The end of the Springwell Branch, in autumn no less.<br>[&copy; John Cameron 2019]

Guard Kev looks out of 'Molly'. In orange, right, are Alan Sheppard and far right, by the fence, Martyn Brailsford both trained to operate trackside.<br>[&copy; thanks to Kev Adlam 2019]

Two of the sidings used by East Midlands Trains during the summer 2018 Derby station blockade were clear (and rusty). The Roundhouse Museum is background centre and left. Taken from the rear Class 08; 'Molly' and the Class 03 are in front to the right.<br>[&copy; Ian Mortimer 2019]

Returning from the car park end of line with the '08' leading; Roundhouse Halt is on the left.<br>[&copy; Ian Mortimer 2019]

Taken from the Springwell Branch, 31128 arrives via the NR connection (which is ahead) for our tour the next day. Roundhouse Halt is round to the left.<br>[&copy; John Cameron 2019]

Approaching yet another end of line; Roundhouse Halt and its bay platform are right.<br>[&copy; John Cameron 2019]

The end of the Car Park road, in ... the car park; the main public entrance (ahead) was shut for the day due to our AGM. The buffer stops is the furthest that track extends beyond the Round House.<br>[© John Cameron 2019]

We all know that Kev is not afraid to get his hands dirty, but this is definitely way beyond the call of duty…<br>[&copy; Mark Haggas 2019]
