Ladybank: An Arbroath to Edinburgh service calls at Ladybank on 2 September 2020. The shelters are unsympathetic to the original buildings on both sides. At least we are spared an even more unsympathetic accessible footbridge even though the only stepless way between platforms requires a lengthy detour.

Moy: The diverted Irvine Paper Mill to Aberdeen Waterloo slurry tanks nearing Inverness, hauled by grubby Colas 70816, on 18th September 2020.

Hissmofors: Located beside a waterfall (fors) on the river Indalsälven where a hydro-electric plant was built in the 1890s is this relatively small sawmill (production <200,000 m3 per year). Timber and wood products are transported along this branch line off the West Jämtland mainline (Mittbanan) near the town of Krokom; at the time of my visit the mill was in summer shutdown.

Comrie Railroad, House of Ross: Denver & Rio Grande No.483 being serviced on the House of Ross Miniature Railway in 1989.

Laverton Halt: 7820 'Dinmore Manor,' drifting tender first down from Broadway to Toddington, near Laverton village on 19th September 2020.

Griff No 4 Colliery: Well griced by moonlight: standing a few metres South of Croft Road towards Heath End Road, we are close to two disused trackbeds. Under the trees to the right, one railway connecting Nuneaton Brick Works to the Coventry Canal - and later serving Griff #4 colliery - passed under Croft Road; the road bridge was a single track bottleneck, filled in and demolished in the 1980s (there are still sink marks in the tarmac road surface). The tarmac footpath leads (curving left after the lamp post) to the track of a waste line from the tile works, which is now a line of trees in a local green space.

Helwith Bridge Quarry Siding: The RCS 'North Pennine Staycation Express' is seen approaching Helwith Bridge with 47712 leading the 1035 service from Appleby to Skipton on 8 September 2020.

Meols Cop: A Southport to Manchester Victoria service pauses at the first calling point, the island platform at Meols Cop, on 14th October 2020. The substantial L&YR platform canopy was removed many years ago.

Aviemore: Ex-CR 57594 leaves Aviemore on 1218 Aviemore - Elgin (via Craigellachie).
