A Class 506 electric multiple unit arrives at Guide Bridge with a service for Manchester Victoria. Ordered by the LNER in 1938, the units were not actually built until 1950 after the Second World War. Even then, the route was not ready until 1954 when the units finally entered service in June of that year. They remained in service until December 1984 when the route was converted to 25kV AC from the original 1500V DC. They were the last 1500V DC passenger trains in the UK.
