Summary edit
| Description |
English: Southward from Farington Station, with train. A fine panoramic view up the West Coast Main line on one of its busiest stretches, between Euxton Junction and Preston, which the ex-London & North Western shared with the ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire as the Lancashire Union Railway, the L&Y trains from the Manchester direction joining at Euxton Junction. It was especially busy on Summer Saturdays and here in 1957 the 16.55 from Manchester Victoria to Blackpool North/Fleetwood approaches the site of Farington station (closed on 7/3/60) on the Down Fast, as an Up express recedes on the Up Slow past Farington Junction Box. On the left of the Box with the line of wagons is the ex-L&Y Farington Fork, which allowed access at Lostock Hall to the former East Lancashire line from Liverpool to Blackburn; this Fork was probably only used for freight. |
