56051 Approaches Wigan - 29th July 2025
This being a new road bridge that I've never visited previously thought I'd make a trek to opposite side of town for a rare change typically on another main road.
The 56 was working a Carlisle to Bescot (Walsall) locomotive move running very slow with the Blackpool to Liverpool express infront. The bridge can see in the distance is caged so impossible to film from.
The Liverpool to Glasgow lunchtime train going north spoiling the shot slightly ah well. This bridge is good for northbound stuff too. I'll post that video soon.
