measurement train with 37607 on the rear. The use of the calling-on arm signifies to the Sprinter driver that there is already a train occupying Platform 2 at Buxton Station.
