Leyland: LSLs 2+5 HST set in unbranded EMT colours was out for a run from Crewe to Carlisle and back via the WCML on 30 April 2021. It is seen passing Leyland on the return trip running very slowly due to a signalling check for a Manchester train crossing at Euxton Junction.

Newcraighall South Junction: A Borders line service bound for Tweedbank about to run through Newcraighall South Junction and onto the double track section on 15 May 2016. The 4-car DMU is on the Network Rail 2014 deviation which runs between Newcraighall and Kings Gate via Shawfair.

Langbank: Fairburn 2-6-4T no 42259 passing through the rock cutting west of Langbank on 26 May 1964 with the 5.43pm semi-fast service to Gourock.

Roseisle Maltings: View south by the Roseisle Maltings in 1998. The sidings have since been lifted and site reused, but the trackbed of the Burghead branch remains.

Wanton Walls Junction [1st]: Wanton Walls Junction was just off to the right here; the remains of the Lothians Lines bridge can be seen in the background. When this picture was taken in 1995 the bridge of the Monktonhall Junction to Niddrie South Junction was still in place, though the line closed 11 years previously. The right abutment remains in 2021, the left one now flattened.

Rannoch Viaduct: 37408 and 402 cross Rannoch Viaduct with a southbound service. The camping coach, left of the station, is on the site of a former long siding.

Cheltenham Racecourse: 7820 'Dinmore Manor', a GWR Collett 4-6-0 presently running in BR lined black livery, leaves Cheltenham Racecourse station on 17th April 2021. This was the G&WR's first operating day after Covid lockdown.

Skibbereen: Ilen River Bridge, Skibbereen with the former station (north) to the left and the line to Baltimore (south) to the right. Although the bridge has been retained it is now a bridge to nowhere and has not been incorporated into any walkway ending abruptly in the face of an hotel building on the right. The line to Baltimore opened in 1893 and closed in 1961.

Westhoughton: 1959 one-inch OS map extract showing the railway junctions around Westhoughton. Top right is Lostock Junction on the Bolton and Preston. Bottom left, just outside Hindley, is Crow Nest Junction. Today this is just the point where two double track lines meet but in 1959 three railways met here, one of which (from Atherton) was four tracks. The closed station top left is Dicconson Lane & Aspull on the line from Blackrod to Hindley. Below that is the 1889 link to Dobbs Brow Junction on the Atherton line. Completion of this effectively formed a L&YR bypass of Bolton. Bottom right is the LNWR line from Kenyon Junction through Chequerbent to Bolton Great Moor Street, closed to passengers by this time. The Chequerbent Incline was originally rope worked. In later years mining subsidence meant that in places steam hauled freights were negotiating gradients as steep as 1:18. Added by Mark Bartlett.

Dicconson Lane and Aspull Halt: Dicconson Lane & Aspull was one of two halts on the short line from Blackrod and Horwich down to Wigan, via Crow Nest Junction. This also provided a by-pass of Bolton for through trains to Manchester via another line from just south of this point, which went under the Westhoughton line before joining the Atherton and Walkden line. See image [[76558]]. Dicconson Lane closed in 1954 but a dwindling number of trains continued to pass through until 1968. There were two platforms and the bricks, seen here near the top of the embankment in April 2021, are probably the last remains of the southbound platform building.

Aberlour: The former station at Aberlour, viewed platform side looking south east in May 2012 , with the river Spey behind the camera. The old station closed to passengers in 1965 and is now home to the Speyside Way visitor centre and tearoom.
