Bromborough: Bromborough, looking across from the surviving northbound platform of the one-time four-platform layout, on 30th April 2025. Only two platforms survive along with this original building and the stairwells and covered footbridge to and from the ticket office. Passengers using this cross the abandoned trackbed once used by the Paddington to Birkenhead Woodside service until March 1967, robbing Birkenhead of its direct London trains. DMUs from Chester and Ellesmere Port continued to use the tracks, cut back from Woodside to Rock Ferry in November 1967, until September 1985 when electrification was extended from Rock Ferry to Hooton.

Southport: 777032, Merseyrail Northern Line at Southport at 13.21 and which arrived three minutes earlier with myself on board, having joined one stop back at Birkdale, on Tuesday, 29th April 2025. I allowed for an hour or so's break and a walk around Southport which I had not visited since the early 1990s, before returning to the station to start making my way back to Liverpool, stopping first to visit the Ormskirk and Headbolt Lane branches.

Edinchip Accommodation Bridge: In Glen Ogle the line had to climb hard to reach the summit. This view looks north west to the summit. In this view it almost looks like there was no route through. The rockfall which blocked the line is distance.

Glenfinnan: Black 5 44767 leaves Glenfinnan on its way back to Fort William with a 1985 ‘West Highlander’ excursion. Unfortunately I cannot remember why the Class 37 was present on the headshunt.
