Set: LT330
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.

Keswick station, circa 1970, was a shadow of it's former self, like so many stations shortly to close it is dilapidated and uncared for. To the far right is the water tower from steam days, a sign on the left platform says Subway although there is no reason to cross. In the platform is the lone surviving working, an out and back from Penrith, Keswick was an intermediate station beween Cockermouth and Penrith, which was recommended for closure in the Beeching report. The line closed west of Keswick 18th April 1966 leaving an 18 mile branch to Penrith, and that was closed 4th March 1972.
