Long Meg Sidings: On an unrecorded date in 2000, during a weekend of diversions via the Settle & Carlisle, a southbound passenger service passes the closed signal box and sidings which served Long Meg Anhydrite Mine. The box replaced a previous structure, a little to the north, and opened in 1955, closing in 1983 although it stood derelict until demolished in 2013.
London Victoria: The main departure board at London Victoria, for platforms 1 to 8, on 17th January 2026.
Aberdeen: Track renewal Aberdeen station. A long rake of wagons being loaded with spent ballast during the weekend possession on 31st January 2026.
Appleby: First S and C steam of 2026! SR Battle of Britai 34067 'Tangmere' passing through Appleby on Saturday 31st January with the first railtour on the S&C this year. This was the return leg of the 'Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express' running as 1Z63, 1428hrs Carlisle to Manchester Victoria. West Coast Railway's 47746 'Chris Fudge 29.7.70 - 22.6.10' was on the rear.
Old Harpur Siding: Exploring old railways may present a number of physical hazards and this stretch of the Cromford and High Peak Railway at Old Harpur is no exception but you can’t say you weren’t warned!
Clitheroe: 156414 departs Clitheroe station, on the curve behind the train, heading for Rochdale via Manchester on 14th January 2026. The train is passing the site of the old goods yard, now occupied by a supermarket and public car park. Clitheroe Castle, on a hill in the town is a well known local landmark but the parish church is on a similar hill and so also stands out.
Goodge Street: Goodge Street, LU Northern Line, southbound platform looking south, on 17th January 2026. See image [[79990]] for the history of this station and an exterior view.
Rosyth: DBC 66128 nears Rosyth with 6K10 from Dalmeny to Carlisle New Yard, passing 158721 on the 12.06 from Inverkeithing to Leven, on 21st January 2026. Perfect timing...
Murrayshall Siding: View of the bridge over the Touch Burn looking north, with the River Forth beyond.
Coatbridge Central: Coatbridge Central station looking south. There is no recorded date for the shot but at a guess it was taken in either 1972 or 1973. Semaphore signalling is still in use with the signal box visible to the extreme right of the shot, although the up platform building looks in poor condition, certainly at the north end. From memory there were very few passenger trains calling at that time so it is possible the station was unstaffed.
