Gallions Reach: View from DLR unit No.85, Tower Gateway to Beckton, arriving at its penultimate stop, Gallions Reach, on 17th October 2025. Between Custom House and Beckton, the DLR takes a more circuitous course to the original 1873 branch, which closed to passengers in 1940 but survived for freight until the late 1960s. This ran north-easterly and then easterly to its Beckton terminus, approached from the west. After travelling due east all the way from Tower Gateway to Royal Albert, the DLR turns north through Gallions Reach and then west to Beckton, thus all westbound DLR trains leave there facing east.

Woodley Junction: View looking to Woodley Junction from above Whitegates Park, Lenzie. The footpath running up from the bottom centre is the former connection between the Monkland and Kirkintilloch (running from top left to middle right in this view) to the Edinburgh and Glasgow's Campsie branch (off to the left and behind the camera), now 'Initiative Road'. The connecting line was sometimes known as the 'Middlemuir Branch Junction'. It opened in 1848 and closed in 1966.

Otley: Otley was served by a six mile line that connected a triangular junction at Burley, on the Ilkley line, with another one at Arthington on the Leeds to Harrogate line. The line closed in 1965 and the A660 by-passes the town through the station site. This modern footbridge leads off Station Road, at the same point where an older structure crossed the line and station. This view looks eastwards in October 2025, but there is no trace of the railway or any part of the two platform station and goods yard.

Riddings Junction: Riddings Junction station closed with the Langholm branch in 1964, and to goods traffic in 1966. After that date platform edges were removed and the site of the island platform was where the contributor is standing in this shot from 1969. The main point of interest is on the left which is where BR held their 'ceremonial' track lifting in front of an invited audience from the press on the afternoon of 6th January 1969 to separate the LM and Sc Regions which took place only hours after the last train over the line had passed.

Mye Siding: This was the original level crossing gate at Mye Siding, seen in 1999 in a view looking east. There was a crossing keeper's cottage to the left and the siding itself was beyond it.
