Wigan Wallgate, Jubilee 5593 'Kolhapur' ( Wigan Wallgate - Southport Steamport) August 31st 1986.

The same Sunday morning as the previous image and it looks like I had the time to drive into Wigan to catch up with 'Kolhapur' on its crew familiarisation run prior to working the 'Southport Visiter' specials two weeks later.

Seen here after a run round its support coach prior to working back to Southport Steamport. On the footplate, friend and ex Springs Branch driver Arthur Pollard, I recall remarking how small the fire was in the grate that day.

Sunday August 31st 1986.

* The previous day 'Kolhapur' had worked 'The Lancashire Coast Express' Derby - Southport.
