The rising sun catches the flanks of Sprinter 150270 as it pulls in to Squires Gate on the 0844 Blackpool South to Colne service. The disused platform is now covered in grass apart from the edging stones. To the right of the station platform, beyond the train, contractors are busy demolishing the former Pontins holiday camp. The unit is on a diagram that starts at Blackpool at 0456 and finishes at Preston at 2354. In between it will make five round trips to Colne covering over 450 miles and 245 station stops. View south towards St Annes.
