Summary

Description
English: Return holiday express at Farington.
View northward, towards Preston; West Coast Main Line, combined with ex-North Union (London & North Western and Lancashire & Yorkshire Joint line, Euxton Junction - Preston - Blackpool/Fleetwood). The train (of LNER coaches) is the 15.30 Summer Saturdays Blackpool North to Cleethorpes, which will go by a tortuous route, turning off at Euxton Junction and going via the Whelley Loop round Wigan, through to Manchester Victoria, then Miles Platting and Midland Junction onto the ex-Great Central Woodhead route for its first stop at Penistone, then via Barnsley to Doncaster and eventually to Cleethorpes! The locomotive is Hughes/Fowler Class 5P4F 2-6-0 No. 42707, which will hand over to a Eastern engine at Midland Junction (Manchester). (The bridge in the background is Coote Lane).
