Duke Street Bridge: An unexpected but fortunate hold up while passing through Birkenhead Docks in November 2025. Duke Street Bridge is a bascule lift bridge over the narrow channel between 'East Float' dock and 'West Float'. Here it is fully opened as a bulk carrier (right) passes from West Float to East Float heading for the sea lock.

Tenby: Station sign at Tenby, in Welsh and English with the Welsh spelling (somewhat longer) given precedence, on Sunday, 20th July 2025.

Lincoln: 69014 'EMD Longport', which sports a gold livery under that grime, heads 3J42, the 1108 Barnetby to Peterborough RHTT service into Lincoln Central on 2nd December 2025. 66798 is on the rear and will then lead from Lincoln as it heads towards Sleaford. Not many days left now for this service as the leaves are all off the trees.

Higher Buxton: Trailing 2400 tonnes of limestone aggregate cautiously down the 1 in 62 gradient from Hindlow, 70010 passes the site of Higher Buxton station which closed in 1951. The station was quite a simple affair with wooden platforms and, despite appearances, the building to the left was not associated with the railway. A goods yard was situated to the right of the line in an area now occupied by a housing development. Residents of one of the houses overlooking the line have commendably acknowledged the historic presence of the station through the installation of a replica totem sign on the gable end of their garage.

Welwyn Garden City: 47121 heads through Welwyn Garden City, with a Newcastle to Kings Cross relief formed of Mk1 stock, on Christmas Eve 1980.

Carlisle: Northern 156486 forming the 15:12 2C32, departing Carlisle for Whitehaven on 22nd November 2025.

Aberfoyle: When Aberfoyle station was open this would have been a view from platform looking directly north at the station building, beyond which was the station forecourt. Nothing has survived of the station. However, the red sandstone building (known as Station Buildings) was built using material (as was Craiguchty Terrace) brought to Aberfoyle during testing of the railway over Flanders Moss in the very early days of the line. The station opened in 1882 and the engineer of the railway, Charles Forman, went on to build the Trossachs New Road in 1885 (now known as the Duke's Pass) which allowed coaches from Aberfoyle station to reach the Trossachs and Loch Katrine. The road also served the slate quarries.

Gilfach Fargoed: A busy few minutes at Gilfach Fargoed in August 2005. The station was opened in 1908 as a halt with platforms which are approximately 16m in length and in this shot 37405 is departing with a Cardiff - Rhymney working as 142069 arrives from Bargoed with a train for Cardiff.
