Stalybridge: Manchester Victoria to Stalybridge TPE services go electric. Two different hybrids at Stalybridge on 5th November 2024. TPE 802209 pulls away from Stalybridge, heading for Huddersfield and Newcastle on 5th November 2024. In the bay platform, Flex unit 769450 waits to return to Southport. The newly electrified line between here and Victoria has been energised, and the Southport service departed 'pan-up', but the TPE train from Lime Street changed to diesel power before departing Manchester Victoria. However, TPE 802s began electric running between Victoria and here on 2nd December - see recent news item.

Tighnabruaich Pier: PS ‘Caledonia’ at Tighnabruaich in the late 1960s.

York Shed: 20167 and 20092, stabled on York shed on 11th March 1987. There were always some 20s about in those days around York.

Ayr: The new station building at Ayr, on Platform 1, is nearing completion. 30th November 2024.

Gunnislake: Gunnislake station in either March or April 1968. Until November 1966, the line had continued to Callington but was cut back to Gunnislake, which of course remains open today. The station itself was resited in 1994, to allow a low bridge to be removed, although by that time the line had become a single track basic railway.

Bromley South: Brand new Irizar tram-like bus on Bromley High Street, near Bromley South station, curtailed from its planned destination at Orpington station at a place called Green Street Green, at 13.37 on Saturday, 23rd November 2024. No explanation for the curtailment was given.

Scottish Deer Centre: The Scottish Deer Centre near Cupar opened a new miniature railway in October 2024. Following a competition for local children, the railway has been named 'The Haggis Expressway'. This very presentable representation of a Type 2, in West Coast Railways maroon livery, used to operate on Kerr's Miniature Railway at Arbroath but is now the motive power here.

Woodley [MSLR]: 150131 calls at Woodley with a Rose Hill (Marple) to Piccadilly service on 30th October 2024. The Sprinter has just crossed the junction for the short freight branch to the still active Bredbury Stone and Waste terminals. This was once a through route to Stockport Tiviot Dale and beyond but the rest of the line closed after the Woodhead freights ceased in 1981.

Appleby East: Looking south from Appleby Level Crossing towards Warcop on the 25th November 2024, you can see how much the vegetation has taken over in recent years. The old station building is still in situ but now part of a scrap metal yard. Photo [[21207]] shows this spot in 2007, but the level crossing gates are long gone.

Comrie Viaduct: The last two remaining arches of the Comrie Viaduct in a view looking south west.

Glasgow Central: TPE 397001 about to load up and depart Glasgow Central slightly late (10 minutes due to late arrival of train crew) under headcode 1M86, the 1105hrs to Manchester Airport on 27th November 2024.
