Dalmeny Junction: Electrification at Dalmeny. Azuma 800111 nears the Forth Bridge on 12th September 2025 with the 10.00 from Kings Cross to Aberdeen on diesel power. Soon, electric propulsion will be possible before briefly reverting to diesel over the Bridge.

Lancaster: DRS 66423 on the Up Through road at Lancaster passes 158860, reversing in Platform 4 with a Leeds to Morecambe service. on 20th August 2025. The 66 was working stone for Network Rail from Shap to Doncaster, via the East Lancashire line and Copy Pit route.

Dumbuck Signal Box: This view shows the A814 passing over the trackbed of the former Caledonian and Dumbartonshire Junction Railway (later NBR) with a Glasgow bound train on the former Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway (later CR) line. View looks east. The A814 will be closed here from the 15th of September 2025 to the 17th of October to allow gas main works as part of the Exxon Development project commissioned by West Dunbartonshire Council. The ground works beyond the open railway are on the site of the former ESSO Bowling depot. Two new bridges - one under (west end) and one over (east end) the railway - will be built to allow access to the 150-acre site. Dumbuck signal box was located roughly where the digger can be seen on the right hand side of the closed trackbed.

Meldon Quarry: Seen from the Thumper unit in 2010, the approach to Meldon Quarry. This was before the Okehampton line re-opened and the Dartmoor Railway were able to run services to Meldon Halt.

Leith Central Diesel Depot: A shot, thought to date from 1971, of the line to Leith Central Diesel Depot which opened in 1959 in what had been Leith Central station. The passenger service ended here in 1952 and the roof of the trainshed can seen in the background of the photograph, in front of the high flats. A few DMUs and what I guess to be parcels vans are in the holding sidings. The bridge in the foreground carried the Caledonian New Lines from Newhaven to Seafield.

Abbey Wood: Abbey Wood station, looking in the up direction, at 13.29 on Saturday, 9th August 2025. Two trains of 345 stock are standing in the Elizabeth Line platforms on the right.

Reading: The NRMT just happened to pass through Reading, with Colas power car 43274 adding a splash of colour at the tail end, while I was waiting with my family for a train to Bath. The NRMT was heading for Salisbury and Basingstoke before returning to Reading later.

Derby Works: Blue and blue at the Greatest Gathering 200 in Derby. King Class 4-6-0 6023 'King Edward II' was on display alongside the preserved 4-VEP EMU.

Bay Horse: A long train on a long embankment. 88003 was in charge of the northbound 'Tesco Express' on 16th August 2025, here running between Forton and Bay Horse. Not far behind was 60532 'Blue Peter' on an excursion for Carlisle.

South Alloa: View south over the former South Alloa timber yards and piers. The approach of the South Alloa branch is top left. From it, lines curved to the stone pier and timber piers closer to the camera. The Thermalite factory site was a timber yard, as was the field seen just beyond to the left of the houses. The houses were built on the site of a Globe Petroleum oil depot, the pier which served it still stands. The swing section of the Kincardine Bridge was maintained until the 1980s to allow small tankers to serve this depot.

Rugeley Trent Valley: 66956 heads through Rugeley with the 1251 Southampton to Trafford Park service in August 2014. The power station seen behind has closed and been demolished since this picture was taken.
