Chilwell Road [Tram]: A tram for Hucknall pauses at the Chilwell Road halt on a quiet Sunday night. This is definitely the only rail picture I have ever taken while waiting for a pizza to be cooked.

Loch Leven: The building on the up platform at the former Loch Leven station, undergoing refurbishment in October 2007. Opened in 1860 as Kinross, this was the third station to carry that name before the change to Loch Leven in 1871. Closure to passengers took place in September 1921, at which time train services were centred on Kinross Junction, a mile to the north west, just beyond the meeting point with the Devon Valley line from Alloa (see image [[20700]]). Off to the left across the overgrown trackbed a similar building (also undergoing refurbishment) stands on the down platform (see [[17064]]). The line closed completely in 1970.

Livingston South: Livingston South, pictured from the southeast, on 9 September 2020. The station was completely rebuilt a couple of years ago and has come on a bit from the creosote-smelling wooden halt I visited on opening day. It still only gets about a quarter of the custom of Livingston North with its more populous catchment area and better service.
