Liverpool Street [EL]: I'm not sure if I should have captioned this photo as Liverpool Street or Moorgate but this is looking up the second of the two escalators on the connection from the Elizabeth Line platforms at Liverpool Street to Moorgate station, at 11.43 on Saturday, 4th January 2025.

Brunthill Siding: Rockcliffe Road Bridge ETC/261. Will we seen trains on this line again? I do not think there has been a train on those rails for a long time. This bridge originally carried the Waverley Route and now carries a short line from Kingmoor Marshalling Yard to Brunthill Siding.
