Birkenhead Central Station ? 1968
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 26 Sep 1968
A six car train, made up of two standard 3-car sets, on its way to Liverpool Central. The leading car is one of the original series built by the London Midland and Scottish Railway in 1938 when the West Kirby and New Brighton lines were electrified. Further sets to the same design were built by British Railways in 1956 to replace the original Mersey Railway stock. Both builds were later classified by British Rail as Class 503. They remained in service until 1985. The large building to the left was the main train storage depot for this section of the line.
