Huncoat

195129 speeds westwards through Huncoat with the 0922 York to Blackpool North service on 22nd August 2023. On the Down line, 150225 is just pulling away from the station with the 1024 Preston to Colne stopping service. The land to the right of the line between this bridge and the station was occupied by Huncoat Colliery from 1890 until its 1968 closure. The old colliery access bridge, which provided a good view of the station, has been fenced off.
