Intercity liveried 87029 'Earl Marischal' and matching stock round Queensville Curve on the approach to Stafford with an afternoon London Euston-Liverpool Lime Street train in March 1987. I first saw a lovely Michael Mensing picture of a class 40 here in a railway annual in the 1960's and the footbridge remains a popular location for photographers today
This one caught me out as I remember hence it not fitting the frame very well. 47721"Saint Bede"+47736"Cambridge T&RS"towing 87029"Earl Marischal" passing Ladybridge Lane Bolton taken from Deane Golf Club. Diverted 1P57 08.30 Euston -Preston on 3 December 2001.
47840"North Star"+87029"Earl Marischal" DIT pass Saltley viaduct on 03/Aug/2003 working the diverted 1G21 08.50 London Euston to Wolverhampton service.
The first picture was taken on August 4th 1976 and features 87029 heading for Euston.
The pendo was 390136, one of the eleven car formations which was also Euston bound with 1A36 from Manchester Piccadilly on August 4th 2016.
It took me 40 years almost to the day to go back to find a station in much better condition with a more frequent service too. The footbridge has gone, as has the rather naff bus shelter.
The passenger experience has gone backwards though in my opinion, give me a seat on a mk3 against the cramped and usually overcrowded pendlino.
Rob glances at the speeding train, he told me that the lovely station building is now a vets practice.
I took a burst of frames, but chose to have the train in the 'now' shot a bit further back to show the brickwork which was best covered up by the loco in 1976.
