Appleby: Colas Rail 70802 crosses the A66 on its approach to Appleby station working the 6J37 1252 service from Carlisle Yard to Chirk Kronospan on Thursday 2nd January 2025. The former Eden Valley Line from Kirkby Stephen to Penrith swung in from the west between the trees and the overbridge, then followed the dual carriageway route north to Crackenthorpe. In the distance Blencathra rises to 2,848 feet, towering over the Eden Valley and making this Class 70 locomotive look like a model.

Dalgety Bay: Caledonian Sleeper loco 73966 passes through Dalgety Bay, on its way from Aberdeen to Craigentinny Depot, on 31st December 2024.

Whitley Bay: By the time I had travelled all the way from Pelaw, south of the Tyne, to Whitley Bay on the north-east coast, it was almost dark. This is the unit I travelled on, receding away into the darkness with a train to St. James, at 16.06 on Monday, 16th December 2024.

Seaton Delaval: The new station at Seaton Delaval, a basic platform with a ubiqitous bus stop style shelter, looking north towards Ashington at 10.51 on the second day of services on the reopened line, Monday, 16th December 2024. The line here is single track, originally double, and the platform occupies the site of the lifted track towards Newcastle. At least the panels of the shelter reach the ground, unlike those at Ashington but even so, when the arctic-like north winds blow as they did on this occasion, they offer little protection from the elements - as I found to my cost.

St Fillans: Near the St Fillans monster (or Crocodile) is this bench with a rather nice view to the south from the former railway trackbed.

Plantation Quay: TS ‘Queen Mary’ seen from PS ‘Waverley’ in 1977. I think the location is not far downstream from Bridge Wharf. A large cargo vessel is in one of the Govan graving docks, just beyond the entrance to the Princes Dock. The 'Queen Mary' seems to have been rather unusually moored roughly where 'Waverley' regularly berths nowadays. The warehouses have since been replaced by the BBC building and the Glasgow Science Centre.
