Denny: Although it closed to passengers in July 1930, Denny station was more or less intact when photographed around 1972 looking west. Closure took place in two stages with the section from Carrongrove Paper Mill (W. of Denny) to Bonnybridge SSEB sidings (E of Denny) going on 4th October 1971 and from there to Larbert Junction biting the dust on 3rd April 1972.

Dawlish Warren: 47817 has the Virgin Cross Country 1550hrs Plymouth to Leeds service at Dawlish Warren on 6th August 2001. Always a nice shot later in the afternoon when the sun had come round further from the seaward side. Very slim pickings now if you like loco hauled trains here, It is almost exclusively a unit railway.

West Brompton [Metro]: LU S7 stock, District Line to Wimbledon, arriving at West Brompton at 12.50 on Monday, 17th February 2025. This station was opened alongside the West London Extension Railway station of 1866 (on left, closed 1940, reopened 1999) by the Metropolitan District Railway on 12th April 1869; the original plan to connect with the WLER to allow LSWR trains to run over the District to its then terminus at Mansion House never materialised. West Brompton remained as the terminus of a short branch from Earl's Court until 1st March 1880 when the line was extended to Putney Bridge and through to Wimbledon over LSWR tracks on 3rd June 1889.
