Darwen

Appearances can be deceptive. Darwen looks like a deserted station on a double track line but in fact a sizeable number of Saturday shoppers had just joined 156472 heading north towards Blackburn on 23 July. The two tracks are actually a long passing loop, the only one on the ten mile single line section between Blackburn and Bromley Cross.
