Highgate: Northern Line route diagram facing the southbound platform at Highgate on 8th December 2025. Had the LPTB's 1935 'New Works' plan for incorporating the former GNR's 'Northern Heights' lines been fully completed, this would show trains from Moorgate to Alexandra Palace via Finsbury Park and Highgate, between Mill Hill East and Edgware and on a new extension beyond the latter to Bushey Heath. North of Edgware, remains of a broken viaduct can still be seen, on which Brockley Hill station would have been sited. It was never used but stands today as a memorial to The Railway That Never Was.

Incline Head [Craigmore]: Turning around, just after leaving the incline head, you can see just how built up the line was here. The built up nature of the line is clearly seen here. It ran on a shelf which was built up (and cut out of) the steep hillside.

Tebay: 44767 doesn`t seem to be in top form as it brings its six coach train, a Birmingham - Glasgow relief, to a halt at Tebay requesting banking assistance. As can be seen from the shot taken on 29th July 1967 it wasn`t a great day for photographers either. The locomotive survived until withdrawal from Kingmoor on 30th December 1967 and was subsequently saved for preservation.
