signalnorth Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Can anyone direct to the title of a book I saw long ago and never bought. An illustrated largish SoftBack which covered the Southport to Preston line and perhaps other locations around Preston . I bet someone here knows it. Much appreciated in advance!

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted November 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2021 This is a fairly recent one - so probably not the one you are looking for https://www.champnews.com/story.asp?id=GN4_ART_1877327 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
signalnorth Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hi Phil That's not it but thanks for a link to that book as I was not aware of it .So, cheers! I remembered today that in the book I was looking for there was a pic or two of a summer special and the caption described the route of the train from Manchester as taking now ( by this time ) the clc to Aintree and then up the Ormskirk line to Burscough Jnc in order to reach Ormskirk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) It will be one of the ones in this series by Foxline of mostly North West and North Wales. I've got the book, but can't remember the full title. I'll post it when I find it. Some are now out of print, but are easy to find on places like Amazon. Booklaw has a few. https://www.booklaw.co.uk/foxline-books.html?page=all This one? https://rail-books.co.uk/collections/foxline/products/journeys-by-excursion-train-from-east-lancashire-part-2-southport-morcambe-scenes-from-the-past-26-9781870119412 Jason Edited November 24, 2021 by Steamport Southport Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
