Buxton [Midland Railway]: This wall is the only remnant of the Midland Railway station in Buxton; as you can see from the presence of the blue car on the left, a road has been built over part of the trackbed approach. Speaking of approaches, the street name Station Approach seems appropriate. Be warned that if you walk around Buxton, you may need a personal banker to push you uphill!

Bermuda Park: Not something you see every day - passenger services here are normally on fixed diagrams between Leamington Spa and Nuneaton. Presumably due to engineering work near Nuneaton station, trains from the South disgorged their passengers onto a waiting bus to Nuneaton station, then ran ECS to the crossovers at Chilvers Coton Junction; which is not very photogenic from public access, as it is located on a tall and tree-lined embankment. 196001 is the unit in this picture on 9th February 2025.

Goostrey: A little snow at Goostrey on 6th January 2025 as 323205 calls on a stopping service from Piccadilly to Crewe. This unit is a recent cascade from the West Midlands and has already received Northern vinyls but the interior is unchanged grey and orange upholstery rather than Northern's blue.
