Moreton pegs and PEP 164-35 - a photo on Flickriver

Moreton pegs and PEP 164-35

508126 departs from Moreton, heading for central Liverpool with the 14.45 departure from West Kirby.

I was spending a few days on Merseyside during the February half term of my teaching practice, staying with relatives in West Derby and also visiting my sister who was studying at Liverpool University. I spent a day on Merseyrail, mostly trying to photograph the semaphore signalling on the Wirral Line (resignalling was about four years away), but it was a rather gloomy day!

Here is a similar view some 31 years later, albeit with the train closer to the platform end.

Scan from a 35mm Ilford XP1 negative. (I'd rated this roll at 800ASA, and the "push processing" has increased the grain.)

Visit Brian Carter's Non-Transport Pics to see my photos of landscapes, buildings, bridges, sunsets, rainbows and more.
