The Heysham Boat train has just picked up the ground frame keys at Bare Lane signal box so that it can access the Heysham Port Branch at Morecambe. The December timetable change with a through train from Leeds has seen class 144 DMUs, like 144002 here, at Heysham for the first time but this necessitated Barrow drivers being trained on this type of traction. 153332, in the other platform, is heading for Lancaster on a service from Morecambe.
