RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted July 19, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2017 I got this ready for the previous challenge, but realised in time that it was for re-opened not heritage, but now it is!

"In the heart of LNWR territory" Being pedantic I think that picture is taken on the south side of the station which was specifically built for the MR, after they had originally shared the Northern part. Of course post BR rebuilding and the removal of the bi-secting Queen's Drive the differential had virtually gone. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
