Description
Long before the station was built at Furness Sidings, the only train running during our visit in 2006 was blue 73133 up to Whistle Inn. I don't think any services ran south of the station?
Also of note were the steam loco in the yard. I could only identify 2874, 5668, 3885 and 5967. Obviously there was an event in the nearby fields, maybe you know why !
Finally we go down to Aberthaw, and the well kept sidings, now overgrown in 2025. The signal box is all that remains of a busy time at the power station. JUST PASSED 5,000,00 VIEWS IN TOTAL THIS WEEK !! Thanks for watching.
