40143-Longsight-290680 GE143
Were you on this shed-bashing trip of the North West on Sunday 29th June 1980? An NREA trip that took in (in order) Stockport SP, Reddish, Guide Brudge SP, Longsight, Newton Heath, Manchester Victoria station, Wigan NW station, Springs Branch, Canada Dock Goods, Liverpool Lime Street, Wavertree Parcels Depot, Edge Hill, Allerton, Speke Junction SP, Ditton SP, Widnes West SP, Warrington Arpley and Northwich. The party is just descending the footbridge into Longsight depot, greeted by 'split-box' 40143 leaving the depot at that time and 47535 alongside and 40126 behind. No Health and Safety worries then - happy days! ©www.railphotoprints.co.uk - Gordon Edgar Collection
