Re: Accrington Train Station

Churchman Phil:

Track plans of Accrington station.....

At the risk of getting jumped on for being a true geek, the book you need is :

Signalboxes on Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway lines (NE Lancashire) by Chris Littleworth, published by the Signalling Record Society 2002, ISBN 1 873228 21 X.

There's a challenge for Accrington Library!

As regards 'the other train' in the original photo - it looks like empty stock in platform 1 - the Manchester bay. There was also a small goods yard on that side of the station

Re: Accrington Train Station

Actually it turns out it's not such a big challenge after all - there's a copy in the Local studies part of the reference library!
