Thornton Junction: B1 4-6-0 61029 'Chamois' in the shed at Thornton Junction on 7th September 1966.
Nuneaton: I keep hoping to see a train using the track between platforms 5 and 6 at Nuneaton, which allows freight trains heading South on the WCML to turn towards Leicester, but 66752 'The Hoosier State' had good reason to pass platform 5, as it allowed a crew change. The train was 4L10 Trafford Park to Parkeston SS and comprised 40 wagons, easily beating a train which passed through platform 7 shortly afterwards with just one (empty) wagon.
Cruden Bay: Cruden Bay with a detail view of the remains of a Cruden Bay wagon seen at the station in February 1961.
Cruden Bay Hotel: 6-inch map extract from around 1900, showing the then newly opened Cruden Bay Hotel tramway running from the station to the hotel, where there was a shed for the two tramcars. They could also tow loads, such as wagons of coal for the hotel boilers. The map also shows the station layout and the viaducts on the Boddam branch on both sides of the station, which partially survive today. Added by Mark Bartlett.

Grampian Transport Museum: Cruden Bay Tram No.2 has been exhibited for many years now at the Grampian Transport Museum in Alford. Previously, a large picture of the hotel formed a backdrop [[40796]] but now a horse tram, No.1 from Aberdeen, is exhibited alongside No.2. The tram last carried passengers in 1932, when the Boddam branch closed to passengers, although it conveyed goods and laundry from the station to the hotel for a further eight years before full closure of the tramway. It has been superbly restored.
Cruden Bay Hotel: Golf Road in Cruden Bay follows the line of the 3ft 6in tramway from the station to the site of the hotel. The upper view here is along Golf Road with the station entrance behind the camera and Station Road on the left. The lower view is at the end of Golf Road where the entrance to the hotel was sited before being demolished in the late 1940s. Cruden Bay Hotel Tram No.2, bottom right in the Grampian Transport Museum, must have made the journey between hotel and station many times between 1899 and 1940 when the tramway closed.
Glenfarg North Tunnel: The remains of a structure, built with rails, can be found above the Glenfarg line on its west side a little south of the northern of the two Glenfarg tunnels. Perhaps it had something to do with stabilising the ground above the line as there are issues and springs marked here on Ordnance Survey maps.
Bidston: Ex-LU D78 District Line stock, now hybrid unit 230006, at Bidston on the Wirral at 17.41 on Monday, 28th April 2025, waiting to depart with a delayed Transport for Wales Borderlands Line service to Wrexham. This station is also served by Merseyrail's Wirral Line between Liverpool Central and West Kirby which was also delayed on this evening due to a broken down 777 unit.
