Weston (Bath): Weston, one stop out of Green Park on the Midland Railway - but after visiting Bath for 16 years, I'd never heard of this station. It is now in non-railway use, but its origins are unmistakeable. The Bristol to Bath railway path does not pass behind it, sadly.

Junction Road: The site of Junction Road station, on what is now the London Overground Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside line, looking east from a passing LT 'New Routemaster' type bus on route 390 to Archway, at 15.12 on Saturday, 9th August 2025. This closed as a wartime economy on 3rd May 1943 but never reopened after 1945. Several years ago there was a proposal to rebuild this station with a subterranean pedestrian connection to the nearby LU Northern Line station at Tufnell Park but, as is obvious, this did not materialise.

Claydon LNE Junction: Claydon LNE Junction is sited just beyond the signal and where the line from Oxford changes from single to double track although in 2004 it was a run round loop only. The train in the shot is 4V60, the empty binliner containers from Calvert to Bath and Bristol and it has used the connection which faces east. The locomotive is running round to set off on the return journey via Oxford.

Hayes and Harlington: Our train from Heathrow on 21st August 2025 was my first ride on the Elizabeth line; this 700 class to Reading was my second. We had rather too much luggage, but a cunning member of the platform staff lined us up with a ramp used by a PRM to leave the train. We used the ramp to wheel our cases onto the train. Excellent customer service, Fred.

South Alloa: South Alloa Pier looking over to Alloa with some blurring for privacy. The branch terminated to the right of the pier. In the foreground lines served one of the wharves. South Alloa station closed in 1885 on the opening of the Alloa Bridge route to Alloa. The line from Dunmore Junction remained open until 1950. The ferry ceased to operate to Alloa in 1936, on the opening of the Kincardine Bridge.
