Luckett: This is Luckett on the Callington branch in 2012. The station opened as Stoke Climsdon in 1908, being renamed Luckett the following year. The line beyond Gunnislake closed in 1966 and the station site and house is now a holiday establishment.

Beckton: Exterior of the 1994 DLR terminus at Beckton on 17th October 2025. This stands on part of the original and more direct 1873 branch from Custom House, which served the Gas Light and Coke Company. A small station for workmen's trains was built (further east, closed 1940 and now demolished). As the area was unnamed at the time, it was called Beckton after a Mr. Beck, the General Manager of the said Gas Light and Coke Company. The line crossed Manor Way on a level crossing, behind the camera, and beyond that is now a footpath and cycleway.

Mye Siding: East of Mye Siding the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway crossed over the Mye Burn. The opposite bank is tantalisingly close, but out of reach. There is a farm bridge a bit further north, but I didn't try it.

Fairwood Junction: 47122 heads a rake of four-wheel tipplers on a Merehead to Acton stone service using the avoider line at Fairwood Junction Westbury in May 1974. It was not all Westerns on these trains and one would find 46, 47 and 52 mostly with 33 and odd 25s working stone services in the 1970s. 47122 appears to have some considerable accident damage to the cab!
