Amidst a forest of lamps, Transport for Wales class 197 018 departs Llandudno for Llandudno Junction on a fill-in shuttle service before its main run back to Manchester Airport. The station still boasts a nice semaphore signal gantry. There can't be many of those left these days.

Signalbox at Castleton East Junction where the line to Bury leaves the Manchester to Rochdale line. The end-on junction with the East Lancs Railway is a short distance along the Bury line towards Heywood. The line branching off on the nearside of the box served the welded rail depot that has been closed and demolished for some time.

1450 with an autotrailer waits for the road outside Bewdley South Box on the Severn Valley Railway.

Severn Bridge Junction at Shrewsbury with the road set for a train to Cardiff. A rare survival is the Great Western type lower quadrant signalling with miniature arms. In the background is the largest mechanical signalbox left in Britain.

4F 43924 leads a mixed train into the station at Keighley.

"Kriegslok" 33-064 runs round its train before taking the empty coal wagons from the exchange sidings at Lukavac to the Sikulje colliery, Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Empty biomass hoppers from Drax head away from Barnetby a short time before the semaphore signalling was replaced at this Lincolnshire station.

The Industrial Railway Society held its 2012 AGM at the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley. Services on the line during the day were operated by industrial locomotives. Pecket 1131 ' Whitehead ' is crossing over after running round at Hammersmith, flanked by a fine example of a Midland signalbox and vintage signals.

Networker 466 005 arriving at Snodland with train to Strood. I wonder how much longer the signalbox with its natty little extension will survive.
