Ordsall Lane Junction, CFPS 40145 'The Fishwick Centenarian' (Carlisle - Newcastle - Preston) July 28th 2007.

The 2007 view from Oldfield Road bridge looking towards Ordsall Lane and CFPS 40145 is opened up after running through the Manchester corridor of Piccadilly - Oxford Road and Deansgate ... English Electric magic!

This was an all first class special train to commemorate the centenary of John Fishwick & Sons a travel company based in Leyland, Lancashire.

Routed:

Preston (40145) Manchester Victoria - Preston.

(6201) Preston - Settle Jn - (via S&C) - Petteril Bridge Jn - Carlisle.

A much changed location that goes right back to the dawn of railways.

* Originally advertised under the name of 'Centenary Pullman' with the diesel legs to have been hauled by 55022 'Royal Scots Grey' and routed via Blackpool North.
