Shawforth: This house and its neighbours sit on the site of the Bacup platform at Shawforth station, which closed in 1947. Other houses on the estate cover the trackbed and goods yard. The steps in front of the house go down behind the wall to the now opened out subway that leads to the site of the street level ticket office (See image [[81814]]).

Tenby: UK Railtours' excursion from Paddington to Tenby and Pembroke, just arrived at Tenby at 13.21 on Sunday, 20th July 2025. The train stayed here until 14.33 when it moved on to Pembroke (the final stretch to Pembroke Dock had to be omitted due to a broken rail.) Day trippers had the option of rejoining the train for the journey to Pembroke or stay an hour longer in Tenby. No prizes for guessing which option I chose!

Eaton Lane Level Crossing: Former Scottish loco 20205 leads 20007 past Eaton Lane level crossing with 6M30, 1000 York to Wembley barrier wagons, on 17th November 2025. Very unusual motive power here. Both these 20s spent time in Scotland and I well recall trying to find 20205 as a Haymarket loco working in the Fife coal fields.

Birmingham Grand Central [Tram]: This potentially deceptive signal says the point is set to allow a tram to continue on the right hand line (as opposed to taking the crossover). This enables the oncoming tram to get to Edgbaston Village (which platform it will arrive in is anyone's guess). It's all a bit academic as the horizontal bar below says STOP.

Preston Street Junction: This long pedestrian underpass runs below the railway at Corkickle.

Buxton: The driver of 70010 performs the mandatory brake test after running round its train from Hindlow to Ashburys in Buxton Up Relief Sidings, prior to taking the ex-Midland line towards Peak Forest. The reverse working conveying empties is able to cope with the adverse gradients of the ex LNWR line via Dove Holes and access the Hindlow Branch direct, thus avoiding the requirement to take the longer route via Peak Forest with its consequent reversal at Buxton.

Aberfoyle: Looking west at Aberfoyle at was the east end of the platform where the signal box was located. The passenger platform stretched away where the car park is now located. The goods yard was on the right where the white buildings are located. A long quarry tramway siding was on the left.

Aviemore: In a shot thought to date from 1972 or 1973 the surroundings of Aviemore station are still undeveloped and the railway features from the 1890s rebuild are still in situ including the north facing bay platform but by that time I think that it had no regular passenger traffic.
