Image: © Martin Addison Taken: 29 Apr 1978
A view of the through lines in 1978 during a photo-stop on a railtour. The sidings on the left formed part of Ardwick East Goods Depot and have since been lifted although the land they occupied remains undeveloped. Evidence of their existence can still be seen in the form of the isolated sections of catenary that stand amongst the young trees that have grown on the land. The loco is 40170 operating the Northwest Rambler railtour. Class 40's were popular locos on tours at the time as they were being withdrawn from service.
