Preston: Lumo unit 222005, formerly an East Midlands 'Meridian' set, has been operating a daily Polmadie Preston Stirling Polmadie staff training diagram in November 2025. The debranded train is seen on a crew break in Platform 6 at Preston on 26th November, just as a Midland Pullman excursion from Oxford to Edinburgh passed through on Platform 5. Three daily Euston Stirling services are planned in each direction from Spring 2026.

Oxted: Oxted station with units 1116/1313 arriving. A now vintage tamper is stabled in the siding.

Fiumicino Airport: 'Jazz' EMU Alstom ETR425-044 at Fiumicino Airport with a shuttle service to Rome Termini on 6 June 2025.

Nuneaton: 'Dead or alive, you're coming with me'. 37608 'Andromeda' does its best Robocop impression as it backs onto EMU 730222 on the up reversible at Nuneaton on 10th November 2025. It was delivering the unit from Old Dalby to Bletchley (train code 5Q77), and had just run round after arriving on the Leicester line. I believe this is the first time I have seen this track in use.

Bay Horse: 'Corkickle' is a new destination for trains from Manchester Airport, which appeared with the September 2025 timetable change and the Class 195s being approved to run north of Barrow on the Cumbrian Coast. This is 195106 passing through the cutting at Forton on 6th November 2025. Presumably when Whitehaven tunnel is repaired they will run through to Whitehaven and Workington, or possibly even Carlisle, and Corkickle will become a quiet halt again rather than a bus interchange.

Bay Horse: Beattock to Preston. If only that was a regular passenger working for TPE but this Class 397 was empty stock on 6th November 2025, possibly driver training, and should have run to Motherwell but was late going north and turned back at Beattock. The empty unit is about to pass 397004 on 1S61, Manchester Airport to Glasgow Central.

Aberfoyle Shed: This buffer can be found in Aberfoyle near the site of the former shed. I'm not sure it's original, I don't remember it being there in the 80s, but could be mistaken.

Bethnal Green: 710106, London Overground to Liverpool Street, on the sharply curved approach to Bethnal Green station, at 14.32 on Saturday, 1st November 2025. The main line, where the platforms were closed in 1946 and subsequently demolished, are out of view on the right.
