Hatton [GNSR]: A realignment of the A90 at Hatton completely cleared the Boddam branch station site, apart from the goods yard where Ewan photographed the old green goods shed in 1997 [[0228]]. The old Station Hotel is just off picture to the left and this minor road that now forms a junction once crossed the railway on an overbridge. The housing development meant the old shed was cleared away and there are now few clues for people on the A90 that a station ever existed here.

Tower Hill [2nd]: LU S7 stock, clockwise Circle Line to Edgware Road at Tower Hill, at 14.01 on Saturday, 10th May 2025, which will head towards the camera when it departs. This station opened in 1967 on the site of the short-lived Tower of London station (1882-1884) which was replaced by Mark Lane to the west and renamed Tower Hill in 1946. By the 1960s, this had become dilapidated and was replaced by the present station, back where the original Tower of London station had once stood. The 1884 station is the only station on the London Underground, now abandoned, which I used many times as a boy.

Kingshouse Halt: There was a small halt serving the Kinghouse Hotel (extreme right of view), Balquhidder Glen, and Balquhidder village itself, off to the left. This view looks north east. The halt was actually out of shot, below the camera. To get to the platform there was a footpath which ran along the east side of the trackbed from the Balquhidder Glen road.
