Redding is not a one horse town.
Main Street Redding. Today a muddy horse paddock, but on the edge of a steep slope, the developers must be hovering.

Polmont Junction
The line at the bottom of the picture and curving away left in the background is the main Edinburgh and Glasgow line via Falkirk High. The Class 170 diesel unit is crossing over to take the line to the right, which leads to Stirling and Dunblane via Falkirk Grahamston. Polmont, conveniently placed between two of Scotland's major cities with good rail and motorway links to both, has in the past few years seen something of a housing boom and the empty area to the left of the train, once occupied by an engine shed and sidings, was earmarked early in 2008 for further housing development.
