East Linton: LNER Azuma unit, southbound from Edinburgh Waverley, speeding past East Linton, at 12.48 on Tuesday, 4th June 2024.
Blackpool Lytham Road: 156425 has just left Blackpool South heading for Preston on 1st May 2024. A signal on the end of the platform can be seen above the train. The unit is already passing through the site of Blackpool Lytham Road station, which closed in 1916 when Blackpool South (then Blackpool Waterloo Road) was rebuilt with new Lytham line platforms. Behind the trees on the left of the line is a small public car park, on the site of the Lytham Road station forecourt. A bit of vegetation clearance would not go amiss around here.
Wakefield Kirkgate: The view of Wakefield Kirkgate station buildings on 5th June 2024 - quite nicely restored now.
Loch Dochart [Private]: View east over Loch Iubhair. The C&O trackbed survives intact, although overgrown in places, for about a mile along the south side of the loch.
Hamilton West: 37261 collects a cube wagon from the sidings at E G Steele's wagon works in November 2006.
East Linton: A few passengers are waiting at East Linton to join 385005 with 385026 from Dunbar to Edinburgh Waverley, as they call at 13.08 on Tuesday, 4th June 2024. This brand new station is a wind funnel, the usual bus stop style waiting shelters rendered useless when the wind blows strongly as it did on this occasion. The station has two 518 ft. platforms linked by lifts and a footbridge and parking space for 114 cars. For a brand new station only opened in 2023, it is unfortunately unstaffed and lacks public conveniences.
Edinburgh Waverley: Classic view of Waverley looking across the stations east end towards the Calton Hill on a quiet Sunday morning in October 2017.
Bingley Three Rise Locks: Evening sunshine on the Bingley Three-Rise staircase locks but 333005 is in shadow as it leaves the station heading for Skipton with a Northern service from Leeds on 8th June 2024. The repurposed railway goods and grain shed looks to be in good order and still has faded lettering from LMS days.
Camborne: Camborne, made famous by the late comedian Jethro, this train does stop here, even though it is not Wednesday. The 1042 Plymouth to Penzance arrives behind a short Castle Class HST. Behind, on the left, is just a small part of the Holmans factory wall, a place that once employed over 2,000 people in its hey day. Holmans produced Rock Drills and mining equipment.
