    Default Saving Merseysides rail heritage

    Restoration of the London Midland & Scottish railways Southport line electric train, (known as a class 502 EMU) is underway at Tebay. Lets hope that it can be returned to Merseyside, & possibly run trips on its old route some day. The group restoring the train are planing a transport rally on October 29 with visiting vehicles & a chance to see how the restoration is progressing. http://www.southportvisiter.co.uk/so...1022-28718689/
