Bishops Stortford: 317722 arrives at Bishops Stortford with a Liverpool Street service in 2010. We are looking towards Stanstead at the country end of the station. At one time there was a yard here which received household coal, later a stone terminal served by Croft quarries, but now rail freight here is a thing of the past.

Exeter St Davids: 1023 'Western Fusilier' at Exeter St Davids with the 1155 Paignton to Paddington service on 27th May 1974.

Amberswood (Hindley): Nothing remains in 2024 to show this was the site of Amberswood (or Hindley and Amberswood) station, one of two on the Whelley Loop Line, the other being Whelley itself. Both opened on 1st January 1872 and both permanently closed to passengers just two months later, probably something of a record in the UK. The goods yard here remained open until 1955. Through freights, excursions and diverted trains continued to pass through until 1973. Since closure much of the loop has been converted into a greenway. This view looks south at the station site in January 2024.

Dean Water Bridge [Glamis]: View east towards Glamis showing where the Strathmore main line crosses the Dean Water. This river was also crossed by the Alyth Branch near Cardean.

Treeton: 66248 heads north at Treeton in April 2008, with a special Washwood Heath to Lindsey oil empties working.

Whelley: This is the site of Whelley station, on the loop line of the same name, looking towards Standish in January 2024. The line opened in 1869 as a means of freight trains avoiding Wigan station. On 1st January 1872 two passenger stations opened on the loop, at Amberswood and here at Whelley, with three trains a day to Liverpool. Perhaps most people only wanted to go to Wigan because both stations closed to passengers after just two months. Whelley remained in use as a house, sited on the mound on the right hand side, but was demolished after the loop closed in 1973.
