Morcambe - August 87

A class 47 loco.

From the photos the station seems to be a lot bigger than I remember.

Nantwich - Dec 84

The line from Wellington (Salop) joined here until it closed in 1963.

Nelson - 13 July 83

The last stop before Colne.

Apparently this line was removed many years ago when when singling took place from Gannow Junction (Rose Grove) to Chaffers just east of Nelson. The trackbed is now heavily overgrown. Thanks to Paul again for the update.

Old Roan - August 85

A Merseyrail class 508 EMU #508 140.

The station is in Aintree village.

My father said the station was named after a horse that won the national. It is in fact named after a pub. See, parents do tell fibs!!!

Ormskirk - 25 April 84

Where electric meets diesel! The non electrified part goes to Preston. The electrified line (with the Class 508 EMU) goes to Liverpool. Apparently the station still has the same arrangement. How queer!

Penrith - Sept 85
Port Sunlight - 5 March 86
Port Sunlight - 5 March 86

Looking the other way with an another class 508 EMU.

Settle and Carlisle plaque taken Mid 83

No idea where this plaque is / was located. Please put me right if you know.

St Helens Shaw Street (now Central) - August 85
Stafford - 5 Dec 84

Class 86 loco #86 231 - Starlight Express
