Dalmally: In the summer of 1975, the 10.35 Glasgow Queen Street - Oban calls at Dalmally. The train is formed of 2 x 3-car Metro-Cammell sets and carried headcode 1B11 on a small board, just visible at the bottom of the left side cab window.

Crewe: Platform 1 at Crewe station is hidden away and people probably wouldn't realise it was even there if they weren't looking for it. On Monday 17th February 2025 323224 sneaks in working 2A98 1236hrs Manchester Piccadilly to Crewe. This EMU has spent its entire 31-year career working out of Manchester and it will have seen a lot of change in the northern city over that time.

Scarborough: 40006 with 31298 at Scarborough. Scan of a slide by my friend the late Tony Gale from Devon who sadly died quite recently. Photograph added by Roger Geach.

Edinburgh Waverley: West meets East at the former Suburban platforms on 26 February 2025. Avanti 390107 has arrived from Euston while LNER 801220 waits to leave for London Kings Cross.

Paddington: Statue of Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1959) in his ancestral home, Paddington station, that he designed for the Great Western Railway in 1854, at 05.36 on Saturday, 22nd February 2025.

Vauxhall: The number of high rise buildings have grown since my last visit to Vauxhall! 458419 heads towards Waterloo on 19th December 2024.

Methven: View looking south away from Methven towards Methven Junction. This first short portion of the former trackbed is a pleasant footpath, a core path, which links to various other local paths.

Mossley Hill: 170423, EMR Nottingham to Lime Street on 5th February 2025, passes between the long ramps that lead from the street level ticket office to the two island platforms at Mossley Hill. Immediately beyond the bridge is the site of the first station here, opened with the line in 1864. That also had two island platforms but for some reason the station was relocated to this side of the bridge in 1891.
