My pal Pete lived near Utting Avenue in Liverpool. This photo was taken nearby in Morella Road as this is the only road which passes under the railway between Utting Ave and Townsend Lane on the Bootle branch. Really we missed many opportunities to photograph steam here. This must have been 1967 as there was now a regular service of about five trains per day running this route. It also stopped at all Southport line stations and was now a class 2 service, 2F55. Edgehillsignallman@Flickr.

A late Summer scene on the Preston to Ormskirk line, as a two-car Class 108 with DMBS M51941 leading, accelerates away from the token exchange at Midge Hall whilst working a Preston to Ormskirk service on September 5th 1979. The former crossing keepers cottage is on the right of the unit, the building being set back as the route was once double track in the days before the line was severed at Ormskirk and services ran to and from Liverpool Exchange. The landscape here is dominated by Globe Mill an animal feed plant located adjacent to the signalbox and level crossing at Midge Hall. Martyn Hilbert.
A Class 108 heads into the gathering gloom with its tail lamp visible late on a Autumn afternoon as it passes the Cocker Bar between Midge Hall and Croston with a Preston to Ormskirk service on November 7th 1982. Dominating this scene is the Down Distant signal for Northbound trains approaching Midge Hall, unfortunately in the intervening years the tall peg has since been replaced with a reflective board. Martyn Hilbert.

The tall distant signal for Preston bound trains approaching Midge Hall has now been replaced with a reflective distant board. Martyn Hilbert.

A 2-Car Class 104 DMU with M53527 leading, passes Cocker Bar Farm as it runs between Midge Hall and Croston with a Preston to Ormskirk service on May 20th 1983.

The down Midge Hall distant signal against the farm access bridge has since been replaced by a reflective board. Martyn Hilbert.
