Exhibition Centre: Subway car 55 on display near the Scottish Exhibition & Conference Centre, in conjunction with Model Rail Scotland, in February 1997.

Emerson Park: Emerson Park, opened in 1909 as Emerson Park Halt on the 1893 LT&SR's Romford to Upminster branch and a detached part of London Overground since 2015, looking towards Upminster at 14.49 on Tuesday, 11th February 2025. It still has a halt-like appearance, despite becoming a 'station' without any upgrading, and it's good to see the delightful wooden umbrella-like canopy has survived.

Kittybrewster Junction: Looking north from St Machar Drive on 21st January 2025, with 158705 working the 11.56 Inverurie - Aberdeen. To see a similar view in 2007 see image [[65215]]. At that time the connection to serve the Waterloo branch was sited here but as part of the project to redouble the line a few years ago a new connection was provided south of the site of the former station.

Airbles: Class 318261 leads a a six-car train leaving Airbles. This was 2C26, the 1028hrs Dalmuir to Cumbernauld via Hamilton and Motherwell on 18th February 2025.

Lancaster Quay: This is the point where the spur from the Glasson Dock branch ran on to Lancaster Quay and also accessed the Nairn-Williamson factory. In 2010 I photographed this spot just before the factory was finally demolished - see image [[29233]]. All trace of the railway has gone now, apart from a section of tree covered low embankment, but this footpath and cycle route still follows the line of the quayside spur to access the old railway route.

Blackburn: Northern 156417 departs Blackburn on 17th February 2025, working 2N82 0751hrs Colne to Preston stopper. The goods shed, which still saw operations until closure in the 2010s, can be seen just beyond the Wainwright Bridge. Note that the signals show that all platforms at Blackburn are bidirectional.
