I first visited Ditton Junction in 1986 to bag pictures of the class 58's working the Toton to Garston export coal trains. It became a regular spotting location over the next 4 years. The passenger service at the time was poor, to say the least, with two services in each direction per day. The station in 1986 was seriously neglected although there was an S&T department staff based within the building on platform 2 and a resident shunter who resided in the former booking office. Many happy hours were spent here.
Top left sees an AC electric passing through the station on a short parcels train on 19 September 1989.
Top right sees a class 47 thundering through with a rake of Inter City liveried coaches in 1995 nearly 12 months after closure. Weeds are starting to take over the platforms.
Bottom left on 10 December 2000 and with the abolition of the Ditton No1 and No2 boxes Railtrack decided to demolish some of the platform buildings. Why some?
By January 2004 the platform surfaces were becoming increasingly overgrown and the buildings on the up side were in a terrible state. The picture shows a Liverpool bound express which was running wrong line back into the station due to a problem further along the fast line. The driver is receiving his instructions and would leave the station wrong road then pass back through the station on the down slow goods, to the left.
Ditton Junction or Ditton as it was officially known gained some notoriety as it was the first station closed in the post privatisation era by Railtrack with a funeral party complete with coffin and pallbearers meeting the final train to run from the station.

Cargill G-8 1134 (A613 6/54) ex Columbia Cellulose 1134 exx CN 852 exx CN 1102 nee 7672 @Evansville IN 7-17-85.
While GE export locomotives were sold to Hampton & Branchville and Santa Maria Valley and White Pass & Yukon had Alco export units, this may be the only EMD export unit to operate in the United States.
It is ex CN which had two groups of A1A-A1A G-8's; standard-gauge for use on prairie branch lines and narrow-gauge for Newfoundland as well as G-12's that it inherited from London & Port Stanley. The narrow-gauge G-8's remained A1A-A1A units throughout their service lives, while the standard gauge units were converted to B-B by simply removing the center axle.
This unit is one of the A1A standard-gauge units and you can easily see the space where the idler axle was removed from the trucks.
The Electric Scots had only been running for a couple of years when 87020 was seen departing Carstairs with a southbound service on 1st April 1977.
Like half of the class, 87020 was exported to Bulgaria in 2009 where it is still operational.
CN 327 passes MP 14 of CN's Kingston Sub. As always, it has a lot of lumber bound for the U.S (this train gets interchanged to CSX near the Quebec-New York border).
