Longhaven Quarries: Alongside the A90 road to Boddam and Peterhead, these bridge abutments supported a short quarry tramway that appears to have been used to tip spoil into the sea at this point. The single track Boddam branch passed underneath and the abutments are similar to many other survivors at various points on the Boddam branch. The entrance to the quarry is behind the camera so this tramway was very short in length.

Longhaven Quarries: Dropping down from Longhaven to Boddam, alongside the rugged coastline, the railway passed under a bridge that carried a tramway from the nearby quarry. Looking through the bridge abutments, the lighthouse at Boddam can be seen ahead as the trackbed curves slightly left. .

Raynes Park: After passing under the quadrupled main line tracks to avoid conflicting movements, Class 455 no.5732 from Dorking or Chessington South to Waterloo, is now rising into the north side of the up island platform at Raynes Park, at 13.08 (four minutes late) on a beautifully bright and sunny spring Saturday lunchtime, 5th April 2025. After spending some time here in the hope of photoing some new 701 units, without success, I gave up and took this standing room only train one stop back to Wimbledon and then the District Line to Putney Bridge to a cafe I know there, opposite the station.

Putney Bridge: The grand exterior of Putney Bridge, LU District Line, on 5th April 2025. This was opened by the Metropolitan District Railway as Putney Bridge & Fulham with the extension from West Brompton in 1880. Trains were extended over LSWR tracks to Wimbledon in 1889 and it was renamed Putney Bridge & Hurlingham in 1902 and finally Putney Bridge in 1932. The section south to Wimbledon remained in main line ownership until 1994 when control passed to LT, even though Southern Railway trains from Waterloo to Wimbledon via East Putney had ceased in 1941. Wimbledon station, however, remains in National Rail control.
