Passing Place.
St Bees station serves as a passing place on a single line section between Sellafield and Whitehaven.
After collecting the token for the single line section to Sellafield, 47202 heads an MGR - bound for Fiddlers Ferry - through St Bees on a beautiful early summer evening in May 1982. A northbound Derby class 108 waits for the coal train to pass through before continuing its journey on the Single line to Corkickle.
At this time no token was required for trains towards Corkickle as an acceptance/direction system was in place.
Thanks to CJ Rich for identifying the 47.
