Uppermill: Uppermill station opened with the Micklehurst Loop, which paralleled the main Standedge route, in 1886. The loop was primarily for goods traffic and the station closed to passenger in 1917. It had substantial goods facilities which remained open until 1964. The last through train on the Loop ran on 2nd October 1966. Station House, similar to others on the Micklehurst Loop (see [[89239]]), has continued in residential use. Most of the line is now a public bridleway with an elevated footbridge in place here to replace the old railway bridge.

Camden Road: The graffiti-scarred London Overground bridge over Camden Road, once part of the Broad Street to Richmond line that Beeching wanted to close, seen from a DW type bus on TfL route no. 29 to Trafalgar Square, on 4th July 2024. The entrance to Camden Road station, which still bears its original name Camden Town, is beyond the bridge on the right and is a splendid surviving section of the station that originally opened in December 1850 by the East & West India Docks & Birmingham Junction Railway, renamed to the much simpler North London Railway in 1853.
