Rawtenstall: Rawtenstall closed to passengers in June 1972 as the terminus of a branch from Bury Bolton Street but until December 1966 the railway had continued east to serve the town of Bacup. On a wet day in 1972 prior to closure this was the view from the platform end looking towards Bacup. Rawtenstall East box controlled this crossing and closed with it. Rawtenstall West has survived into the preservation era.

Currock Junction: 66003 approaches Currock Junction, Carlisle in July 2006 with the 07.40 trip from Carlisle to Dalston conveying loaded fuel tanks from Grangemouth. Going off to the left is the line to Bog Junction which allows direct running from the Maryport direction towards Hexham and also to the WCML via the curve to Upperby. On the right is part of the sidings complex at Currock Wagon Works which closed in 2007.

Inverkeithing: 47848 leads the 'Northern Belle' through Inverkeithing on the Perth - Glasgow Central return leg of a circuit which included Edinburgh and Stirling. 57313 was on the rear.

Kidsgrove: 350108 pulls away from Platform 3 at Kidsgrove, having arrived from Crewe via Alsager with a London Northwestern stopping service for Stafford via Stoke-on-Trent on 4th June 2025.

Kidsgrove: 390137 crosses the pointwork at Kidsgrove as it works 1A39 from Piccadilly to Euston on 4th June 2025. The front of the Pendolino is beginning to swing right onto the 1966 diversion line that was built to allow Harecastle Tunnel to be closed when this line was electrified.

Hooton: Hooton, looking north from disused platforms once served by Paddington to Birkenhead Woodside services. They were withdrawn in March 1967, although they continued to be used by DMUs shuttling between Chester and Woodside until November 1967 when Woodside closed with the service cut back to Rock Ferry. This was curtailed at Hooton in 1985 when electrification was extended from Rock Ferry but these platforms became disused when it was further extended to Chester and Ellesmere Port in 1993 and 1994 respectively and the diesel shuttle withdrawn. Passengers still have to walk along the disused platform to exit the station.

Inverkeithing East Junction: Colas 70801 takes the East/North avoiding line as it heads for Leven on a route learner from Grangemouth.

March: 20311 and 20302 haul 6E21, Parkeston Yard to Worksop track machines, passing through March in the sunshine on 1st July 2025. This was the second of two trips and it was nice to see 20s back through March again. They were regular visitors to Whitemoor yard from Toton back in wagonload days. As March based crews knew them they would go anywhere March men knew, including Temple Mills so would appear now and again in Anglia. A pair were also outbased to work imported coal from Kings Lynn Harbour to Foxton cement works for a time too.
