| Last
Day of train services between Southport and Preston
Hesketh Bank Railway Station
Date: Sunday September 6th, 1964
Notes: The Preston to Southport railway ran from
1882 until 1964. The final train was in fact the 4:52pm
Preston to Southport. This train was pulled by engine
42296, a Stanier Class 4 Tank. The train was six coaches
long instead of the normal three to cater for the huge
crowds expected; in the event it ran half empty.

Train
over the Douglas
Date: 1920's
Notes: Possibly a Johnson 4-4-0 of around the
1920's, this would fit in with the train it is pulling,
of similar vintage and is probably on an excursion as
these weren't used on this line.
John Bulmer adds "I note from your web site that
the above referenced photo identifies the locomotive
as a Johnson 4-4-0. Whilst it is certainly a 4-4-0,
it is most definitely a Lancashire and Yorkshire one
and therefore, not by Johnson, but more probably by
Barton-Wright or Aspinall. The coaches also appear to
be L&Y, suggesting it was a scheduled service, rather
than an excursion."
