    These are brilliant photos and bring back so many memories (but if a later time). Grew up around there and spent hours and hours there in the late 70s, 80s and early 90s. For the last 30 years drive past there on the railway. It’s completely different now.

    Wow, that must sound far worse than it actually was. Done skate moves on wagons that didn’t sound anywhere near as bad as that.

    Keep posting these, I have been trying to get him to go back to early 80s for ages. Hopefully 1984 as the 20s had just arrived in the north west. Best time ever with 08, 20, 25, 37, 40, 45s (on the north Wales), 47, 56 (push a 58!), rosters, 86, the best 87s along with brilliant blue squares, random EMUs and the APT.

    Cant see a problem in opening up. Back end is clear of the points coming from the Royal Mail Terminal onto the up slow, and now opening up for the 40mph crossover.

    Scarborough again, thus time testing the DT ability to activate track circuits in the other direction. Out again with set 9 tomorrow. Set 1 out Wed-Fri night MID-Crewe-Runcorn-Liverpool Lime Street.

    If things go anywhere near a plan I'm taking the class 397 from Crewe to Carlisle and back next Thursday and Friday. Booked off Crewe around 0645ish. We should also have the Mk5a Nova 3 set out to Carlisle so depending on whether that's a MID and back or a Blechley we will either pass somewhere on WCML or be at Carlisle together.

    It's 84 that we need as 20s only came to the north west then. May get away with coal trains though due to the miners strike.

    27008 was the last and was withdrawn in August 1987 after a big withdrawal in July. I think summer 87 to Summer 89 will be better.
