I walked between some stations on the same lines, especially at the start of day 2, on the Milngavie and Maryhill lines. I did a couple of connections between lines on foot (Carmyle - Shettleston, Greenock West - Drumfrochar [Not a connection that I would recommend - it's half a mile of steep hill), Cessnock - Dumbreck), but I also put the bus to good use as well (Craigendoran - Cardross, Crookston - Pollockshaws, Neilston - Barrhead, Inverkip - Largs, West Kilbride - Fairlie, Saltcoats - Kilwinning, Maybole - Ayr and Cardonald - Govan)

As for the absence of IBM (plus Branchton and Wemyss Bay) - there was a signalling failure at Port Glasgow while I was on the branch, I decided to prioritise other things and come back later if I had time, which as it turned out, I was running short on in the end

Assuming you require them, as I can't see them in any of your lists, a bit of advice for the Helensburgh stations. I took a train to Helensburgh Upper and walked down to Helensburgh Central for one back. I'd like to say it was good planning but it was pure luck, I wouldn't recommend doing it the other way as it's a fairly substantial hill! I suppose the station names should give it away really...

Settle - Carlisle line ridden in full. The Eden Brows landslip punctuated my previous journey. The work they have done up there is incredible!

Did you base your visit to the Ellesmere Port branch due to my warning that it will become harder to do next month? ;)

(A re-visit due to my strict rules including needing a picture of the sign, and it was lost when my phone broke).

For the 4th time in my bashing career: Northern shacks, tick!

Is that a shack I now have that the famous Kite doesn't? ;)

Both the direct and via Sherburn-in-Elmet route cleared for coverage. Also, a sizeable amount of passengers getting off at Sherburn too for some unknown reason.

Need to go back to Selby one more time for the Doncaster direct route!

If I remember correctly there is a good pub next to the station next to Sherburn so that might have been part of the draw if they had an event on
