Maud: Looking northwards along the Fraserburgh platform at Maud on 15th April 2025. The surviving station buildings are on an island platform, and Peterhead trains departed from behind those buildings. The lines diverged immediately beyond the platforms and both trackbeds can be walked and cycled.

Long Marston: The RAIL LIVE 2025 trade show at the Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre was blessed with a cloudless blue sky (I realized on returning home that the backs of both of my hands were sunburnt). Allely's are obviously well connected with the heritage fraternity, as they borrowed this 0-6-0T from the SVR at Kidderminster to draw attention to their stand. Nobody arrived by train this year - unlike previous years, with special trains from Paddington and Honeybourne. I used the coach link from Stratford-upon-Avon Parkway station.

Shanklin: Adams O2 0-4-4 tank No W31 'Chale' is at Shanklin on 21 September 1966 and is preparing to rejoin its train and head back to Ryde.

Stonehaven: GBRf 66747 heading Sleeper 1A25 for Aberdeen at Stonehaven on 20th June 2025.

Aberdeen: Platforms at Aberdeen, early on the morning of 19th June 2025, when I turned out to see 37403 in use on this portion of the Caledonian Sleeper, something it did for several nights that week.

Burntisland: 170406 passes Burntisland Docks, with the 12.39 from Dundee to Edinburgh, on 18th June 2025. Where once wagons of coal for shipping filled the background there is a pallet making factory.

Balquhidder [2nd]: This photograph was taken in the cutting south west of Edinchip House. The drainage channels on either side have just about survived.

Brondesbury Park: 66536 heads stone empties from Hitchin back to Wembley Yard, passing Brondesbury Park on 12th June 2025.
