BR era steam on railways around Liverpool. Lime Street, Exchange and Central featured along with rare footage of the CLC line to Southport Lord Street.
Some great footage. Excellent shots with Lister Power Station in the background. A terrific tour of the railways around Liverpool. Great and valuable work.
That was absolutely amazing. I started my Railway career as a Trainee Signalman at Garston Church Rd which was shown here. The Box was not for me so I moved outside and went Shunting. If I had a pound for every time I have pulled the points at the Edge hill head shunt shown at the beginning I would be a rich man. We used to run round the coal trains there for Fiddlers ferry, as well as other stuff. An old hand Driver who is sadly no longer with us told me that he worked with a young engine cleaner who we all came to know as Billy J Kramer. He started at Bank hall shed but was at Aintree for a Time, that's where this lad knew him from. I also remember the last days of the MD&HC Loco's although I was only a toddler at the time. One of the last shots is one passing the old Grain terminal at the bottom of Hill St. I grew up not a five minuet walk away. Happy days.
