Eyemouth: Victoria Road car park, laid over the site of Eyemouth Station, deep below. The Parish Church is a link to old photos of the area.

Nuneaton Abbey Junction: 66744 on 6M26, an Eastleigh to Mountsorrel empty ballast working, brightens up a dull 2nd October 2025 as it skilfully avoids Nuneaton Abbey Junction (notice the OHLE leading to the junction to the right (as viewed) of this train). Ironically, I had gone to town to phott a full stone train, which didn't turn up. This train was running 14 minutes early, just to keep me on my toes. I saw five freight trains in 20 minutes, hauled by 66s, a 68, and a 70 - quite a variety in modern times.

Highbury and Islington: 378233, London Overground to Stratford, arriving at the rebuilt Highbury and Islington station, at 14.01 on Friday, 26th September 2025, the 175th anniversary of its opening by the East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Railway, renamed North London Railway in 1853.

Darlington North Road: The world's oldest working railway bridge - the Skerne bridge of the Stockton to Darlington Railway. The later parallel plate bridge was removed leaving the arch as seen today and the empty abutments.

Eden Valley Junction: TPE 802213, 1M85 Edinburgh to Manchester Airport, crosses the soon to be replaced bridge over the M6 motorway south of Penrith on 5th October 2025. Below the bridge a small part of the huge construction site can be seen, which will be cleared to revert to farmland after the project concludes in 2026.

Polmadie Depot: Class 92 92023 was named 'Polmadie 150 1875-2025' for the October 2025 Open Day at Polmadie. Operated by GB Railfreight, the Class 92s currently haul the longest passenger train in the UK - 16 coaches on the Caledonian Sleeper services. 92023 was displayed between 90021 'Donald Malcolm' and 93006.

Polmadie Depot: Caledonian Railway 0-4-4T No.419, repainted as LMS 15189, at the Polmadie Open Day celebrating 150 years of the depot on 12th October 2025.

Penrith: TPE 397004, 1M87 Edinburgh to Manchester Airport on 5th October 2025, has just crossed the M6 on the more northerly of the two bridges near Penrith and is now passing the point where the Keswick and Cockermouth line diverged right into a short cutting. I don't know what the excavators and plant were working on but it's a safe bet that it wasn't connected with reopening the Keswick branch, despite much local campaigning.

Eamont Bridge Junction: The North Eastern Railway built a loop line from Eamont Bridge Junction on the WCML to Redhills Junction on the Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith line allowing freight traffic to run through from the Stainmore route on to the Keswick line without having to reverse in Penrith. It was out of use by 1937 and has mostly disappeared but this bridge abutment in the hamlet of Redhills survives. The catenary and a signal on the WCML can be seen beyond the houses.

Eamont Bridge Junction: 6 inch map extract from pre-grouping days showing the triangle of lines to the south of Penrith. The Lancaster and Carlisle Railway runs south to north to the right. The CKPR line from Keswick comes in from the left curving to run northwards into Penrith station. Less well known is the NER Loop line from Redhills Junction on the CKPR which curved southwards passing under the CKPR to join the WCML at Eamont Bridge. There were running powers on the WCML for the short distance to Eden Valley Junction at Clifton where NER trains diverged towards Appleby.

Easter Ballat Occupational Crossing: The stump of a telegraph pole between Easter Ballat and Stoneyacre. Telegraph poles were on the west side of the line on this portion of the railway.

Lincoln Central: 4464 'Bittern', in Garter Blue and fully streamlined, with a return excursion to Kings Cross at Lincoln Central at dusk on 30th December 2014.
