Details

A moment in time at Rock Ferry on May 22nd 1979 at 11.35am with Class 101 M56333, part of Chester Depot set CR225, awaiting departure with a service to Ellesmere Port and Helsby. Passengers gather on the platform waiting for the arrival of the DMU from Chester. The third rail was extended southwards from Rock Ferry to Hooton in 1985, and onwards to Chester in 1993 with the line to Ellesmere Port following in 1994. In 1979 the electrics from Liverpool Central terminated in the bay platforms out of view to the left of this scene. Today the platforms here handle all services with the bays now mostly being used for stabling units outside of the peak.
