Brrrr, during a spell of severe weather 85013 roars past Tunnel Hill with an up liners on December 12th 1981
Staple WCML power for umpteen years, 86229 at Ledburn Jn with a late afternoon Euston – Wolves on October 3rd 2002.
“Big purple” 87002 looking good passes Ledburn with an afternoon Manchester – Euston on July 6th 2004. By this time the junction at Ledburn had been moved furthur South at a ridiculous cost…
