57010 & 47245 Passes Springs Branch - 21st August 2025
The locomotive convoy were on another stock drag move from Carnforth down to Southall running just 1 minute late as the train passes an emergency signalled area.
Cable theft caused absolute chaos between Wigan North Western and Golborne Junction areas either early morning of bus being filmed or the previous day. Meaning everything was running extra slow with all sorts of safety checks in place.
Emergency special signalling explained by Ben in this video which is tremendous.
