Hawick [2nd]: D49 4-4-0 no 62719 Peebles-Shire stands at Hawick in November 1957 awaiting its departure time with the 1220 Hawick - Edinburgh Waverley.

Derby Works: Ex-LMS Co-Co Diesel no 10000 stored at Derby Works on 1 November 1964.

Derby Works: 1Co-Co1 Diesel no 10202 stored at Derby Works in November 1964. Although the locomotive appeared after nationalisation it was a Southern Railway design and the influence of Mr Bulleid can be clearly seen.

Eastfield Shed: B1 61029 'Chamois' at Eastfield, on 1st November 1966. An unremarkable shot, but one that I'm nevertheless quite sentimental about, as it turned out to be the last occasion (in BR days) on which I saw a locomotive in steam at the depot. Not only that but, unusually for the time, the nameplates were still in place. 61029 had been a pretty frequent sight around Central Scotland in the fifties and sixties, and I first saw it when I was about ten years old. Evidently I pontificated to my brother that it was called 'Shamoys', a pronunciation that I was never subsequently allowed to forget!

Buchanan Street Tunnel: During the final week of services from Glasgow's Buchanan St station, the 11.35 to Thornton emerges from the Buchanan St tunnel behind B1 61347.

Buchanan Street Tunnel East Signal Box: Most of Glasgow’s Sighthill was a building site in 1966, and a wet overcast morning was not doing anything to enhance the view of B1 61347 as it made its way towards St Rollox, after emerging from the Buchanan Street tunnel. But, it was the final week before Buchanan Street’s closure so photography had to be undertaken no matter what. The train was the 11.35 to Thornton on 1st November 1966.

Saltley: Sulzer Type 2 (class 25) no D7512 on Saltley Shed in November 1969. Sister locomotive no D7604 is attached to one of the short lived brake tenders, designed for use when working non or partially fitted freights.

Leicester Midland MPD: BRCW Type 2 no D5377 on the turntable in the then still relatively new roundhouse at Leicester Midland shed on Saturday 1st November 1969. This locomotive ended its working life as 27030 based at Glasgow's Eastfield shed, from which it was eventually withdrawn in April 1986. Ironically its final resting place was back in Leicester, not far from this location, at Vic Berry's scrapyard, where it was cut up in October 1987.

Birmingham New Street: The 10.27 Manchester Piccadilly - London Euston stands in the concrete cavern that is Birmingham New Street station on 1 November 1969. Class 85 AC electric locomotive no E3090 is in charge.

Saltley: Class 31 no D5852 standing immediately behind D7512 in the shed yard at Saltley in November 1969. 8V66 was the code for the 0320 Normanby Park - Cardiff Tidal Sidings (albeit a few years later than the date of this photograph), so 5852 being an Immingham loco at the time, would fit with such a working.

Leicester Midland MPD: G2 0-8-0 no 49448 stored in the roundhouse at Leicester Midland shed on 1 November 1969 with class O4 no 63601 standing in the background. Note this is actually the preserved 49395 masquerading as 49448 on this occasion. With thanks to Vic Smith.

Waterside: Looking back from the cab of Barclay No.17 (1833/1913) towards Waterside loops as it propels a train of side-tipping hoppers towards the tip at the former Minnivey Mine on 1st November 1977.

The RCTS railtour is returning from a visit to Leiston, and one of the crew is approaching to operate the gates. The train will soon reach the junction with the main line. Following closure to passengers in 1966, the line was retained to just beyond Leiston for Sizewell nuclear flask traffic. [Ref query 9825]

Plates, signs, notices etc: Wagon plate in sidings at Yoker bearing the legend - Central Wgn - 1958 - B592898 - Lot No 2042, on steel bodied mineral wagon.

Glyndyfrdwy: Ex BR Standard 4 2-6-0 76079 stands at the partially completed new Glyndyfrdwy Station in November 1992 during a Thomas event. This was at the time the limit of operations from Llangollen, although the station itself did not open until the following year. 76079, along with Black 5 44806, later moved to the North Yorks Moors Railway from Llangollen. see image [[49644]]. The Standard 4 completed a 10 year overhaul in 2014, and, as of April 2020, the Black 5 is about to have a start made on its own 10 year overhaul; after being sold earlier this year, by the NYMR, to the owner of USAC S160 No 2253 Omaha.

Wensley: 'SHUT THAT DOOR... ' Breakfast disturbance at Wensley station in November 2004 as a DMU on the Wensleydale Railway passes through with a Leeming - Redmire service. The old station closed to passenger traffic in April 1954 and had since been converted to serve as self-catering holiday accommodation. Note the 'Waiting Rooms' (plural) above the door, referring to the public area from which the photograph was taken, together with a second private waiting area off to the left, once reserved for use by family and associates of local landowner Lord Bolton (now used as the main bedroom).

Dent: A Leeds - Carlisle train arrives at Dent in November 2004, with station platforms and buildings looking immaculate.

Garsdale: A southbound EWS coal train runs through Garsdale on the Settle & Carlisle line in November 2004. On the right is the old platform once used by trains on the NER Wensleydale route to Northallerton via Hawes. The route may one day see trains running again, given the long term objectives of the Wensleydale Railway Association.

Garsdale: The signal box on the down platform at Garsdale in the autumn of 2004.

Ribblehead: The last post... Ribblehead, November 2004.

Kay Park Junction: 66205 (TO) at Kay Park Junction south of Kilmarnock with a loaded MGR from Knockshinnoch-Falkland Yard.

Dent: Northern 156498 restarts from Dent on 1 November 2004, while operating a Leeds - Carlisle service. The station has changed little over the years - which is more than can be said for the snow fence.

Ribblehead: Ribblehead station, November 2004.

Ribblehead: A Carlisle - Leeds DMU begins to slow as it comes off Ribblehead Viaduct on 1 November 2004, prior to making a stop at Ribblehead station.

Hawes: The joint NER/MR Hawes station in November 2004. The building now houses the Dales Countryside Musem, complete with a short length of track and static display of a locomotive and 3 coaches alongside the westbound platform. The locomotive purporting to be G5 0-4-4T 67345 is in fact No 12, (RSH 7845/1955) an 0-6-0T that worked at the CEGB Hams Hall Power Station until about 1970. The real 67345 was cut up at Darlington at the end of 1955.

Penallt Viaduct: The WVR was carried across the River Wye between Wales and England on Penallt Viaduct, running between Penallt Halt on the Monmouthshire bank (left) and Redbrook station on the Gloucestershire side. These were two of the closest stations on the network being only a quarter of a mile apart - albeit located in different countries. The old viaduct, seen here in November 2005, is now in use as a public path.

Magaliesburg: The signal box at Magaliesburg is located on the platform, allowing this view of the lever frame. Magaliesburg is a rael life version of Radiator Springs in the film Cars - it is bypassed by the main highway, and hence has become a 'living museum'. For acontrast in style, see image [[55261]].

Dulnain Viaduct [Carrbridge]: Autumn at Carrbridge viaduct, November 2005, looking south towards the station.

Carrbridge: The road approach to Carrbridge station in 2005.

Markinch: New disabled and child car parking to the west of station building.

Markinch: Renovated station and interchange up and running. The final job was to remove the old footbridge, which was tickled on to the Leven Road Bridge. Much evidence can be seen. The marks of the stairs can be seen on the right hand platform.

Markinch: Mixed signals. For a fraction of a second a single yellow and a red were lit simultaniously. This train has terminated at Markinch and is running forward to access the crossover, it will return on the right (up line) track, stop to pick up passengers then head to our capital city, Edinburgh. 158731

Markinch: The road into the former goods shed where 60009 was once stored stands empty at Markinch in November 2007, as a late afternoon service for Edinburgh heads south.

Grange-over-Sands: View east at Grange-over-Sands, from the adjacent public park, as a Trans Pennine service formed by 185107 calls on the way to Manchester Airport. The station was refurbished in 1997 and is still in excellent condition and in a wonderful location.

Euxton Junction: 150138 snakes its way across the WCML at Euxton Junction with a service from Manchester to Blackpool North on 1 November 2008. The unit is seen crossing from the Down Fast to the Up Slow and is about to cross to the Down Slow before accelerating to its next stop at Leyland.

IBM: A Big Blue sign on the Inverclyde line on 1 November 2008. The station was originally opened as IBM Halt on 9 May 1978 for use by those employed at the IBM manufacturing plant in Spango Valley, Greenock. Nowadays the site is shared with other companies and IBM is no longer directly involved in manufacturing. Current IBM activities here include the provision of 24 hour multilingual worldwide customer contact/support services and related e-business. While the station now appears in public timetables it is still intended for use by those working within the compound.

Hincaster Junction: Horse Creep? As boats were legged through the Hincaster canal tunnel the horses had to cross the railway and go over the hill on a path that is still open. This low bridge takes the path under the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway/WCML although the floor has built up and it would be tricky to get a large animal through these days. Map Reference SD 513851

Whinhill: A Wemyss Bay - Glasgow Central service calls at Whinhill on 1 November formed by unit 334 015.

Featherstone Park: A sunny afternoon at Featherstone Park in November 2010. View is south towards Alston. The station closed along with the branch in 1976 and this section became a popular walkway/cycleway see image [[31453]]. [Ref query 4 February 2019]

Elrington: The old station at Elrington, Northumberland, photographed looking north across a field in November 2010. Located some four and a half miles west of Hexham, Elrington had the dubious distinction of being the least used statiion (cattle excluded) on the rural Allendale branch. For the view from the bridge on the left see image [[31466]]. [Ref query 12 March 2019]

Hexham: Autumn colours abound at Hexham on 1 November 2010 as the 1000 Stranraer - Newcastle prepares to leave the eastbound platform.

Featherstone Park: View north east over the site of the level crossing at Featherstone Park on the Alston branch on 1 November 2010. The branch was closed completely in 1976, with the result that the old platform and station house now stand alongside a footpath and cycleway - and a signpost that states Haltwhistle 3 miles.

Elrington: Late afternoon scene at Elrington, Northumberland, in November 2010. View east along the trackbed towards Hexham over the old station on the former Allendale branch, with its fenced off platform and much modified station house.

Upper Tyndrum: It's a stiff hike to Upper Tyndrum (sometime Tyndrum Upper) so you want to make sure you've got the right station before you start. Tyndrum is surely the smallest settlement in Britain to have two stations.

Tyndrum Lower: An Oban service calls at Tyndrum Lower on 1st November 2017. It's running late because of a delayed Up service and will in turn delay the next Up train here, then the one it joins at Crianlarich. Single lines, eh? Departure screens are being installed on the WHL, hence the ugly barriers.

Edinburgh Waverley: Platform 12: the continuing 'story'. A look east from Platform 11 on 1 November showing the ironwork of the south ramp exposed, and the track already advancing eastwards.
