My thoughts too, a terrible shame about the ''preserved'' 502 being left to rot

A few more of hall rd, A pair of motor coaches,in the siding at the back of the depot. On the other side of the depot looking back to the sta, and a 1940's view looking towards southport. this was the changeover period between the ex L&Y stock & the new derby built LMS stock

The first is at Bootle - believed to be taken 1974.

The second is another station north of there - believed to be taken 1977.

I think the second station is Orrell Park.

Its unlikely to be Orrell Park. I have photos taken there too just a few years later in 1980. That station is low down (at track level) relative to the road.
