Hawarden Bridge: 230010, one of a fleet of five owned by Transport for Wales for Borderlands Line services, pauses at the Hawarden Bridge request stop on 16th October 2024. Three of these hybrid battery/diesel trains are needed daily to maintain the 45 minute interval service between Bidston and Wrexham but for much of October two of the three diagrams were being operated by TfW Class 197 DMUs.

Salwick: 86259 'Les Ross' at the head of the UK Railtours 'Blackpool Can Can' excursion from Euston to Blackpool, passing through Salwick on 9th November 2024. Participants were able to spend almost seven hours in the resort, plenty of time for tram rides and the other attractions.

Chingford: This bridge carries what is now the London Overground Chingford to Liverpool Street line between Chingford (to the north, right) and Highams Park (to the south, left) and dates from 1971, replacing Hatch Lane level crossing with Hatch Lane itself diverted under the bridge. Seen here through the front upstairs windows of a no. 212 bus from Chingford Station to Walthamstow Central, at 14.40 on Monday, 28th October 2024. A station at Chingford Hatch, south of the former level crossing, was once proposed by the GER but it was never built. It would come in useful these days as the line here is surrounded by housing.

Burntisland: 43036 leads the 12.07 from Aberdeen to Edinburgh through Burntisland on 31st October 2024.

Millerhill Yard Junction: 26024 is seen light loco at Millerhill Yard Junction in May 1986. The Type 2s were getting rarer by this time.

Busby: Artist's impression of the new footbridge at Busby.

Carlisle Kingmoor Shed: It is Carlisle Kingmoor shed on a sunny 26 May 1964, as ex-Midland 0-6-0T No 47236 takes a rest from station pilot duties.

Strowan Tunnel: Looking north through Strowan Tunnel. Both ends of the tunnel are blocked with metal fences but a nearby road provides an alternative. On the approach to both portals the trackbed was pretty flooded.

Guide Bridge: View from BR Scottish Region's June 1968 'Grand Rail Tour number 5' at Guide Bridge East Junction. The tour had a rather splendid itinerary. Diesel hauled from Edinburgh to Carnforth via Stirling, Beattock and Shap, Britannia Pacific 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' in charge on the Carnforth-Guide Bridge and Guide Bridge-Hellifield stages, E26052 from Guide Bridge over the Woodhead route to Sheffield Victoria and back, diesel hauled return from Hellifield to Edinburgh via Ais Gill, Dumfries and Stirling.
