Details

The view through bridge 26 looking towards Kirkham North Junction as a 6-Car Class 104 formation takes the station avoiding line with a Blackpool North to Manchester Victoria service on Saturday August 2nd 1980. The leading car is M50474 one of the large fleet of 104's then allocated to Newton Heath Depot. This was before the construction of the Kirkham by-pass which now crosses the line adjacent to the signalbox. The Coast Line to Blackpool South can be seen diverging away on the left, whilst behind the outer home signal on the Blackpool bound line is one of the brick piers that once carried the flyover that took trains from the Marton Direct Line (From Blackpool Central) over the Blackpool North route, the ramp onto the up direction station avoiding line being at the West side of the signalbox.
