A (later) Derby Lightweight (M56484, set LT330) and a Cravens set sit in New Mills Central Station Derbyshire in August 1969. This photo looking northwest towards Manchester was taken from the classic GCR latticed footbridge. The station was the junction for the Midland Railway line to New Mills from Millers Dale via Chinley and the Hope Valley line to Sheffield. I had travelled on the soon-to-be-closed branch line to Hayfield & was now waiting for my connection back to Sheffield. By this time the Midland line beyond Millers Dale to Derby was closed. The dmu in the Down platform seemed to be stabled there for quite a while before heading back to Manchester Piccadilly. Pete LG99.

Class 108 DMU set LT330 departs from Manchester Central. It has Chester on the destination blind and looks like a Class 100 on the rear. The date was recorded as 6 August 1969 yet the station is listed as having closed in early May 1969. Harvey Scowcroft / Nigel Valentine Collection.
