Great footage especially that Crompton bouncing along through the station with a light load. It always amused me how daft people would fling open the doors long before the train had stopped. No chance of that happening these days, you have to wait 15 seconds before the doors are released. Thanks so much for bringing back happy memories.

Did you capture the Brookgate coal trains by any chance? Used to regularly work them with a 56.
