Derby Works: DBC's appropriately numbered 66200, on display during The Greatest Gathering Rail 200 event at Derby Litchurch Lane, at 11.05 on Saturday, 2nd August 2025.
Lincoln Central: Low bright sun highlights 66021, passing Lincoln with the 4L45 Wakefield to Felixstowe service on 2nd December 2025. An 'on track' machine is also on the move while an East Midlands Class 170 unit sits in the bay.
Swimbridge: A view from a Taunton to Barnstaple DMU of Swimbridge station on 29th September 1966, two day before all services ceased and the line closed.
Camperdown Junction: Azuma 800109 descends into the gloom of Dock Street Tunnel, with the 13.47 from Aberdeen to Kings Cross, on 30th November 2025.
South Gyle: This bridge on Ladywell Avenue at South Gyle is being lined up for demolition at the end of 2025, to allow for installation of the OLE. It might just be removed with no replacement due to the close proximity of the B701 Meadow Place Road.
Mirfield: Work continues on the rebuild of Mirfield and this accessible footbridge has been constructed, linking the platforms with each other and the road below the station, although it is not yet open to passengers. Behind the island platform to the right a fourth line has been laid although it is not yet connected to the current running lines. This December 2025 view looks towards Heaton Lodge Junction.
Bath Green Park [2nd]: Bath Green Park basks in the setting sun on 1st November 2025. I was taking a much needed break from teaching GCSE Mathematics.
Muchalls Viaduct: Embankment works by McPherson Bridge, just south of the Muchalls Viaduct, in December 2025.
Glasgow Central: Opinions will no doubt differ as to the respective merits of the various liveries that have been carried by Glasgow’s suburban units over the years, and I remember it taking a while to get used to the 334 livery shown in this shot from the summer of 2003. 334014 sits side by side with 318251 at Glasgow Central.
Twyford: Freightliner 59205 eastbound from Westbury Tarmac to Hanwell Loop Bridge, passing Twyford on 5th November 2025. Rep. No. 6A50
Incline Foot [Craigmore]: This is the embankment of the Aberfoyle Slate Quarries Tramway just above the incline foot showing a lovely flat trackbed making its way over very rough uneven ground. This incline was a double track self-acting incline. It was over 2,100 ft long, at a gradient of about one in three, and dropped over 600 ft. There was a continuous steel wire rope on which 'trains' of six wagons carrying 500 slates of 17cwt descended and empty wagons (and the occasional 'passenger') climbed the incline. Movement of the rope could be stopped via a screw brake, stopping the wagons.
Rainford: 150120, Headbolt Lane to Blackburn, pauses at Rainford to handover the single line token. From 1858 this was a three-way junction. The old platform curving right was on the ELR line to Ormskirk, closed in 1956 and now built on. To the left a pedestrian footpath initially follows the LNWR line St. Helens line that closed in 1951. A direct chord for Ormskirk to St. Helens freight and excursions crossed the Wigan to Liverpool line on a now demolished bridge about 300 yards to the west of here.
