Camelon: 385011 and 385008 arrive at Camelon, with the 11.33 from Edinburgh to Dunblane, on 19th March 2025. The divergence of the tracks beyond is a reminder of the island platform of the first station, closed on 4 September 1967.
Whitworth: This is the site of Whitworth station (closed 1947), looking towards Rochdale from the now filled in bridge at the Bacup end of the station, in February 2025. The station approach ramp is on the left. In the 1950s this would be a view of a small disused station with a single track passing through and, where the sheltered housing is now, a goods shed and yard. The last goods train left in 1967. Behind the camera a road runs along the old trackbed, all the way to the site of Facit station.

Balgowan: A very small bridge survives east of Balgowan at a 3/4 mile post where there was also a level crossing. There had been a crossing keeper's cottage here, just out of shot to the right on the far side of the line.
Ashington: 60026 passes through Ashington on 18th March 2025, with the 09.28 Lynemouth PS - Tyne Coal Terminal empty biomass hoppers.
