Goostrey: Goostrey station is at the top left of this view, but much more interesting is the Jodrell Bank radio telescope in the centre of the view by the railway.

Goostrey: The radio telescope at Jodrell Bank, just to the north of Goostrey station, has been a lineside landmark for many years now. This picture from a northbound EMU on a stopping service on 6th January 2025 doesn't really do it justice as the huge structure towers above the line and can be seen more closely through the trees as the train passes the site.

Crieff [2nd]: In this 1997 view, looking north west from the demolished Duchlage Road bridge, the site of Crieff goods yard was to the left and Crieff [2nd] to the right with the lines dividing in the foreground. The fence was roughly the demarcation between the two.
