Blackridge

Looking east towards the former Woodend Junction and yard in 2008 from what is now the newly re-opened eastbound platform at Blackridge station. The branch on the left ran to Blackrigg No 2 Colliery with further lines running to Woodend Colliery and other nearby coal mines. The footpath took a route further south here amongst the tips. Following the route of the main line, as seen here, could result in very wet feet! See image 32302
