Hidden UK train station is swallowed by nature after 4 decades with eerie pics showing rows of moss-covered locomotives
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EERIE snaps of a UK train station swallowed by nature reveals rows of moss-covered locomotives. The train graveyard was unearthed by urban explorer Tokyo Scott. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Eerie footage shows a train graveyard tucked away with rusting locomotives Credit: Caters 5 The incredible find is located in the Scottish Highlands Credit: Caters 5 Some of the engines are barely identifiable Credit: Caters The 21-year-old stumbled upon the haunting site located in the Scottish Highlands and documented her experience exploring the former station. Spooky images show rows of derelict engines which are barely recognisable after being engulfed by rust and moss. Other snaps show shattered windows, collapsing chimneys, and rotting train cars - offering a fascinating window into the past and the fading echoes of industrial life. Tokyo has come across over 10,000 abandoned vehicles with a collective value well over £1 million. "Over one million for sure, trains are worth a lot," she said. 'The abandoned train station stands silent in the misty Highlands, its weathered timbers and rusting tracks slowly vanishing beneath creeping moss and heather. 'It was crazy how long they had been left there, that's what surprised me the most. 'How they could be dumped and left to rot with no one interested in them. 'When we found the freight train, I love trainspotting and trains so it was a dream come true. 'Some people think trespass shouldn't be allowed, but others appreciate that I'm showcasing abandoned places that will never see the light of day otherwise.' Dark underbelly of UK's new City of Culture plagued by soaring unemployment, 'spiced-up' druggies & 'roaming XL Bullies' It comes after a haunting graveyard of rotting vintage vehicles has been captured in the British countryside by another urban explorer. Images show rusting motors lined up, including a nostalgic 90s Cadillac, in various states of disrepair. The scrapyard, which inhabits a crumbling UK farm, also includes dusty Micras and Volvos. The latter takes up most of the space, where a lineup of once eye-catching 240s and 244s eerily sit. Some of them don badges and stickers from their last days on the road. One Volvo in particular is likely a more recent addition as it sports a fresh-looking exhaust warning sticker. But others have seen better days. Some have been stacked, used to prop up even more scrap, their roofs caved in under the weight of other forgotten vehicles. 5 Spooky images show rows of derelict engines Credit: Caters

BBC MasterChef winner 'feels awful' for John Torode as complaint left her 'gobsmacked'
John Torode was sacked from MasterChef earlier this month after an allegation of racism was upheld against him, while his co-host Gregg Wallace was also axed from the BBC show Former MasterChef champion Thomasina Miers has revealed she "feels awful" following John Torode's dismissal from the BBC cooking programme as the complaint against him left her "gobsmacked". Since being selected to co-present the revamped MasterChef in 2005, John Torode and Gregg Wallace developed into one of British television's most recognisable partnerships. Their partnership was torn apart in recent weeks after 45 complaints were sustained against Wallace, including one for "unwelcome physical contact" and three involving a state of undress. Shortly after Wallace's downfall, co-star Torode faced a single racism allegation which was upheld, resulting in his departure. Torode has vehemently rejected the racism claim and has voiced his shock and sadness. During an appearance on the Spooning with Mark Wogan podcast, Thomasina reflected on her experience on the programme. Speaking about the allegation against Torode, she revealed: "I felt awful for John. I mean, and also the elegance of his response to it, how he conducted himself." She continued: "I think, yeah, I was kind of gobsmacked by John (the news of the allegation being upheld), who was so caring and intent on the people under his watch, under his care." Thomasina claimed victory in the first series of the relaunched MasterChef in 2005. Twelve months after her triumph, she launched her own restaurant empire, establishing the beloved Mexican-inspired street food chain Wahaca, which now operates 14 locations across the UK. Thomasina isn't the only famous face to show their support for Torode after the racism claim emerged. Both Amanda Holden and McFly's Danny Jones showed their backing by liking the ex-MasterChef presenter's Instagram post from July 14, where he acknowledged being the person at the centre of the "racial language" allegations. A BBC spokesman issued a statement declaring: "John Torode has identified himself as having an upheld allegation of using racist language against him. "This allegation – which involves an extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace – was investigated and substantiated by the independent investigation led by the law firm Lewis Silkin. John Torode denies the allegation. "He has stated he has no recollection of the alleged incident and does not believe that it happened. He also says that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. "The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously. We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and, as we have already said, we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode's contract on MasterChef will not be renewed." The opening three instalments of the current MasterChef series - showcasing Torode and Wallace prior to their dismissals - landed on iPlayer yesterday morning (Wednesday, August 6). The episodes seem to have been trimmed to feature reduced jokes between the duo and less interaction with the amateur cooks than viewers typically expect.

Fast food lover details his quest to visit all 13,544 McDonald's in the US... and it will take three decades
One man has set out on a quest to visit all 13,544 McDonald's in the US... despite the fact that the endeavor may cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars and take over three decades to complete. The 19-year-old man, who goes by Donny Boys online and asked to keep his real name hidden for privacy reasons, from Phoenix Arizona, said he's loved McDonald's for as long as he can remember. He also has a fierce passion for traveling - so he decided to combine the two and create a challenge for himself to go to every single McDonald's location in America. He kicked off the endeavor in July 2024, and has been to around 350 locations in the last year in states like Wisconsin, Illinois, California, Oregon, and Washington. The content creator been documenting the entire thing on his TikTok account, reviewing each location's food, atmosphere, and cleanliness. He has racked up over 128,000 followers along the way, gaining a legion of fans who are now religiously turning in to see if he can complete the massive task. While chatting exclusively with the Daily Mail about it, Donny explained that he consumes McDonald's once one a day. The fast food lover said he's not worried that he'll get sick of the beloved burger chain because he's been eating it regularly since he was 14 and still enjoys it. He also insisted that it has not negatively impacted his health because he has a 'very balanced diet to counter all the fast food he eats.' 'I have been eating McDonald's almost daily for years and I still have maintained a healthy figure and physique,' he said. While he's enjoying the food, Donny insisted that it's more about traveling than eating at McDonald's to him. He explained that he's always dreamed of seeing the world and that has pushed him to get out there and accomplish it. 'It's always been my dream to travel the entire country and see everything that our country has to offer and this challenge will fulfill my dreams,' said Donny. With more than 13,000 locations still to go, it would take Donny over 36 years to finish the quest if he visited one McDonald's every day. And he estimates that it will cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars to complete it, but even so, he believes it's possible. 'If I had to take a estimate this will cost me around $500k to $750k in travel cost like food, hotels, gas, flights, and car maintenance,' he dished. He's been documenting the entire thing on his TikTok account, reviewing each location's food, atmosphere, and cleanliness He recently launched a GoFundMe for people to help fund his endeavor, where he's raised $105 so far. 'I've always dreamed of visiting every McDonald's in the United States, tasting each unique item on the menu and experiencing the local vibes,' he wrote in the description. 'This journey isn't just about the food; it's about connecting with people and cultures across the country. 'However, the costs of travel, lodging, and meals add up quickly. With your support, I can make this culinary adventure a reality, sharing my experiences and discoveries with you every step of the way. Join me on this delicious quest!' He told the Daily Mail that he's also in the midst of creating a website so people can 'track which ones he has been to so far.' We'll check back in with Donny in three decades to see if he completed the expedition.
