Bere Ferrers: Bere Ferrers was originally an intermediate station on the LSWR main line between Plymouth and Okehampton but is now served by the Gunnislake branch services on the surviving southern stump of the line. The building is no longer in use for passengers but is well preserved in private occupation and the replica BR Southern Region green totem sign gives the station added credence. It is seen here from a Gunnislake bound train on 11th March 2017.

Carlisle Kingmoor MPD: Leeds Holbeck Jubilee 45562 'Alberta' makes a fine sight in the afternoon sunshine of 19th August 1967 at Carlisle Kingmoor, having worked north that morning over the Settle & Carlisle with a summer Saturday Birmingham – Glasgow service. Over fifty years later 'Alberta' reappeared on the S&C when West Coast Railways 45699 was repainted and numbered to represent the old favourite from the last days of S&C steam.

Lancaster: 68034 propels a TPE MkV push-pull set out of Lancaster, on a training run from Carlisle to Crewe on 9th March 2021. 68034 is used by Trans-Pennine on an 'as required' basis and so remains in DRS livery and has not yet been named. Covid restrictions mean that I have been unable to try these new trains out, or indeed the TPE 802 bi-modes and 397 EMUs. Hopefully not for too much longer.
