Manchester Victoria
A picture that at first glance doesn't do justice to the train engine, green Class 40 No. 40106. What appears to be a short parcels train is actually a passenger service for Bangor, the rear coach of which can just be seen to the left of the loco as it runs into Manchester Victoria off the now lifted line from Red Bank Carriage Sidings. Also to the left of the loco is the now demolished power signal box while Platting Bank climbs steeply away to the right of the train. The green celebrity loco was finally withdrawn the following year and is now owned by the Class 40 Preservation Society based on the East Lancashire Railway See image 58581.
