Semaphore Heaven 2
En route to Goodison I made a day of it taking in (in reverse order) Huyton, Kirkham North Junction and Blackpool North No. 2.
This is the latter location. Blackpool North.
I took literally hundreds of shots on the day.
A lovely box with a real L & Y feel, predominantly mechanical points and semaphores, a busy timetable, it was a joy to just watch the signaller throwing the levers about.
A wander onto the platform during a patch of sunshine saw a Class 150 unit given the road from platform 3 with a service to Liverpool.
I'm not planning to edit and sort through all the shots just yet but couldn't resist putting up a couple of shots with trains in.
