Alloa Bridge: Throsk cabin, Alloa Bridge. NBR 4.4.0 62496 on Queen Street - Perth train. 'Glenloy'

Diggle: 802208 disappears into Standedge Tunnel with a TPE Liverpool Newcastle service on 19th June 2024. Diggle station had four platforms that abutted the three tunnel portals but they were removed after the station closed on 7th October 1968, one hundred and eighteen years after it first opened to passengers.

Gateshead Shed: Clear skies at Gateshead shed on 12 October 1963 with A4 Pacific No 60026 showing off its fine lines. It would not be long before it would be heading for Aberdeen and the 3-hour expresses.

Golders Green: Exterior of Golders Green station, now part of the much-extended LU Northern Line but originally opened on 22nd June 1907 as the terminus of the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway, seen from a passing no. 210 bus at 15.11 on Sunday, 1st September 2024. The station forecourt is a terminus for several TfL bus routes while National Express Coaches from Victoria coach station to and from destinations in the north also serve here as an intermediate stopping point.

Ratho: A shot thought to date from 1973 of Ratho station looking east. The station closed to passengers on 18/06/1951 and at the far end of the various remaining buildings is the former signal box which, as far as I can ascertain, was downgraded to a ground frame in 1939. The train is an Edinburgh - Glasgow QS push/pull working with a class 27 locomotive at each end which were introduced to the route from 1971.

Newcastle Central: J72 68723 shunting at south end of Newcastle Central station in 1962.

Tullibardine: Tullibardine looking south along the former line, now a core footpath. The railway ran down the right hand side of the station building, which has been rebuilt.

Kirkham and Wesham: The wires have been live for over six years now but I still do a double take when I see a Pendolino pass through Kirkham. This is 390121 'The Green Machine' on 9A84, the 1551hrs Blackpool North to Euston via Birmingham service, on 28th August 2024. The new Hitachi Class 807s being introduced are earmarked for the Blackpool North services and also some Liverpool and Birmingham turns.
