15th June 1968
I visited Barrow on a Northern Railfans minibus trip to sheds in the northwest that left from Manchester Victoria - still pretty steamy then - on the Friday evening. This was my one and only real trainspotting foray. Disappointingly there were no steam engines remaining at Barrow in 1968 & I only took a couple of shots - this negative lay unprinted for years. I wish now that I had taken more photos around the shed but at least I did record the depot’s intermediate period when it mainly handled dmus. This Derby Lightweight unit M79134 has obviously been involved in a nasty knock with front buffer gone and cab windows smashed. New to Monument Lane in March 1956 & transferred to Carlisle Upperby in January 1968, the damage was considered too serious for repair and it was withdrawn in early June 1968. Pete LG99.

Barrow in Furness station on 3 September 1975. In the grey morning light, where I had just been decanted from the overnight train from Euston - an LMS design 12-wheel sleeper - hunted abominably on long welded rail, but rode beautifully once we'd turned off the West Coast Main Line on to jointed track at Carnforth.
