Seen here passing Prescot Station and what may of been the first time since 1996, a pair of Class 20's, No 20118 and 20901 transverse the St Helens to Huyton Junction line on 0Z60 08.57hrs Chaddesden Sidings to Kirkdale L/E route learning jolly! Unfortunately, this was the only image I could obtain of this working as I was due in work 90 minutes after this train pass by. 11th August 2021.
