Summerseat Viaduct: As at many previous ELR DMU Galas, there were some units pulling trailing loads. This is resident Gloucester RCW single car W55001, pulling a bogie brake van, crossing Summerseat Viaduct on a short working from Bury to Ramsbottom. Enthusiasts with a day ticket for the gala could pay an extra fee to ride on the brake van verandas.

Millerhill Marshalling Yard [North]: 60075 with a train of loaded HAAs approaches the remains of Millerhill Yard in 1993 with an unrecorded working which, at a guess, is probably destined for Cockenzie PS. A few stabled locomotives are visible together with parts of Dalkeith, Easthouses and Mayfield. In the top centre can be seen a former ventilation shaft, presumably connected with Easthouses Colliery.

Exeter St Davids: A view of the station front at Exeter St Davids on a gloomy morning in November 2025. I have been coming here for many a year, but much preferred my visits in the 1970s. No pictures of the station front then - every click on the camera cost money.

Retford High Level: 93008 and 93010 top n' tail a set of LNER MkIV stock at Retford, bound for Worksop from Neville Hill, on 27th November 2025. The service reversed here.

Saxilby: After departing from a stop at Newark Northgate to pick up further joyriders, UK Railtours' excursion from Finsbury Park to Cleethorpes, Barton-on-Humber and the Immingham freight loop, diverged from the ECML and travelled via Saxilby and Gainsborough Lea Road before returning to the ECML at Doncaster, as befits a railtour, where 37901 was attached at the rear. The train is here passing Saxilby station in Lincolnshire, dating from 1849, at 09.35 on Saturday, 25th October 2025.

Summerseat Viaduct: Viewed from above the southern portal, ELR DMU Gala visitor E79900 emerges from Brooksbottom Tunnel and runs on to Summerseat Viaduct, heading for Bury on 8th November 2025. The single unit ran a solo first round trip on the line but was later coupled to other units.
