Carlisle: A4 Pacific no 60019 Bittern stands at Carlisle on 12 November 1966 with The Waverley, a special organised by the RCTS. The train, which started from York, had arrived here via Newcastle and Hexham and, after completing its journey over the Waverley route, returned home via the ECML.

Hawick [2nd]: 60019 Bittern with the RCTS Waverley special leaving Hawick on 12 November 1966.

Carlisle: A mixture of mist, rain and steam conspires to obliterate A4 Pacific no 60019 Bittern as it runs into the south end of Carlisle station on 12 November 1966 with The Waverley. This particular version of the famous train is a special from York organised by the RCTS. It has arrived via the Newcastle and Carlisle line and will be continuing its journey to Edinburgh via Hawick see image [[25301]] before returning to York via the east coast main line.

Glasgow Queen Street High Level: Platform scene at Glasgow Queen Street in November 1970.

Cornton Level Crossing: The infamous half barrier Cornton level crossing in Stirling on 12 November 2006, with a Dunblane - Edinburgh service passing through. Hard to believe the number of people who ignore the warnings at such locations.

Kincardine: While the rest of the S-A-K line is looking grand, Kincardines old station is looking a little past it.

Kincardine: The re-laid eastern section of the line is now connected to the system.

Kincardine: To the left is the relaid mainline and to the right the new connection for the former Kincardine Powerstation yard.

Kincardine: Line into Kincardine powerstation yard. The yard is currently used as a base of assembling track panels. The yard has a new run-round loop at the request of Scottish Power to replace the one removed on the mainline.

Clackmannan and Kennet: Brucefield, Clackmannan looking east to Kincardine.

Clackmannan and Kennet: Brucefield, Clackmannan looking west to Alloa. Trackwork still has that newly laid slightly shoogly look.

Clackmannan and Kennet: Looking west to Alloa.

Clackmannan and Kennet: Looking east to Kincardine.

Kincardine Junction: The tower on the hill above Clackmannan has seen many waggonways and railways come and go. Today it gets to see the extent of the track of the reinstated S-A-K line. This stops here while a new bridge over the A907 is built.

Kincardine Junction: Looking west on the trackbed of the closed Stirling and Dunfermline Railway. The trackbed of the re-opening line to Kincardine is to the left and the line will continue along the S&DR route to pass under the new distant bridge.

Alloa [1st]: Site of the old junction for Kinross. Still pretty soggy.

Alloa [1st]: Site of the old station. A swimming pool. And leisure complex.

Alloa [1st]: Site of the old station looking east.

Alloa Harbour Junction: This was the junction for the harbour looking west. The harbour line was to the left but the line being re-opened is straight ahead.

Alloa West Junction: Looking west to Alloa West level crossing.

Alloa West Junction: Looking west to Alloa West level crossing. Sorting the drainage before putting down the ballast.

Alloa West Junction: An almost unrecognisable Alloa West LC looking to the river. Mud, nothing quite like it.

Alloa West Junction: Looking west from the crossing. The signalbox was to the left of this once double track mainline.

Alloa Marshalling Yard: Looking west to the new Cambus passing loop. This is to the east of the previous passing loop at the old station. The marshalling yard was to the left.

Cambus: Looking east at the new Cambus loop. Entry to the marshalling yard was to the right.

Cambus Loop: Looking east at the new Cambus loop with Alloa as the backdrop. This is the extent of the tracklaying east from Stirling.

Cambus: Site of Cambus station looking west. The bridge over the Devon is in the distance. There is a curious bend in the line here on what was a straight railway.

Blackgrange: Blackgrange looking west. Trackworkers looking for mushrooms?

Manor Powis: Currently unprotected crossing at Manor Powis. The station and later just the passing loop were to the east (left). The road provided access to the coalmine the bing of which later became a quarry.

Manor Powis: Looking west from the LC.

Manor Powis: Looking east from the LC. Another shoogly line.

Causewayhead: Looking east at the former Causewayhead station. Wallace Monument peeks down at the railway works.

Stirling Forth Viaduct [SandD]: Now did we pick green for this bridge for a reason? View looks north.

Stirling Forth Viaduct [SandD]: Double track neatly laid across the viaduct. This is a slight extension of the latterly available facilities, in the 1980s the line singled to the south of the viaduct.

Stirling North Junction: A sempahore controls access to the line north of Stirling (distant to right of new track).

Stirling North Junction: Buffers still prevent trains gaining access to the Alloa line for the moment. Dunblane trains heads north from Stirling.

Stirling: I knew these bays would come in useful ... stock not in use on a Sunday lazes at Stirlings north end. To the left are the tracks of the route to Alloa just waiting for the new service; passenger trains to Alloa and coal for Longannet.

Inverkeithing: 170457 calls with the 1225 outer circle train at Inverkeithing

Cowdenbeath: West end of Cowdenbeath.

Dalgety Bay: Large empty car park at Dalgety Bay. View north. Where are the trains, and customers? Sunday morning long lie.

Thorneyburn: View north west over the former level crossing towards the old station house at Thorneyburn in November 2007. The station, on the Border Counties line between Kielder (left) and Bellingham, opened in 1861 and closed in 1956.

Thorneyburn: Approaching the level crossing at Thorneyburn station, between Kielder and Bellingham on the Border Counties Railway in November 2007. View is north with the platform remains off to the right. The former station house on the other side of the crossing is now a private residence. See image [[17646]]

Inverkeithing: 1215 to Kings Cross arriving 15mins. late, at Inverkeithing.

Drumfrochar: 334 023 calls at Drumfrochar on 12 November with a Wemyss Bay - Glasgow Central service. Located in the southwest suburbs of Greenock this station was opened in May 1998.

James Watt Dock: While the tracks on the Bogston - James Watt Dock branch have gone the bridge over the busy A8 continues to earn its keep. View west towards Gourock on 12 November 2008.

Stevenston: The rather featureless station at Stevenston welcomes 334 027 with a service from Glasgow Central bound for Largs on 12 November 2008.

Prestwick International Airport: Opened in September 1994 as Prestwick International Airport the station nameboards nowadays show Glasgow Prestwick Airport, although no reference to an official change of name can be traced (so far) through the usual sources. This is coincidentally the only Scottish station operated by a local authority (South Ayrshire). Photographed on 12 November 2008. [Editors note: the distance between the Airport and Glasgow City Centre is 27 miles]

Princes Street [Tram]: A new tram information board, plus a castle and a man in a tree. Looking south across Princes Street, Edinburgh, on 12 November 2008.

Hest Bank: So that's why they call it the West Coast Main Line. 66510 and a long train of coal empties skirt Morecambe Bay while heading north at Hest Bank. The line trailing in behind the locomotive is the link from Bare Lane, now used by nuclear trains from Heysham Power Station and (from 2009) two passenger services each weekday.

Stevenston: A failure of the barrier system at Stevenston results in 318 269 being flagged over the crossing against a danger signal on 12 November with a service for Ardrossan Town.

Renfrew Braehead: Old map of Renfrew/Braehead/Deanside - Glasgow & Renfrew District Railway Caledonian/Glasgow & South-Western Joint. Note Renfrew Airport now relocated to Paisley as Glasgow International Airport.

Woodacre Crossing: Heading for Glasgow 6201 Princess Elizabeth was ten minutes early passing Woodacre with the The Coronation Scot on 12 November 2011. The tour started at Tyseley and was steam hauled from Crewe over Shap and Beattock with Brush Type 4 D1755 on the rear for insurance. The train retraced its outward route the following day see image [[36396]].

Blunsdon: A scrapyard!!! The rusting hulk is Hunslet 50550 Class 0-6-0ST, 2411 of 1941, precursor to the J94's. For all its poor looks the locomotive is in good condition, the chassis and boiler are in good order with all fittings present. It just needs a touch of paint!

Alloa Bridge: View south through the surviving piers of Alloa swing bridge on 12 November 2011.

Alva: Approach to the former Alva station (closed to passengers 1954) in November 2011.

Menstrie and Glenochil: Remains of the loading bank at Menstrie on 12 November 2011 see image [[15262]].

Manors: A northbound East Coast 225 passes the spartan facilities at Manors, shortly after leaving Newcastle Central on 12 November. On the right is a fragment of the old North Tyneside platform. See image [[18934]]

Woodacre Crossing: Tyseley based, green liveried, Brush Type 4 D1755 (47773) brings up the rear of The Coronation Scot, hauled by LMS Pacific 6201 Princess Elizabeth at Woodacre on 12 November see image [[36384]]. The train was heading for Glasgow via Shap and Beattock.

Alloa Bridge: The surviving piers of Alloa swing bridge are reflected in the still waters of the Forth on an autumn afternoon. View south across the river towards Throsk on 12 November.

Alloa Bridge: The substantial northern abutment of the former Alloa swing bridge stands alongside the Forth on 12 November 2011.... and will doubtless continue to do so for many a year.

Devon Viaduct [Tullibody]: Former rail bridge across the River Devon south of Menstrie on the Alva branch, seen here looking north on 12 November 2011 with the Ochil Hills forming the backdrop. [With thanks to Messrs McRae, Prescott, Smith, Byers & Robin]

Symington [2nd]: Looking west towards Symington along the trackbed of the SB&B in November 2011, with the A72 running in parallel on the left of the picture. After passing below the bridge in the distance the line turned north towards the station and the WCML.

Menstrie and Glenochil: Looking through the fence at the Daigeo plant at Menstrie on 12 November 2011. The rails now end in the foreground, although a stranded set of buffer stops remains in the middle distance see image [[8393]].

Blunsdon: Preserved 'Thumper' DEMU no 1302 approaching Blunsdon Station on the Swindon and Cricklade Railway on 12 November 2011.

Alloa Bridge: View south across the Forth towards Throsk at dusk on 12 November 2011 with the piers of the old swing bridge reflected in the still waters.

Manors: A Northern DMU on a Morpeth - Metro Centre stopping service, formed by 156443, runs into Manors station on 12 November 2011.

West Maitland Street: Looking along the West Maitland Street tram works on 12 November towards Haymarket Station.

St Andrew Square [Tram]: A road-rail vehicle in St Andrew Square on 12 November 2012.

York Place [Tram]: Looking west along York Place, the site of the planned tram terminus, on 12 November 2012, with track foundations being prepared. The line will take a sharp left turn just before the National Portrait Gallery and head up North St Andrew Street to reach St Andrew Square see image [[40969]].

Haymarket [Tram]: Installing a tram crossover at Haymarket Yards on 12 November. Looking west with the E & G main line running behind the shrubbery on the left.

Wakefield Kirkgate: The new canopy structure in place along the operational section of platform 1 at Wakefield Kirkgate on 12 November, although still to be glazed over approximately 50% of its length. See image [[38886]]

Wakefield Kirkgate: A modicum of progress on the island platform at Wakefield Kirkgate see image [[40104]] on 12 November 2012, with new lighting and display screens installed. Subway ramp, roof and window glazing are still to be completed.

Brundall Junction: A misty morning at Brundall Junction in 2012.

Hardengreen Viaduct: Work in progress at Hardengreen Roundabout. View north along the A7 approach on 12 November 2013.

Pleasington: Harrington Humps are normally installed to access the front door of trains but there is limited clearance on the Down platform at Pleasington and the hump has been set up for rear doors, leading to a trio of 2 Car stop signs for drivers of the 142, 150 and 156 units used on local services. 158793 passes through the Up Platform, which has been raised along most of its length, on a York-Blackpool working.

Kilmarnock: GBRf class 47 carrying the number D1916 (aka 47812) in two tone green livery passing through Kilmarnock on 12 November working 4Z47 new wagons from Barclay works to Doncaster down decoy (GBRf) sidings.

Kilmarnock: D1916 in two tone green livery passing through Kilmarnock station on 12 November 2014. The GBRf class 47 was taking new wagons from Barclay works to Doncaster.

Anniesland: The new facing crossover at Anniesland, as seen from the station on 12th November 2015. Three points have been installed reinstating Knightswood South Junction that allows trains to and from Hyndland to use the Maryhill line.

Anniesland: The reinstated Knightswood South Junction at Anniesland, seen from the end of the bay platform in November 2015. The line on the right was effectively a siding from Maryhill before the new link to the Westerton to Hyndland tracks was constructed.

Thongs Bridge: View south east from the in-filled Springwood Road over-bridge, by the junction with Luke Lane and Miry Lane, at Thongsbridge showing building work taking place in a section of the deep cutting of the former Holmfirth branch in November 2015. Thongsbridge was the sole intermediate station and closed to passengers with the branch in 1959.

Clayton West: North Easterly view along the A636 Denby Dale to Wakefield road showing the over-bridge, on the former BR Clayton West branch from Shepley, which gave access to both the former terminus station a short distance to the right and the Clayton West Colliery adjacent. The Kirklees Light Railway now utilises the full length of the standard gauge branch trackbed for its narrow gauge services, with the semaphore signal on the bridge controlling access to its station located just short of the former BR station.

Littlehampton: 377114 to Bognor Regis at Littlehampton on 12th November 2016.

Dalmeny: The default screen of the ticket machine at Dalmeny on 12/11/2016. I'm wondering why Haymarket isn't listed as it's surely a more popular destination from here than, say, Burntisland. And why is it still Glasgow British Rail (?) when the tickets say 'Glasgow Stns'. Talking of Glasgow anyone paying £20.30 for a cheap day return is a mug. The only way to get there at off-peak times is by changing at Haymarket, so you'd just by two separate returns totalling £17.00!

Brighton: UK Railtours' 'Regency Javelin' excursion train, alongside 700111, at a rather wet Brighton station on Saturday, 12th November 2016.

Hastings: 171805, waiting to depart for Ashford International from Hastings, on 12th November 2016. This line, now operated under the banner name 'Marshlink', escaped closure by the skin of its teeth in 1967.

Shawfair: The Edinburgh and Midlothian Recycling and Energy Recovery Centre, under construction in the south west corner of Millerhill Yard, towers above the passing ScotRail 0911 Edinburgh - Tweedbank on 12 November 2017. The train is about to make its scheduled stop at Shawfair station, just off picture to the right.

Millerhill EGIP Depot: Part of the northern section of the new ScotRail EMU depot at Millerhill on 12 November 2017. View is east across the running lines, with tracklaying and main construction work looking almost complete. The stabling / cleaning roads are located off to the right see image [[61575]].

Shawfair: Scene at a quiet Shawfair station on Sunday 12 November 2017, with the 0845 from Tweedbank pausing on its journey to Edinburgh. In the background is the former mining village of Newton, most recently associated with Monktonhall Colliery which stood off to the left see image [[50741]]. This whole area lies within the boundary of Shawfair new town, with various housing and commercial developments underway in the surrounding area (note the new buildings in the right background beyond the rooftops of the village). Growth of the new town will doubtless be reflected in a steady increase in rail passengers.

Gorgie Cattle Market [NB]: A look along the course of the Gorgie Cattle Market branch from 'Sidings Way' (bit of a clue there) towards Gorgie Junction. The sidings fanned out behind me. For some reason this area took decades to be developed after the rails were lifted; the small retail park on the site of the cattle pens was not built until 2014/15. OS maps showed this branch as a 'Mineral Railway'; if I were a cow I'd be insulted.

Gorgie Cattle Market [NB]: Limited clearance? In fact this was not a railway bridge as such. The sidings buffers were the other side of the bridge and cattle would have been driven (in the original sense) over the setts - cobbles to you - under the bridge and into the market behind me. Surprisingly perhaps Gorgie market remained in operation in this urban location until 2002, though served only by lorries for many years.

Dalry Junction [Edinburgh]: The course of the CR main line out of Edinburgh, Looking north east on 12 November 2018. We are about a mile from Princes Street, a little beyond the junction for Leith. Dalry Road shed was off to the left. The West Approach Road comes to a rather abrupt end behind me. This is really the 'branch' now with most traffic using what was the connection with Haymarket West.

Ieper: The station frontage at Ieper (Ypres) on 12th November 2018. Slightly more functional architecture than the nearby Menin Gate war memorial where the Armistice Centenary commemoration had taken place the day before.

Addiewell: The hourly flurry of activity at Addiwell, seen on 12 November 2018 with an Edinburgh train on the right. The footbridge, installed earlier this year, has no lift but is 'lift-ready'. When electric services start it will surely mean the end of Class 156s in the east of Scotland.

Ieper: An Antwerp to Poperinge EMU service approaching Ieper (Ypres) station on 12th November 2018, the day after the Armistice Centenary commemoration ceremonies.

Ieper: The platform side of Ieper (Ypres) station on 12th November 2018.

Bay Horse: This TPE Test Train from Manchester to Carlisle was running almost two hours late as it passed Bay Horse on 12th November 2018 so there was just enough light to capture 68024 'Centaur' and its five new MkV coaches.

Bay Horse: A new TPE Driving Trailer brings up the rear of a Manchester to Carlisle test train as it passes Bay Horse on 12th November 2018. The fourth coach appeared to still have a protective cover over the bodyside and windows. Train loco was 68024 'Centaur'.

Gorgie East: For many years all that there has been to see of this former Suburban Circle station is the remnants of this path from the inner platform to Slateford Road. The 'East' suffix - with or without apologetic brackets – was added in BR days. It's not clear why as there was never any other passenger station called Gorgie and if anything it's south rather than east.

Morecambe Promenade: Twenty five years after Morecambe Promenade closed to passengers, this multi-agency flooding training event at The Platform offered an opportunity for a direct Then and Now comparison with See image [[71026]] taken just before closure.

Glasgow Queen Street High Level: View of demolition work in the former Queen Street Low Level vestibule on 12th November 2019. The entry to the stairwell to platform 9 is behind the hoarding and the OHLE terminal goalpost for the now extended platform 1 can just be seen beyond. The pile of rubble in the left foreground is where the queue for tickets formed until recently. (By kind permission of Network Rail)

Morecambe Promenade: This Platform fire escape used to be the entrance to the northerly island platform at Morecambe Promenade until closure in 1994 See image [[71060]]. It now looks out to the Festival Market that has been built on the old railway land. Just outside these doors several original platform canopy columns have been reused to support modern awnings.

Beauly: A Class 73 on the Far North Line. 73968 is being used by GBRf as a driver route learner from Inverness to Georgemas Junction, in preparation for engineering work. Pictured approaching Beauly on the return working on 12th November 2020.

Woodacre Crossing: Occasionally there seems to be a mismatch of Caledonian Sleeper traction and a daylight movement ensues. 92023 heads light engine from Polmadie to Wembley on 12th November 2020 passing Woodacre.

Hartington: View looking south west to the Hartington Viaduct, on the former Buxton to Ashbourne line, that now forms a part of the Hartington Trail. The former station site is along the signposted access point to the left, from the B5054 north of Hartington village,

Warrington Bank Quay: 66603 passes Warrington Bank Quay with the empty MWA box wagons from Hardendale to Tunstead (6H51) on 12 November 2022. Crusty old photographers like me generally make do with still shots but today's young enthusiasts are into their videos of the passing 21st century stock.

Manchester Victoria: CFPS 40145 arrives at Manchester Victoria on 12 November 2022. This was a Pathfinders railtour from Burton-on-Trent to Newcastle via Birmingham New St, Crewe and Warrington. The Class 40 replaced a pair of Class 37s at Crewe for the run over the Pennines via Marsden.

Chester: Two Northern units sit in the bay platforms on the north-east side of Chester station in November 2022. The Class 150 is waiting to return to Manchester Piccadilly via Knutsford and Stockport while the Class 195 will return to Leeds via Warrington Bank Quay, Manchester Victoria and the Calder Valley.

Chester: Transport for Wales inaugurated the Class 197 CAF DMUs on the Blaenau Ffestiniog branch on 14th November 2022 using 197004. They replace the single unit Class 153s and so should be a real improvement for passengers. Two days before the debut, 197011 and 153382 were together in the stabling sidings at Chester.

Chester: TfW 175110 sits in platform 1 (south-east end bay) at Chester. It had earlier arrived from Crewe and after a short turn around headed back the same way.

Diggle Junction: Pathfinder Railtours 1Z40 07:01 Burton-on-Trent to Newcastle headed by CFPS D345 (40145) seen approaching Diggle on the Standedge route on 12th November 2022.

Chester: A double AWC Voyager arrives at Chester off the Crewe line in November 2022.

Warrington Bank Quay: It is November and the 66s and 68s are out again on some of the DRS container services between Daventry and Mossend. On 12 November 2022, DRS 68017 and 68005 double head the 4S44 northbound service as it passes Warrington Bank Quay.

Canary Wharf [EL]: Exterior of Canary Wharf station, Elizabeth Line, opened on 24th May 2022 (three and a half years late), seen here nearly 6 months later on the evening of Saturday, 12th November 2022. Changing here for the Jubilee Line involves an up escalator, out into the street, a trek through the entire length of the Canada Place shopping mall and then back down another escalator. Nor on the Elizabeth Line platforms were there any directions to the DLR that I could see.

Chester: On the Colas operated North Wales RHTTcircuit from Coleham near Shrewsbury, 56094 leads with 56049 on the rear as the train passes Chester on the U&DML. At this point the train was heading east from Holyhead to Crewe on 12th November 2022.

Chester: TfW 150236 has arrived from Holyhead and is now coupled up to 153382, which was waiting in the west end bay platform on 12 November 2022. After a few minutes the units departed heading south, with the 150 leading, to Maesteg via Wrexham, Shrewsbury and Cardiff.

Ealing Broadway: LU 1992 stock at the Central Line west London terminus of Ealing Broadway, about to depart east all the way to Hainault via Newbury Park. on the afternoon of Saturday, 12th November 2022. Central London Railway trains from Wood Lane (replaced by White City in 1947) reached here over the GWR built tracks of the Ealing & Shepherd Bush Railway on 3rd August 1920, renamed Central Line by the LPTB in 1937.

Diggle Junction: Trans Pennine Express 802214 heads 9M22 10:07 Newcastle to Liverpool Lime Street at Diggle, having just emerged from Standedge tunnel, on 14th November 2022.

Chester: A Merseyrail Class 507 departs from Chester with a service to ...... Chester. The train will go under the River Mersey and run around the centre of Liverpool before returning under the Mersey again back to Chester.

Chester: At long last being replaced, a Merseyrail 'PEP' EMU arrives at Chester on 12 November 2022. A fifteen minute interval service to Birkenhead and Liverpool is maintained throughout the day.
