From BBC» News pages "Northern: Yorkshire trains trial leaves on the line solution" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-63109000. The story is fine and the illustration does show a train with some leaves ... but third rail electrification in Yorkshire? |

From The BBC» Err - this looks like a heritage railway. Not sure if any of them are unionised, and it's highly unlikely even if they were that there would be strikes looking to the government to better their remuneration packages or terms and conditions.  |

Goathland on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway by the looks of it.
No Whitby trains or Santa Specials there today.

Wherever he is, it looks like the poor chap has been ‘sent to Coventry’ so perhaps it is an appropriate image?  |

Despite the credit in that article, Alamy are selling this one royalty free (crediting the same photographer). They label it as "Asian depressed traveler waiting at train station after mistakes a train Stock Photo". I'm not sure they meant it to read quite like that.
Several uses of it come up, mostly linked to depression or other travel modes.

It's odd that Alamy thought it relevant to label at least vaguely the geographic origin of the passenger, who could of course be on a platform anywhere in the world, but not that of the train, which is unlikely to stray far from its home country and is clearly not UK▸ -based! The apparent lack of clear tagging is presumably a contributory factor in many irrelevant photo, but subeditors could I'm sure use a bit more common sense. There's probably not much hope though for anyone who lets through the phrase "train station busyness". Aaaarghh!!

I would hazard a guess at Thailand, which is at least on the same planet as Coventry.

It seems that the wintry image of Goathland posted above on December 13 also comes from Alamy. At first glance I thought it showed a rather good model railway "decorated" for Christmas. |

Sadly, as a long-time Chronicle reader, these days most of the photos in the print edition are such library "stock" photos or screen captures of Google Street View. They do though usually get the place right! |
