The view looks west with the cattle pens, station, and connection to the NBR, off to the right. At the time of promotion of the railway there were coal mines in the Dolphinton area, closed by the time of the opening. So the slim traffic the two competing lines could have carried was already reduced before opening. The site is now housing.

Polton: The site of Polton station in 1997 in a view looking north east over the site, now occupied by houses. The route of the goods line to Springfield Paper Mills survived as a dirt path. This siding side-stepped the station, passing round the rear of the platform and station building. It was off to the left between the River North Esk and the houses. Several sleepers survive in place.

Lyne Viaduct: Lyne Viaduct seen from the south west in 1997. Since the photograph was taken the undergrowth has grown somewhat, a telephone pole erected and fence replaced by a dry stane dyke. It is a particularly fine viaduct with crosses carved deeply into the stonework, like that closer to Peebles ([[Neidpath Viaduct]]), presumably to keep a landowner happy.

Dolphinton [CR]: The platform and original station building at Dolphinton (Caledonian) station still stood in 1997. The site was in use as a garden centre at the time. This site has since largely been obliterated.

Falahill Summit: Falahill Summit looking north in 1997. The former line was to the right and the sidings to the left. The former railway cottage can be seen further along the line, on the left.

The open area in the foreground is part of the Scarborough - Whitby coastal path. Photographed on 20 April 2009 looking north east.

Glasgow Central: Glasgow Central was built in the 1870's on the site of (and on top of) Grahamston Village, which although in the heart of modern day Glasgow was for long enough separate from Glasgow itself. When the Caledonian Railway built Glasgow Central, Grahamston was demolished. The only thing that marks Grahamston's existence is this plaque mounted at the top of the escalator at the Hope Street entrance to Glasgow Central. It commemorates the Alston Street Theatre which was Glasgow's first theatre (although at that time not within the city boundaries). This was erected as part of the Glasgow Theatre Trail, and unveiled by Rikki Fulton in 1990

Wykeham: Entrance to the 1882 station at Wykeham, North Yorkshire, in April 2009. Photograph taken looking north west from what is now a private road off the A170. The former weighbridge office stands on the left. Wykeham station closed in 1950.

Larpool Viaduct: Looking east along the Esk towards Whitby from the south bank in April 2009 with the Scarborough and Whitby Railway's Larpool Viaduct dominating the scene. The Whitby - Grosmont route still passes below the viaduct (third arch from left) while the steep connecting spur that once ran from Whitby Town to Whitby West Cliff ran through the leftmost arch.

Goathland [1st]: Old bridge on the North Yorkshire Moors, just over a mile south of Goathland, that once carried the original Whitby and Pickering Railway. This section of the line was abandoned in 1865 in favour of the current route to the east, which avoided the cable-worked Beck Hole incline. The original route crossed the road top right, with the former W&PR gate house still standing. The deviation crosses the same road on a bridge behind the camera see image [[28461]].

Grosmont Shed: D7628 was built by Beyer Peacock and delivered new to Tinsley diesel depot in August 1965. It was eventually withdrawn by BR from Cricklewood in March 1987 as 25278. The preserved locomotive is seen here receiving attention on Grosmont shed on 20 April 2009, after bringing in the first train of the day from Pickering.

Levisham: First train of the day from Pickering, hauled by D7628, waits at the level crossing at Levisham on a fine spring morning in April 2009, before continuing its journey north with a service for Grosmont.

Goathland: The twin railway bridges that cross the unclassified road over the North Yorkshire Moors, in the remote countryside between the A169 and the village of Goathland, photographed looking west on 20 April 2009. The nearest of the two bridges carries the current NYMR south from Goathland towards Levisham, while the bridge in the distance is on the original 1836 alignment, much beloved of horse-power and cable haulage, prior to its closure in 1865 in favour of the easier route.

Cloughton: The closed station and goods shed at Cloughton on the Whitby - Scarborough line, looking north on 20 April 2009. The converted buildings now incorporate an acclaimed tea-room known as 'The Station House'.

Ravenscar: The town that never was... Ravenscar, on the Yorkshire Coast, between Whitby and Scarborough. Much of the land was purchased in 1895 by the Ravenscar Estate Co, to develop a resort to compete with its well known neighbours. New roads were constructed, drainage installed, plots laid out and offered for sale in the new town. Special trains were chartered to bring in prospective purchasers to the station opened there in 1885 (then known as Peak). Unfortunately, the ill-researched project was a flop, with the development company going into liquidation in 1913, having changed the landscape forever, with its empty roads and occasional housing an oddity to this day. The photograph shows Ravenscar station site looking north towards Whitby in April 2009. In the background is the former Ravenscar House Hotel on Station Square, built to accommodate those visiting the area to select plots!

Grosmont Tunnels: The south portal of the original 130 yard tunnel at Grosmont in April 2009, now in use as a pedestrian route between the station and the NYMR locomotive shed (behind camera). For a view of the north portal see image [[24122]].

This Scarborough & Whitby Railway viaduct, on which work began in 1882, carried the railway to West Cliff station see image [[21088]] on the north side of the river, from where it continued north west along the coast to Middlesbrough. This section of the line was closed in 1965 and now forms part of a walkway/cycleway.

Grosmont: BR Standard class 4 2-6-0 no 76079 calls at Grosmont on 20 April 2009 with a Whitby - Pickering train. The fully enclosed platform shelter on the right was relocated here from the disused down platform at nearby Sleights station.

Dalmore Mill: Trackbed of the Penicuik branch looking west towards Auchendinny Tunnel in April 2013. On the left lie the remains of the recently demolished Dalmore Paper Mill, with new housing already beginning to take over the site.

York: Grand Central Adelante 180107 pulls away from York on a service from Kings Cross to Sunderland on 20th April 2013.

Theydon Bois: LUL 1992 stock no. 91277 on a Central Line service to Epping arriving at its penultimate stop at Theydon Bois, in rural Essex, on 20th April 2013. This station was opened by the Great Eastern Railway on 24th April 1865 with the extension of the former Eastern Counties Railway's Stratford to Loughton branch to Ongar and was first served by LUL tube trains on 25th September 1949 with the extension of electrification from Loughton to Epping.

Eskbridge: Approaching Penicuik from Auchendinny the line passed below this notable skew-arch bridge carrying a minor road. What looks like a level crossing gate in the distance is there to prevent unauthorised vehicles accessing the trackbed. Beyond the gate stood the small station of Eskbridge (closed in 1930) of which no trace remains see image [[22646]].

Inverness: 158702 BBC Scotland 75 years brings up the rear of the 19.58 to Elgin, at Inverness on 20 April.

Auchendinny Tunnel: The graceful curved of Auchendinny Tunnel on the Penicuik branch, looking east towards Hawthornden Junction in the spring of 2013. The photograph was taken from the bridge over the North Esk, which was crossed by westbound trains immediately on leaving the tunnel to reach the platform of Auchendinny station. For the view looking back from inside the tunnel mouth see [[54722]].

York (Old): Alongside York's city walls, and the pedestrian entrance to George Stephenson House (Network Rail HQ), is this unmistakable former railway hut. The arch in the background was created so that trains could pass through the wall to the original Y&NM terminus, later replaced by York's present day through station.

Auchendinny Tunnel: Looking west towards Auchendinny Tunnel on 20 April, with the remains of the former station located just beyond the far end. Taken from the site of Dalmore Mill, the last of the Midlothian paper mills on the North Esk, closed in 2004. The old mill has since been demolished and a new housing development is currently underway here.

Gregson Lane: WCRC 57316 heads west from Mintholme LC towards Gregson Lane with a charter train on 20 April 2013. Bringing up the rear was 57601.

Hoghton: Colas Railfreight 56105 approaches Hoghton on 20 April 2013 with the Carlisle to Chirk log train.

Firth Viaduct: About to leave Firth Viaduct, on the outskirts of Auchendinny, heading west along the former Penicuik Branch on 20 April 2013. In the middle distance is the east portal of Old Woodhouselee Tunnel. The trackbed here now forms part of the Penicuik - Dalkeith Walkway.

San Francisco: Pier 43 and its Headhouse in the Port of San Francisco. Built in 1914 by the Belt Railroad for loading train-ferries. Through the arch is the Liberty ship, SS Jeremiah O' Brien, moored at Pier 45. Launched in WW11, still very much seaworthy and powered by reciprocating triple expansion steam engines.

Dava: Remains of a platelayer's hut near Dava Summit in April 2014. [Ref query 7171].

Sheriffhall City Bypass Overbridge: View north towards the Edinburgh city bypass on 20 April 2014, with much of the infilling work now completed on both sides of the new bridge over the Borders Railway route.

Newcraighall South Junction: View south west along the turnback siding at the north end of Millerhill Yard on Sunday 20 April 2014, with the yard itself off picture to the left. Beyond the buffer stops work is well underway on extending the Borders Railway route towards the site of the next station at Shawfair.

Blaenavon: The Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway has recently restored operations to Blaenavon High Level station. This is the last (16.40) service to Furnace Sidings on 20 April passing the Big Pit mining museum see image [[25792]]. It's a short run, but a steep gradient; so the sound effects are excellent.

Dava Summit: The trackbed looking north from the summit towards Dava on 20 April 2014.

Dava Summit: Remains of a snow fence looking south towards Grantown-on-Spey, with the Cairngorms in the distance.

Fushiebridge [2nd]: The trackbed north from Fushiebridge station site on 20 April 2014. The town of Gorebridge stands in the distance.

Pontypool Crane Street: This rather run down building was formerly the Lower Race wagon works, adjacent to the Pontypool to Neath line just West of Clarence Street station. When I lived in Wales, this was a good value car scrapyard. Going by the screens bolted onto the skips, there is something very hush-hush going on there now; or at least when I took this picture in 2014.

Borthwick Bank Signal Box: Stone me! The cutting at Borthwick Bank on 20 April 2014, looking north towards Fushiebridge.

Simi Valley: Amtrak's Los Angeles - Seattle Coast Starlight service rolls into Simi Valley, California, on 20 April 2014 heading north up the spectacular Pacific west coast. The train, which includes sleeping cars, dining cars and observation saloon, covers the 1,377 mile journey, with its 29 scheduled stops, in just under 35 hours.

Fushiebridge [1st]: View south at Fushiebridge, Sunday morning 20 April 2014.

Dava Summit: The trackbed of the line over Dava Moor has largely been incorporated into the Dava Way. Between Grantown-on-Spey and Dava the line climbed to a height of 1052 feet, a summit still marked by this (easily missed) sign. See image [[26650]]

Pontypool and New Inn: This location isn't as sylvan as it looks - there are two tracks of railway and four busy lanes of road under that concrete bridge. Now that the former Pontypool Road station building has been demolished see image [[9934]], and Crane Street station building removed, the only railway building left in the former 'Crewe of South Wales' is this station masters house, which was renovated in the late 1980s. Recent modifications have further changed the building's character, although the tile hung wall has obvious benefits when it rains.

Pontypool: The Eastern Valley line from Newport to Blaenavon threw out two branches in the Northern Pontypool suburb of Pontnewynydd. One went back South to Town Bridge; the other split in two to serve two collieries. Straight on in this view - loking West - led to Cwmnanntdu pit. The line to Cwmffrwdoer curved to the right, as this road through the Gwenallt Industrial Estate does today. Perhaps in consideration of potential pronunciation problems by visitors, the railway company settled on my favourite name for a junction: Branches Fork.

Big Pit Mining Museum: Not every preserved railway has doubled its number of stations in the last year or two. This recently-built halt is visible from Big Pit museum, making it harder for visitors to the former coal mine to be ignorant of the steam railways existence. Having said that, services from Furnace Sidings to this platform are usually diesel powered, whereas the main line service from Whistle Inn to Blaenavon High Level is normally steam - hauled see image [[47060]]. This is similar to the dual services from Lydney Junction to Norchard and Parkend on the Dean Forest Railway.

Big Pit Mining Museum: Imagine that you are a miner, about to go underground. This view of a saddle tank and wagons from the window could be the last daylight view you see for eight hours or more. Hope you like trains.

Big Pit Mining Museum: Here is a picture oozing with atmosphere, from the sleeper crossing in the foreground and the foundations of a demolished hut to the pit props waiting to be used underground. The dark horizontal line across the hills in the background is also historic. According to local legend, a large excavator had been shipped to Blaenavon in parts and built on site to do a job. Its next job was just a few miles South, so they used it to dig its own road along the hillside. This took place shortly after WW2 - presumably, the word remediation had not yet entered the dictionary.

Woodlands Road [Tram]: Although Woodlands Road only finally closed in December 2013 the station has been quickly cleared. This view from a Manchester bound Metrolink service in April 2015 shows the newly landscaped area where the platforms once stood. See image [[47605]] for the same location the previous summer.

Manchester Victoria: The new three line Metrolink platforms arrangement at Victoria is now taking shape, and trams are calling again although work is not yet finished. With the roof cladding now in place, a double tram for Bury pulls into the centre road on 20th April 2015. See image [[49339]] for the same location six months earlier.

Queens Road [Tram]: When Metrolink services first started to Bury, Queens Road was a staff halt for the adjacent depot and not open to the public, although it is now part of the passenger network. The line visible through the fence is the old rail connection from Queens Road Junction to Cheetham Hill that now serves as one of the depot access links. 3058 calls at the station on 24 April on its way into Manchester.

Didsbury Village: Metrolink 3011 calls at Didsbury Village on an East Didsbury to Rochdale service in April 2015. Didsbury railway station, previously just beyond the bridge, closed in 1967 but rail borne services returned 46 years later with the opening of the East Didsbury tram line in 2013.

Cornbrook Viaduct: Driver's view from a Metrolink service running on to the (1877) Cornbrook Viaduct. To the right are the lower main line tracks on the original Castlefield Viaduct and Castlefield Junction where the trams are carried over the line to Ordsall. To the left, hidden by the lattice, is the now disused Castlefield (1894) Viaduct. Both the high level bridges led to Manchester Central, which can just be seen to the right of the Beetham Tower.

Queens Road Depot: Afternoon grab shot of the Queens Road Metrolink Depot from a passing Bury line tram in April 2015. The line on the far left is the access from the Rochdale line. Beyond the depot the old trackbed continues down to Manchester Victoria through the site of the well known Red Bank carriage sidings.

Bowker Vale [Tram]: View from a Manchester bound tram approaching Bowker Vale on the Bury line in April 2015. Like other stations on this and the Altrincham line, most of the platform is no longer in use. Only a short section, sufficient for a four car tram, is now maintained to passenger standard.

Queens Road Junction: Driver's view of Queens Road Junction from a Bury to Manchester tram. In main line days this was where the line to Cheetham Hill diverged from the electric line into Victoria. Now it is one of the access points to Queens Road Metrolink Depot. Queens Road tram station is just under the bridge on the Victoria line.

Milngavie: Milngavie viewed from the trackbed of the former third platform - now a walkway beside the station.

Trafford Bar [Tram]: Driver's view from an East Didsbury to Rochdale tram approaching Trafford Bar. The old Midland trackbed has been raised up to the level of the Altrincham line (and Old Trafford Depot) at this point but Manchester bound services then drop down again. Passing under the Altrincham line the closed tunnel of the old line to Throstle Nest Junction is seen and the tram then climbs up into Trafford Bar station See image [[50116]]. The first two are on the former CLC route.

Cornbrook: View from a city bound tram approaching Cornbrook, which opened to passengers in 1999 but was only an interchange between Altrincham and Eccles trams until 2006 when a street access point opened. The approaching tram is passing over the points for the Eccles line while to the right are the Network Rail tracks of the Irlam and Warrington line.

Bowker Vale [Tram]: Most of the main line infrastructure at Bowker Vale has been replaced by Metrolink but the station footbridge, albeit no longer a covered structure, is a relic from railway days. 3032 rolls in on 20th April with a service from Bury to Etihad Campus on the Ashton line.

Smedley Viaduct Junction: A double tram runs across Smedley Viaduct on its way from Rochdale to East Didsbury on 20 April 2015. The trams are taking the chord up to Irk Valley Junction but the other bridge still carries tracks as the old Cheetham Hill line is used to access Queens Road Metrolink depot. This image taken from the end of Queens Road platform.

Manchester Victoria: The temporary single Metrolink track through Manchester Victoria has been replaced by a complex junction for the second city crossing that is under construction. Metrolink 3043 negotiates the pointwork as it enters the covered area in April 2015. See image [[49303]] taken six months earlier.

Preston: During April 2015 the Caledonian Sleeper produced 87002 on the front on several occasions when Class 92 locomotives were not available. At just before 0100 hrs on the 20th it appeared at Preston once again working the train as far as Edinburgh.

Prestwich [Tram]: Two Metrolink trams meet at Prestwich, not an unusual occurrence with a six minute interval service frequency on the Bury line. This view looks towards Bury. The plain looking canopies with a heavy girder above date from BR days and similar ones survive at several other stations on the line.

Carstairs South Junction: A view of the de-vegetated Carstairs triangle.

Carrbridge: With paintwork gleaming,66736 'Wolverhampton Wanderers' makes the short trip from Inverness to Carrbridge with The Royal Scotsman.Pictured passing Castletown near Inverness.

Moy: GBRf 66746 passing through the moor at Moy on the way to Aviemore.

Kilmarnock: 'Storm in a tea cup' - superb name for the cafe at Kilmarnock station.

Helensburgh Upper: The 14.43 Helensburgh Upper to Queen Street Low Level pulls in exactly to time, having come in two halves from Oban and Mallaig. Only stops now - Dumbarton Central and Dalmuir. Somehow it managed to lose 20 minutes on this last leg, largely due to allowing an all stations stopper to precede it from Dumbarton!

Yoker Slip: A view south from Yoker Slip to Renfrew where one of the present ferries can be seen distantly.

Dalwhinnie: A very late Inverness bound Caledonian Sleeper at Dalwhinnie on 20/04/2017 waits for the Kings Cross bound Highland Chieftain to appear.

Dinnet: The former station building at Dinnet, complete with totem, now an office. Seen from the approach road in April 2017.

Dinnet: Inside looking out. View south across the platforms at Dinnet from the former station on 20 April 2017. Following closure of the line the building was fitted out for use as an office by the Dinnet & Kinord Estate. (Note the circular window, once occupied by the platform - facing station clock) see image [[22909]]. The trackbed here now forms part of the Deeside Way. [Ref query 1001]

Dinnet: Old timetable for the Deeside line retained by staff in the estate office at the former Dinnet station. Note the first train from Aberdeen at 8.5am covers the 41 miles to Ballater in 1 hour 40 minutes, arriving at 9.45am. Note also the motor coach connection times for the additional 16 miles to Braemar! See image [[40737]]

Burntisland Viaduct: Burntisland this morning, with a 158 leaving for Waverley, the ship yard is very busy.

Burntisland [1st]: One of the the southern, harbourside, of the two pedimented porches of the original Burntisland station building of 1847.

Burntisland [1st]: The classical original terminus building, looking well, now used for small businesses and artists' workshops. The building was in use as railway offices until the 1960s, remaining disused since making its survival all the more remarkable.

Galgate: Nearly forty of the fifty Class 90s built are still working in 2017, with the remainder stored for various reasons. Freightliner have ten operational locos including 90046 and 90048, seen here passing Hampson Lane bridge between Galgate and Bay Horse with a Coatbridge to Daventry container train on 20th April 2017. See image [[54821]]

Dalgety Bay: 68007 calls at Dalgety Bay with the 18.16 from Glenrothes with Thornton to Edinburgh on 20 April.

Dinnet: The former station building at Dinnet on 20 April 2017 looking east along the platform towards Aboyne. Note the unusual round window, installed as a replacement for the old station clock during conversion to office accommodation see image [[58970]].

Ledcharrie Viaduct: Ledcharrie Viaduct seen from the north east.

Lochend Junction: The signal box of the onetime Lochend South Junction, later Lochend Junction, would have occupied the centre of this picture, with double tracks in each side. In the foreground was the cord linking the Abbeyhill loop with the Leith Central branch at Lochend North (to the right). There were various sidings fitted in too. Today the single disused track of the Powderhall branch remains.

Killin Junction: Killin Junction in 2018 looking across from the Oban bound platform to the southbound face of the island platform (the Killin platform was on the far side). Beyond the platforms is the former railway cottage, now restored. See [[82053]] for a view of the building in 1990.

Easter Road Park Halt: The gentle curve of Lochend Butterfly Way follows the course of the Leith Central branch through the site of short-lived Easter Road Park Halt (for the Hibs ground). It was not on the public timetable and consisted of a wooden platform and a sign! It was in a cutting which has long been filled in, but it was somewhere below this spot with its (arrivals only) platform on the far side.

Ledcharrie Viaduct: This is the underside of the eastern arch of Ledcharrie Viaduct. Looks like it had taken a beating. Those rods are fastened to old rails bolted to the side of the bridge.

Ardchyle Viaduct: Ardchyle Viaduct, south side, crossing the Ardchyle Burn and showing the great height of the central span of the viaduct over the water course.

Ledcharrie Viaduct: Ledcharrie Viaduct seen from the south. If it appears to be on a slight slope that's because it actually is. The ground rises to the right, the viaduct is on the long uphill slog from Luib to Killin Junction and on to Glenoglehead. In the background is Beinn Bhreac. This was a particularly scenic length of line, now lost, alas!

Ardchyle Viaduct: Ardchyle Viaduct, just west of Killin Junction, seen from the south. This is a very high bridge, the Ardchyle Burn is some way below.

Moses Gate: Northern 156454 runs non-stop through Moses Gate with a northbound service heading towards Bolton on 20th April 2019.

Monmouth Troy: It's always good to see young people using old railway lines, if only for impromptu social gatherings. An app of youngsters gather on the viaduct across the Wye (and Wye not, as Barry Norman might say) on the Monmouth to Ross line.

Bolton: With the WCML closed over Easter between Euxton Junction and Warrington (and north of Lancaster) Virgin West Coast and TPE rerouted some services via the newly electrified route via Bolton. 390042 runs slowly through platform 3 at Bolton with the 9M54 Lancaster to Birmingham New Street on 20 April 2019. This is believed to be the first Pendolino in passenger service to work over this route.

Monmouth Troy: The viaduct on the Chepstow line at Monmouth, seen from the embankment on the Ross line in April 2019. Very decorous it is, too.

Horwich Parkway: TPE Class 350 set passes Horwich Parkway whilst working the 1S66 from Manchester Airport to Lancaster on 20 April 2019 whilst the normal route from Golborne Jct to Euxton Jct was closed for engineering work.

Monmouth Troy: Just off the Eastern end of the platforms at Monmouth Troy, the railway split to head for Ross-on-Wye (left) or Chepstow (right). The PW hut is original, the brick gatepost more modern. The viaduct on the Chepstow line is deteriorating rapidly, and should be visited sooner rather than later - so long as the steel gates at the station end are open!

Bolton: 319379 arrives at Bolton with a Manchester to Blackpool North service on 20th April 2019.

Horwich Parkway: Now cascaded TPE 350404 approaches Horwich Parkway on 20th April 2019 with a service to Manchester from the north.

Hadnock Halt: Just South of Hadnock Halt towards Monmouth, this part of the trackbed is private - the stile allows access to a footpath to the right, and the path visible must have been made by farm animals. Still a nice view.

Bolton: 390126 has just passed through Bolton whilst working from Birmingham to Lancaster on 20 April 2019. The covered aerial walkway above the train, link the railway station to the bus station in the background.

Moses Gate: Electric Multiple Units pass as they speed through Moses Gate station on 20 April 2019. On the left is a Northern 319446 heading towards Salford Crescent while on the right is a TPE 350404 on a diverted (due to engineering work) Manchester Airport to Lancaster service.

Monmouth Troy: The description 'picture postcard view' hardly does justice to this wonderful view of the viaduct on the Monmouth to Ross line, seen from the corresponding structure on the Chepstow line in April 2019. I know at least one photographer who would have trimmed the trees in the foreground before taking this shot.

Moses Gate: A pair of Voyagers pass Moses Gate, south of Bolton, whilst working from Lancaster to Birmingham International on 20 April 2019 during WCML engineering closures.

Breich: The new station at Breich looking east on 20th April 2019. It now has platform validators and electronic information displays.

Moy: A nice sunny day at Moy as Pathfinder Tours 'Easter Highlander' makes its way from Aviemore to Kyle of Lochalsh on 20th April 2019. The train was double headed by 37409 'Lord Hinton' and 37402 'Stephen Middlemore 23.12.1954 - 8.6.2013'.

Usk: The goods shed at Usk was at a lower level than the station, and on the far (Pontypool) side of the River Usk. It was used as a garage; but as the garage now has new buildings, the future of the shed is uncertain.

Bolton: A TPE Class 350 on the sharp curve approaching Platform 3 at Bolton on 20th April 2019 with a service to Manchester Airport. Curving to the right is the line to Blackburn and in the background is Bolton bus station with the covered walkway between the stations. These EMUs have since moved south with the arrival of the new Class 397s.

Woodmuir Siding: Woodmuir Road, Breich. At one time crossed by the Caledonian Railway's Woodmuir branch and as can be seen, the track is still in situ at the level crossing. (The crossing was the limit of Caley ownership.) Looking west, the branch extended to serve quarries with a double reversal to reach what appears from the OS to have been the original Woodmuir Colliery (later known as Rashiehill Colliery). The later mine, some of whose buildings still survive, was on the east side nearer Woodmuir Junction. Track beyond this level crossing was gone by 1905 according to the OS although still connected on the east side perhaps retained as headshunt for the newer Woodmuir Colliery until it closed in 1963.

Hunterston Low Level Sidings: Flask train ascending from Hunterston Low Level. 68005 'Defiant' leading with 88002 'Prometheus' behind on 20th April 2021.

Thornton North Junction: The Leven branch has been de-vegetated at Thornton North Junction. Seen from the main line on the 20th of April 2021.

Hilton House: Hilton House (Halt) was on the Blackrod to Hindley line and closed in 1954 although trains passed through for a further fourteen years. The station site is now occupied by a landscape merchants, as seen here from across the A6 road which the line once passed underneath. There was previously a triangle of lines here serving nearby Scot Lane Collieries. Behind the camera a hotel complex covers the trackbed but beyond that a curving embankment is still in place running down to Blackrod.

Dicconson Lane and Aspull Halt: Dicconson Lane & Aspull was one of two halts on the short line from Blackrod and Horwich down to Wigan, via Crow Nest Junction. This also provided a by-pass of Bolton for through trains to Manchester via another line from just south of this point, which went under the Westhoughton line before joining the Atherton and Walkden line. See image [[76558]]. Dicconson Lane closed in 1954 but a dwindling number of trains continued to pass through until 1968. There were two platforms and the bricks, seen here near the top of the embankment in April 2021, are probably the last remains of the southbound platform building.

Rannoch: 156493 waits for clearance to leave Rannoch on 20th April 2022, with a service to Fort William that will continue to Mallaig. This was a particularly fine week of weather, even in the hills.

Rannoch: 156476 leaves Rannoch on the rear of a four-car Mallaig to Glasgow service on 20th April 2022. This view from the footpath from Glen Coe that ends by the station car park, as does the B846 road from the east.

Rannoch: The footbridge leading to the little shelter on the car park is a distinctive feature of Rannoch station. A Mallaig bound train arrives at the island platform on 20th April 2022.

Rannoch Viaduct: A four-car Sprinter crosses Rannoch Viaduct as it nears the station with the 1010hrs, Mallaig to Glasgow service on 20th April 2022.

Wood Green: Interior of Wood Green ticket hall, Piccadilly Line, on 20th April 2022, during a lull in passenger flows. This Charles Holden designed station will celebrate its 90th Anniversary on 19th September 2022, opening with the first stage of the London Electric Railways Cockfosters extension from Finsbury Park as far as Arnos Grove in 1932. That became known as the Piccadilly Line in 1937 under a general renaming of lines by the LPTB.

Rannoch: 156450 on the rear of a 4-car Sprinter leaving sunny Rannoch for Fort William and Mallaig on 20th April 2022.
