One of the captions on flickr says its Knowsley Street bridge, which is Bury. I think the view is of Bolton West Junction, taken from Soho St. bridge looking towards
Newport St. Trinity St. Station is beyond the bridge.
The would normally be MK4 coaches, class 91 loco and a DVT at the rear. It is possible that a HST power car could be on the rear.
The buffer fitted ones initially worked with the 91s before the DVTs were built.
