Bath Junction: This October 2025 view looks south along Monksdale Road in Bath. The spindly steel footbridge replaced an S&D bridge on the approach to the two (Combe Down and Devonshire) tunnels. In the foreground, a bland 1960s building has been demolished, and is being replaced by something more in Victorian style. This is definitely progress. A bit like Charwelton, actually.

Preston Riverside: The five Rail 200 Inspiration coaches have some outstanding bodyside vinyls. One coach houses a generator and staff accommodation and isn't open to the public. Three house interactive exhibitions and this last 'Together' coach, can accommodate a presentation that is local to where the train is visiting. During its stay at the Ribble Steam Railway, volunteers from the Furness Railway Trust, who are based here, were giving a short presentation about the restoration and operation of Furness Railway 0-4-0 No.20.

Brechin North Junction: This is just before the line entered Brechin from Forfar with all signs of the overbridge over a minor road gone. (The A90 is just behind the camera and the location is west of where the lines to Forfar and Edzell parted company.) The fence post is a bit of rail cut with a gas axe, from when the line was dismantled?
