Morden: From the moment the LUL Morden station opened on 13th September 1926, to the design of Dr. Charles Holden (1875-1960), the London Underground's Chief Architect between the two world wars (the office block above was added in the 1960s) its forecourt became a bus terminus for several routes fanning out in all directions. In this view bus PVL 229, on route 118 to Brixton, hovers outside the station on 10th November 2012.

Edinburgh Waverley: A Class 305 waits at what was then Waverley's Platform 7 in May 1994 with a North Berwick service. This stock had previously worked out of Liverpool Street and Fenchurch Street and arrived with those route diagrams still posted in the carriages. It was the first of three waves of 'cast-off' stock used exclusively on this line after it was electrified.

Littlewood Siding: The 1501 hrs Ormskirk to Preston service passes the remains of Littlewood Siding SB on 11 February 2021. On previous visits to this site I had failed to notice the wall of the building up against the modern fence, perhaps due to vegetation. The SB had initially controlled rail access to a brick and tile works, however during WW2 this also became the rail access to an extensive ammunition dump. The rail access to the dump forked to the right of the train.

Coulter: Midway between Symington and Biggar the former Caledonian route to Peebles passed through the wayside station at Coulter. The station lost its passenger service along with the rest of the line in 1950, with the last surviving freight-only section to Broughton closing in 1966. View is north towards the level crossing in March 2011, with the platform situated on the far side of the old station house and the goods yard just beyond. Immediately to the left of the level crossing the line ran onto Wolfclyde Viaduct (see image [[6033]]).
