Killin [2nd]: There was a touch of West Perthshire at the Centenary Manchester Model Railway Exhibition in 2025. The fictional location of Bred Albin was the setting for a micro-layout celebrating 'when diesel locomotives hauled single coach branch line trains'. What caught my eye was the station building, modelled on that at Killin, but the stone signal box and attached cottage is based on that at Drumvaich on the Callander and Oban line.

Accrington: Thanks, central Lancs! - as the industrial relocation ad went in the 1980s. I was travelling to Preston, having had very helpful directions to the (rather run down) Accrington station. The train approaching the station was the 12.12 to Blackpool North.

Twyford: Freightliner 66557 eastbound, from the Merehead Quarries to Hanwell Loop Bridge, passing Twyford on 5th November 2025 running as 6A40. The curving platform accommodates the link onto the Henley-on-Thames branch, the bay for which is behind the platform building. While here I decided on a coffee, but to my dismay a Class 60 passed heading east with a stone train for Quainton and HS2.

Ince: Sprinter 150150 pulls away from Ince with a Southport to Stalybridge service on 19th November 2025. This would normally be a Class 769 working, and reminder notices for drivers of these units have recently appeared at Ince with the overhead wires. The Sprinter is just passing under the new road bridge, to the left of which is the arch for the long closed Ince Hall branch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

Newcastle Central: An HST north of Newcastle Central station in 1988, before electrification

Muchalls Viaduct: McPhersons Bridge, just south of the Muchalls Viaduct, in December 2025. I noticed bridge works a good while back and I thought it had been replaced but it was only the parapets.

Camden Road: The partially abandoned westbound platform at Camden Road, seen from 378212 arriving with a London Overground service from Gospel Oak to Stratford, at 14.40 on Saturday, 17th February 2024. Services west of Gospel Oak were suspended on this day due to engineering works.

Incline Foot [Craigmore]: Above the cutting north of the incline foot the route of the former incline is a little less well defined. This view looks uphill.

Settle Junction: With the Settle & Carlisle line in the foreground, a Class 144 has just cleared Settle Junction and is heading towards Carnforth with a Leeds to Morecambe working in September 2004.
