Review of 2025 (3) : Q3

So, into the second half of the year we go. The first half was pretty intense to be honest. How would the second half be? Pretty busy indeed though with much less of a focus on visiting new places compared to the first half of the year.

July began with a trip to Little Kimble and Ellesborough, Buckinghamshire would figure pretty highly in the second half of the year with multiple trips. This was followed by a return to Bearley, and then back to Buckingamshire again, this time to Denham. Finally, there was a trip to Stafford station. Railway photography trips to Stafford and Derby would become more common as i switched to a four day week.

August began with the long-awaited Rail 200 event at Derby, and what a wonderful thing that was too! Then it was back to Buckinghamshire again, this time to Monks Risborough and Princes Risborough. There was a canal walk along my old hunting ground, the Tame Valley. There was a trip to Crewe station. I returned to Buckinghamshire yet again with a trip to Stoke Mandeville. Closer to home were trips to Codsall and Budbrooke.

September began with a trip to London and some travelling up and down the Bakerloo Line. I returned to Belper in Derbyshire and Hinckley in Leicestershire, the second half of the year saw me return to a number of towns i have been to once before, but years ago. Attenborough in Nottinghamshire was another return visit, which also included a walk along the Trent and Beeston Cut.
