Harwich boat rains
I used to work in Romiley and saw these trains running well into the 80's. I travelled on it once round about 1973. I think it left Man Picc at 13.13. It did not use Woodhead, but went through Romiley and the Hope Valley line, MML, then Melton Mowbray and forever across country to Harwich. Once was enough ! Further trips to Harwich were by WCML then from Liverpool Street, but i'm glad I did it. Until close to the end it had a Gresley "teak" catering vehicle which, if my memory serves me correctly, was painted in BR blue / Grey.
