Kirkham North Junction, 31449 (13.20 Blackpool North - Manchester Victoria) September 15th 1990.
31449 on the up fast is about to pass Kirkham North Junction box with the 13.20 Blackpool North - Manchester Victoria.
This was one of the busiest locations in the whole country on a summer Saturday with routes diverging left via the coast through Lytham, straight on to Poulton and Blackpool North and diverging left by the outer home signal to Blackpool Central via the 'Marton line' through Blackpool South.
* The abutments of the 'Flyover' from the up fast line can be seen in the distance and the alignment is clearly seen in the grass above the 31.
* The M55 Motorway is now built on the alignment of the 'Marton line' all the way to Blackpool South and was always my favourite route into Blackpool, happy days.
