Acton Bridge station, in modern days (1992)
View SE, towards Crewe and the South: ex-LNWR West Coast Main Line. Electric services began here from 1/1/62 to Liverpool, to Glasgow from 6/5/74. The Inter-City 125 train seen here may have been bound for Blackpool. [Suggestions?].

Acton Bridge station with Down parcels, December 1963
View southwards on the WCML, towards Crewe etc. The main line had been electrified as far as Liverpool for a year and the passenger traffic to Carlisle and beyond was by now worked by Diesels, but not the freight. Here, on Christmas Eve, a Down parcels is headed by Stanier 'Black Five' No. 44802 of 12A (built 1/44, withdrawn 7/68 - one of the very last). The snow had come, but unlike in the previous winter it did not persist.
