Eyemouth: This car park now covers the site of Eyemouth station, but at a higher level than the old facility. Landfill has been used to support the car park at road level whereas the station was down at harbour level. See image [[81552]] of the station just before closure in 1962, the church and houses providing reference points between that and the present day picture.

Maryport: On the 23rd December 2024, 156444 had just crossed over onto the northbound line to access the only platform at Maryport station whilst working the 1209 Carlisle to Barrow-in-Furness. Despite once boasting a large station building Maryport has only ever had the one through platform.

Bow Depot Junction: This was shot from the original Pudding Mill Lane station [on the Docklands Light], when I worked for Crossrail. It was a really cold Monday in December 2010, and I had just come back from a site visit with the construction team doing early Crossrail diversion works on the City Mill and Waterworks Rivers. One of the team had been shooting that weekend and I was surprised to find a brace of very frozen pheasant on the Heras fence outside the site cabin which had been brought as a Christmas surprise for his boss who was Irish.

Craigellachie [2nd]: A wintry scene at Craigellachie, despite it being April 1968, as an Aberdeen via Dufftown working pulls into the Elgin bound platform. The other platform served Speyside and last saw passenger trains in 1965, although the line through to Aviemore was still open for goods traffic, but would close later that year beyond Aberlour.
