flyingsignalman Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 In 1979 before the London trains (and the Royal Train) ran, a test train was run to Rock Ferry and Green Lane to gauge the route 47 228 run onto the goods lines at Rock Ferry with the 3 coach test train consisting of 2 mark 3s and a mark 2 On the Sunday of the diversions, at about 7 am, an empty stock train from Edge Hill to Rock Ferry (to work one of the Londons) passes Hooton. I was on night turn so this was the only one I saw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted February 17, 2013 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 17, 2013 I've got loads, but the lack of interest (aside from a few members) on this and the signalling thread has lead me to the conclusion that no-one is interested, or rather not enough to make it worthwhile scanning and uploading, this takes a significant amount of time and if it's too much for people to tick "like" to show they are looking then, in my grumpy mood, why should I bother ?

RMweb Premium Grafarman Posted February 17, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 17, 2013 Please don't be grumpy; this thread and the signalling thread are two of the reasons I check in every day!! More please David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold DaveF Posted February 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 17, 2013 I always enjoy your images, but have to admit I tend to specifically "like" ones which are of places I've visited at various times. Quiote often I have a quick look when you first post, then a few days later go back and study them more carefully. It's amazing the odd details you can then see. Please continue posting them.

flyingsignalman Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 A couple to keep you going! 31 208 at Mollington St late 1979 (I think) when 31s weren't normally seen on the Wirral. It had worked in on a Shellstar train to Ince from Whitemoor. It stayed for a few days whilst a driver with route and traction knowledge was found to take it back.
