[John_142]

Today i was talking to a freind that works at Rainhill about routes to take from Rainhill to Blackpool and it started me thinking about when i was a young boy when i traveled on this line to visit my relatives who live in Lytham St.Annes.

As i used to get of the train at Preston or Lytham and would get picked up here by my uncle and then those days it was a single track for as far as i can remeber so i was wondering if it was still the same.

And aslo i notice from the National Rail Website that these trains now go to Colne and Blackburn so how long have they been going there as as far as i can remeber they only used to go as far as Preston.

I was also wondering if they still use 142 Units on here as these were the norm at one time during the evening you would get a 153 Unit.

I aslo remeber the Loco Hauled train Stopping at Garswood tin the Morning to go to Blackpool these were certanley the good days.

I can't think of any train that stops at Garswood now to go to Blackpool only on a Sunday and your bound to be squahed on 150 or 156.


I may take a trip up there sometime but knowing my luck it will be a 156 unit on the Blackpool South Line.
