St Margarets [Twickenham]: St. Margarets station, eastward looking towards Waterloo, on Saturday, 20th December 2025. All stopping eastbound trains towards Waterloo normally stop on the outside of the island platform, the inner side is passed through non-stop by fast trains. This station will be celebrating its 150th anniversary on 2nd October 2026 although the line itself had been opened in 1848. It should not be confused with the station of the same name on the Broxbourne to Hertford East line which, until 1964, was the junction for the branch to Buntingford.

Clifton M6 Bridge: First trains run across new £60m bridge as West Coast Main Line reopens. Passengers are being thanked for their patience as the West Coast Main Line fully reopened on 15th January, with the completion of multiple journey improving projects carried out since the start of 2026.

Balgray: A new £18.3m station at Balgray, south Barrhead, in East Renfrewshire is a step closer to opening after engineers successfully installed its footbridge and lifts in early January 2026. 

Crosby Garrett: Avanti West Coast Everos 805001 and 805004 pass the site of the former Crosby Garrett station, between Kirkby Stephen and Appleby, working the 1Z87 1127 Carlisle to Preston WCML diversion on Saturday 10th January 2026.

Walsden: Climbing through Walsden towards Summit Tunnel, 66786 hauls its train of empty hoppers from Drax Power Station to Liverpool Biomass Terminal on 30th December 2025.

Crewe Works: Aspinall 1891 L&YR Class 23 rebuild 0-6-0ST 51412 is seen stabled near the entrance of Crewe Works in June 1962 whilst in Departmental use as a works shunter. The Class 23 locos were initially introduced in 1877 to a Barton Wright design.

Shaw Crossing: This location is about midway between Murrayshall siding and Gargunnock station. The nearer fence (north side of the line) had been replaced and has concrete and metal fenceposts alternately. The further away (south side) fence was not replaced and was more typical with wooden posts. This part of the line closed in 1959.

Barrhead: 156494 and 156452 await departure from the bay platform at Barrhead in March 2022 with the 15.28 to Glasgow Central. As far as I am aware, the signal box was demolished at some stage during the electrification project.
