Golborne, Haydock Branch Chord, 31286 (19.30 Kelbits Ashton-in-Makerfield - Inverness) July 12th 1987.
A one off Sunday night working from Ashton-in-Makerfield Kelbits to Inverness propels onto the down slow of the WCML at Haydock Branch Junction. Hard to believe in this day and age with all its health and safety restrictions but under the instruction of the guard in radio contact with the driver it ran like this for three miles to Springs Branch. Upon arrival the 31 ran around and the guards van was detached before the overnight journey to Inverness.
