Wigan's Finest Tour Guide

With the Caledonian Sleeper Up Highlander (1M16) being delayed by around an hour due to a lineside fire in the Kirtlebridge area, there was a last minute call-up for Wigan's Finest, "Driver Colin", to work the service from Preston to Crewe.

 

92020 "Billy Stirling" and Colin are seen racing past Daresbury with a trademark quiet peep on the horn - but not before Colin had taken 1M16's passengers on a rare scenic tour of the Up Goods line at Wigan / Springs Branch.
