There was a few stories, one was he drove a motorbike, he was a ghost, but they all ended up the same, he would kill you :eek:
Going down on my bike towards the Iron Bridge in Broaddway, one of my mates said if you hear a motorbike, race up the sides as its the clown lol. And everytime someone drove down, we were right up the there lol.
Story I remember was that the clown was supposed to be in the real long tunnel that ran under thomas lane before the old railway sidings that sainsburys supermarket is built on now.
If you want to check out some old pics of stations along the loop line I have posted a link below, would loved to have seen some of these stations.
Can anyone remember when the track was still down and running along it ?? I used to walk to and from school via it to Rudston road.

This is a recent picture I have been sent from a chap who now lives in Mossley Hill. Shows the CLC track with a Steam Train on passing Childwall Station and heading for Broadgreen. Taken just by All Saints - and yes, the picture is as blurred as the scan :)
The Bridge under Sandforth Road
Here's a couple coming out from West Derby station heading towards Sandforth road.
Another one from the Loop line.This time heading towards Halewood with a view towards Fiddlers ferry.

Went down the loopline with the mrs at the weekend. It's great; really busy. And we were only nearly mowed down by kids on scramblers once. RESULT
I uusually go first thing in the morning when all the scratters are still in bed with there hands shoved down their undies.
Have any of you ever been to the Aintree end where the path ends and merges into the Wango lane wetlands and the Alt viaduct?

super super super site. go look what this guy has done. well done to him:handclap:
Here's two I've taken about 10 mins ago while nipping to the shops for a paper. This shows the last tunnel on the Loop Line before it stretched out over towards Childwall Station.
The tunnel is the one under the Greenhill that you can walk across from Bentham Drive to Chelwood Avenue.
The other picture is turning around and taking a shot which will bring you to the metal bridge over Childwall Valley road.
Does anyone know where the track goes to at Halewood?It forks off three ways;one onto an estate,one onto a main road and the track itself is fenced off and heads downhill out of sight.I'd love to know where it goes.
