Trying to put a date on my past! I lived in Kirkham near Blackpool, an LMS area. Trainspotting on the GWR at Snow Hill was therefore, always a treat.
One day (1961-1962??) I was at the south end of the station when I saw people getting excited as a steam loco pulling goods make its way from the north end of the station. It was like a Mexican Wave of trainspotters.
When the train got to me, I joined the wave. My records disappeared as I grew up and now I am trying to pin down what date this event might have occurred. It must have been in the summer months...school holiday time.
I know it must have gone through Snow Hill many times but I just wonder if anyone has records of this train's movements through the great station.
