Leyland
Now preserved 40135 hauls a Class 503 Wirral EMU on the Down Fast line through Leyland. At this time these units were still going for works attention rather than scrapping and I have since been told that the workings went to and from Horwich Works with a reversal in Preston on the journey to and from Merseyside, hence the two brake vans. See image 25598 40135 was withdrawn just over five years later and is now with the Class 40 Preservation Society on the East Lancashire Railway. Image 38875 shows the modern day equivalent working.
