Bamfurlong, LSL HST 43055 & 43046 'West Highland Pullman' Day 1 (06.00 Reading - Fort William) 23/10/21.
LSL Midland Pullman HST flashes north this morning approaching Springs Branch MPD with 'The West Highland Pullman'.
* Hard to believe these days but this was an area of intensive activity up until the early 70's.
Bamfurlong Sorting Sidings box was situated to the right along with 17 sidings and to the left was Bamfurlong North and Ince Moss Sidings.
The slow lines going under the WCML went to Springs Branch MPD and also the Whelley line via Platt Bridge Junction.
The whole layout was rationalised and slewed here plus the flyover was raised for electrification in September 1972.
* Pole @ 10m, impossible from ground level.
