Penzance: Not every station has an adjacent heliport. On the other hand, some might have a Tourist Information office which is open on a summer Saturday. Such a facility might be able to tell you where to buy a coffee after 3pm on a Saturday; I don't think I will rush back to Penzance.

Crieff Viaduct: This bridge carried Lady Mary's Walk over the Crieff to Comrie line. The bridge is on the western edge of Crieff, west of Crieff Viaduct. Lady Mary's Walk runs west from Crieff between the former railway and the River Earn for about a mile. It is named for Lady Mary Murray. The footpath provides a useful alternative to the trackbed for several sections where it is impassable.

Edinburgh Waverley: 26028 has some nice new cars in tow, Metros and Rover 200s. I'm thinking this was the Millerhill to Bathgate trip which conveyed cars from Washood Heath loaded at Longbridge. One did not see that much freight at Waverley as most went via the sub.
